MAX21002 – Ultra Accurate Low Power Dual Axis Digital Output Gyroscope

MAX21002 – Ultra-Accurate, Low Power, Dual-Axis Digital Output Gyroscope

The MAX21002 is a low-power, low-noise, dual-axis angular rate sensor that delivers unprecedented accuracy and sensitivity over temperature and time. It operates with a supply voltage as low as 1.71V for minimum power consumption. It includes a sensing element and an IC interface that provides the measured angular rate to the external world through a […]

New LED Photo Flash Drivers for Smartphone Cameras Improve Image Quality

Widespread adoption of cameras in smartphones and other mobile devices, together with consumer expectations for higher quality, sharper images are driving the need for simpler designs, smaller sizes, and lower component counts, particularly as many smartphones move to integrate front- and back-facing cameras. Mobile phone cameras will increase from approximately 1.6 billion units in 2011

Tutorial- Arduino and the TI ADS1110 16-bit ADC

Moving on from the last chapter where we explained an 8-bit ADC, in this instalment we have the Texas Instruments ADS1110 – an incredibly tiny but useful 16-bit analogue-to-digital converter IC.  It can operate between 2.7 and 5.5 V so it’s also fine for Arduino Due and other lower-voltage development boards. This is a quick guide

Bioelectrical Body Fat Analyzer

Bioelectrical Body Fat Analyzer

Introduction For our final project, we have decided to use the microcontroller provided to make a device which would measure body fat percentage of one’s body. The basic principle behind this project is known as bioelectrical impedance analysis. This technique uses a small alternating current flowing between two electrodes attached to skin surface to determine
