Today I came across a surprisingly simple approach to installing USBasp and USBtiny drivers for all versions of Windows — XP, 7, 8, 8.1, whether 32-bit or 64-bit, all inclusive! As you may know, installing open-source drivers such as USBasp and USBtiny have been a great pain on some of the recent Windows OS, due […]

THE SETUP For an interface I thought 3 LEDs would be simple enough: Blue for everything is fine (as blue LEDs are cooler than green ones); red for something is wrong; and yellow for the modem and router are being restarted. I added a button to do the actual restarting as I wanted it to […]

Farnell element14 have announced that they will be stocking the BitScope BS10 measurement device which combines a 2-channel USB oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, 8-channel logic analyzer and function generator. You can use it with a PC running Windows or Linux, an Apple Mac or even a Raspberry Pi. Sampling rate is up to 40Msample/s giving it […]

This program will allow adjust the speed of a blinking LED with analog input. Follow this patch to connect a potentiometer to your Arduino board. Then put an the long lead of an LED in pin 13 of your digital in/out, and the short lead in Ground. /* * AnalogInput * by DojoDave <http://www.0j0.org> * […]

What´s more, M66 is currently the smallest quad band GSM/GPRS moduloe in the world … AT the same time it withstands strong frosts, so it´s ready for a wide spectrum of applications. New extraordinary attractive communication module Quectel M66 asks its place maybe even in your application. Does it deserve it? Most probably yes. Besides […]

In this tutorial Dave explains what a PCB spark gap is and how it can be a useful zero cost addition to your PCB layout to help prevent ESD damage. He shows how to easily design them into your board and calculate the approximate voltage rating. And of course has some fun applying 5kV to […]

How does the security alarm circuit works? When power is turned on, the circuit goes into standby mode, and this condition is indicated by “SECURITY ALARM” in the LCD screen.Note that here a N/O reedswitch + bar magnet combination is used to detect any mishaps, and hence the reed switch should be in “closed”state at […]

A line follower robot using 8051 microcontroller is already published here and this time the same thing is done using  arduino. This line follower robot is basically designed to follow a black line on a white surface. Any way the same project can be used to follow the opposite configuration with appropriate changes in the […]

In the manufacturing industry, a wide variety of devices used at home or in the garden has been experiencing challenges in automating linear displacement of any of the items used. For instance, For example, an automatic opening of gates, automatic unlocking and changing positions of mirrors concentrating solar collection might be facing the problem of […]

Introduction Having been a CodeProject member for several years, and not having got round to ever publishing an article, left me feeling a bit disappointed in myself. I have thought many a time on what kind of article I can produce. Then after coming across some great articles by jeffb42 here on CodeProject, my problem […]
