For makers and electronics engineers, the oscilloscope is one of the most important tools in the lab. It is a test instrument for visualizing and observing various signals usually as a two-dimensional plot of signals against time. Apart from being used to view and compare waveforms in the design and debugging of electronic systems, the […]

Silicon detectors are widely used in particle and nuclear physics for measuring ionizing radiation. This Do-It-Yourself project allows making a low-cost particle detector from scratch using silicon photodiodes. It can distinguish different particle types (alpha particles and electrons) and measures their energy between 33 keV and 8 MeV. The detector must be shielded from light and

If your project demands some high precision analog measurements, then here is a new Olimex BB-ADS1262 that can help get the job done easily; with up to 10 channels of 32-bit ADC conversion, the new BB-AD S1262 breakout board is considered a great add-on for microcontrollers. Before, system designers who needed a high-resolution analog-to-digital-converter have

There was a time not that long ago when every tool was cordless. But now, cordless power tools have proliferated to the point where the mere thought of using a plain old wrist-twisting screwdriver is enough to trigger a bout of sympathetic repetitive injury. And the only thing worse than that is to discover that

When forgetting to take medication on time can lead to a bad day or night, having a helper to keep you on track can greatly improve your life. [M. Bindhammer] faces this scenario every day, so he built his own robotic pill dispenser. The core of the project is a 3D printed dispensing drum with individual

The mechanical keyboard community is a vibrant, if not fanatical, group of enthusiasts determined to find as many possible ways of assembling, building, and using as many high-quality keyboards as possible. With so many dedicated participants, most things that can be done with a keyboard already have been done. So when something as unique as this
MECHANICAL KEYBOARD IS ALSO A MOUSE Continue Reading
This year the Arduino team and platform will be celebrating the 10th birthday of Arduino Day, which and has come a long way over the last 10 years . Although the Arduino platform and brand has been around for approximately 17 years, after first being started at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII) in Ivrea, Italy. Hernando Barragán created
Arduino Day celebrates its 10th birthday this year Continue Reading
