The Arduino family of open-source engineering design tools has long been associated with T-shirted hobbyists and garage-based startups. But as part of a realization that many of the platform’s supporters are now in the corporate world, the firm is expanding the availability of its tools for enterprise applications. Arduino’s humble beginnings at the Interaction Design Institute […]

Stewart platforms are pretty neat, and not seen in the wild all that often, perhaps because there aren’t a vast number of hacker-friendly applications that need quite this many degrees of freedom within such a restricted movement range. Anyway, here’s an interesting implementation from the the curiously named [Circular-Base-Stewart-Platform] YouTube channel (no, we can’t find

I had think of making a game on Arduino quite a while. An idea strikes to my mind while I was playing a quite popular game which is available on apps and pc, 2048. 2048 is actually a game created by Gabriele Cirulli, aged 19, Itallian web developer. The objective of this game is to

The ITG-100AI is pre-installed with a Mustang-MPCIE-MX2 AI accelerator card, which includes two Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X VPU, to provide a flexible AI inference solution. VPU is short for vision processing unit. It can run AI faster, and is well suited for low power consumption applications such as surveillance, retail and transportation. With the advantage of
Here we have it – an affordable Open Source Laser RangeFinder – OSLRF-01 from www.lightware.co.za. You can order it fully assembled and working or just PCB and optics (all other components have to find by Yourself). So next step is connect it somehow to something. At that moment I found just one sucsess story shared

Researchers from the University of Twente MESA+ research institute, together with the company SolMateS, have developed a new type of transistor to reduce the power consumption of microchips. The basic element of modern electronics, namely the transistor, suffers from significant current leakage. By enveloping a transistor with a shell of piezoelectric material, which distorts when

There are a host of boards based around the ESP32, and also its follow up, the ESP8266. It’s noteworthy to witness how they have evolved from the simple breakout boards they were when the chip was released back in 2015 to something a lot more major. The latest of these boards is the esp32MX-E from Modtronix Engineering, which will be raising soon on Crowd Supply. Measuring

A reference board design developed by Future Electronics is intended to support the development of audio functions in industrial products such as security equipment and public access systems. DESCRIPTION The WM8593 is a high performance multi-channel audio CODEC with flexible input/output selection and digital and analogue volume control. Features include a 24-bit stereo ADC with digital
Ref design Future’s audio is based on Wolfson codec Continue Reading
This is a 60V to 5V – 3.5A step down DC-DC converter based on TPS54360B from Texas Instruments. Sample applications are: 12 V, 24 V and 48 V industrial, Automotive and Communications Power Systems. The TPS54360 is a 60V, 3.5A, step down regulator with an integrated high side MOSFET. The device survives load dump pulses up to 65V

We always enjoy videos from [FesZ], so when we saw his latest about tips and tricks for LTSpice, we decided to put the 20 minutes in to watch it. But we noticed in the text that he has an entire series of video tutorials about LTSpice and that this is actually episode 30. So there’s plenty
