I²CDriver is an easy-to-use, open source tool for controlling I²C devices. It works with Windows, Mac, and Linux, and has a built-in color screen that shows a live “dashboard” of all the I²C activity. It uses a standard FTDI USB serial chip to talk to the PC, so no special drivers need to be installed.

Currently I’m trying to make a working version of a radioactivity detector that uses semiconductor as a sensor. It’s a different approach than Geiger-Muller detectors or ionization chambers, more complicated, but also much more interesting. While Geiger-Muller counters can only provide information about the amount of particles in a period of time, semiconductor detectors can

At last week’s IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) in San Francisco (USA), imec, the world-leading research and innovation hub in nano-electronics and digital technology and Holst Centre debuted a miniaturized sensor that simultaneously determines pH and chloride (Cl-)levels in fluid. This innovation is a must have for accurate long-term measurement of ion concentrations in
Texas Instruments’ 4 V to 40 V, 1 A converter features high-efficiency Eco-mode™ at light loads Texas Instruments’s LMR14010A is a pulse-width modulated (PWM), DC-to-DC, buck (step-down) regulator that features a wide input range of 4 V to 40 V, suitable for a wide range of applications from industrial to automotive. An ultra-low 1 µA shutdown current prolongs the battery
