Even the actual series like SHT1x and SHT2x belong to a top in this segment. Forthcoming series SHT3x (SHT30, SHT31 and soon also SHT35) addresses mainly those of you, requiring maximum accuracy even in limit values (humidity below 10% and above 90%), miniature dimensions and ultra low power consumption. So a main difference of a […]

Alright! So hello everyone! Long time user, follower, commenter but first time iblest here! So for my first instructable I thought I’d share a recent simple project I made; a Buck Converter. Buck Converters are great! I use them all over the place in many of my nerdy, techy, geeky hobbiest projects. They also can

I was extremely satisfied (and proud) of the way that the enclosure turned out for the rework of my 7490 Clock. The electronics on the other hand, is another story. Since it was one of the first things I ever built, I decided to put it in an enclosure of its own and consider it

There are several possibilities how to make a device exquisite – and one of them is certainly a unique design. From this point of view, enclosures with red-anodized surface are simply eye-catching. Elegant red surface (matt) makes a luxury impression and it´s obvious at the first sight, that we don´t deal with a simple color
HAMMOND 1455 aluminium enclosures now also in attractive red version Continue Reading
This is a magic box which will let you monitor the power consumption of your house from anywhere on the Internet! It measures both true power (Watts) and apparent (VA) power, it keeps a running total of electricity units used, and measures mains frequency as a bonus. The project uses a Particle Core(*) module –

LAPIS Semiconductor, a ROHM Group Company, has recently announced the development of a low power microcontroller that integrates an 8bit low power MCU core, speech synthesis circuit, high efficiency Class D speaker amp, non-volatile memory, and oscillator circuit on a single chip, making audio playback possible by simply connecting to a speaker. The ML610Q304 also
Features Wide VIN Range: 4.5V to 60V (65V Abs Max) Wide Output Voltage Range: 0.8V ≤ VOUT ≤ 99% • VIN Adjustable Gate Drive Level 5V to 10V (OPTI-DRIVE) No External Bootstrap Diodes Required Low Operating IQ: 29μA (One Channel On) Selectable Gate Drive UVLO Thresholds Out-of-Phase Operation Reduces Required Input Capacitance and Power Supply Induced

Researchers have successfully transferred monolayer graphene to fibers commonly used in the textile industry. The transparent, flexible material could one day be used to create embedded wearable electronics, such as phones, fitness trackers or MP3 players. Not only is graphene strong and flexible, but it’s also the thinnest substance capable of conducting electricity, giving it
Graphene-coated fibers make a good fit for wearable electronics Continue Reading
Initial testing. Ignore the humidity sensor, that was for something else. The vacuum gauge outputs 0-10VDC. This had to be changed to a 0-5VDC range using a potential divider so it was compatible with the Arduino. Initial build used a 10k pot in place of a vacuum gauge to make it simpler. The OLED screen
Arduino Vacuum Gauge Display Continue Reading
Company MEC, Dutch producer of top-class push-button switches Multimec, Unimec and others comes with good news for developers and producers of electronics. Well-known reliable push-buttons were in majority of cases available in so called standard version (L6, -40…+115°C) and in a high-temperature version (H9, -40…+160°C). From now on, all types will be gradually available only
High-temperature versions of MEC switches now for the price of standard versions. Continue Reading
