Build your own Nixie tube clock/thermometer/display with ease. Story We set out to create a Nixie clock or just an information indicator on the largest ex-Soviet IN-18 tubes as an Arduino shield-compatible with both Uno and Mega boards. After a long reading of lots of information about IN-18 tubes on the Internet, we found out

The dream of every maker and innovator out there is to make a product that will be usable by potential users. For hardware-based products and devices, the first step in achieving this is to develop a prototype and then move from there. The prototype will involve making a circuit diagram on a breadboard and then

Whoa? Turn any EL (Electro-Luminescient) material into a touch sensor with no additional hardware. It’s an open prototyping platform for wearable electronics! Open source and Arduino IDE compatible. There are many different EL materials, including EL paint, EL panels, EL tape, EL wire. They have been integrated into a variety of applications, from motorcycle jackets, to
Whoa Board: Dream With Touch Sensing EL Wire, Panels, Paint Continue Reading
Last Thursday I had a lot of fun doing a workshop at my college (UMass Amherst) where I taught students to use a WiFi-enabled Color LED matrix combined with Javascript programs to create animations displayed onto the LED matrix. The matrix is made of 5×7 WS2812 (NeoPixel) LEDs. I’ve actually designed it two years ago

By Steven Keeping, Electronic Products 9/24/2013 LEDs have many advantages over traditional lighting including efficacy, longevity, and robustness, but price is not one of them. The reason why LEDs are expensive is partly because the manufacturing process used to fabricate the wafers from which the individual chips are cut is difficult and employs exotic materials
Will Silicon Substrates Push LED Lighting Into the Mainstream? Continue Reading
While the stench of rotting food would cause you to stop from chowing down, chances are it became unfit for consumption some time before those funky aromas wafted through your nostrils. Chemists at MIT have been working on a wireless, inexpensive sensor that, among other things, identifies spoiled food early by detecting gases in the
Wireless sensor alerts your smartphone as food begins to spoil Continue Reading
Applied Micro leads the charge to infiltrate the $12 billion server processor market with ARM-based ICs. This is not a trivial task. The $54 billion gorilla standing in Applied Micro’s way is Intel with a 90% plus share of the server processor market. So what, if any, are Applied Micro’s selling points compared to Intel’s?
Applied Micro’s X-Gene challenges for server processor market Continue Reading
