I made a 4 joystick game controller with arduino for space games. However, there is a game category that is lacking. essentially, I need “velocidrone in space” ,, I have a pretty good grasp on the way that a space drone should race by now, I’ve played enough of the existing games that offer some […]
I can’t dev no skills, but need a space game that doesn’t exist (for me to play) Continue Reading
In this instructable I’m going to show you how to build your own portable audio transmitter. This transmits FM waves so you could easily get the signals on your mobile phone, radios, etc. As the name and the picture indicates it is very small and is approximately the size of a 9v battery clip. This

Faced with an old console stereo from the 1960s that was barely functional, [Sherman Banks] aka W4ATL decided to upgrade its guts while keeping its appearance as close to the original as possible. This stereo set is a piece of mahogany furniture containing an AM/FM stereo receiver and an automatic turntable from JCPenny’s Penncrest line. As best [Sherman] can

Underscoring how far semiconductor makers have come during the pandemic, Xilinx, Intel and Lattice all announced releases of their largest field-programmable gate array (FPGA) platforms to date, and newer platforms with higher I/O count, memory bandwidth and transceiver bandwidth are sure to follow. Terabit bandwidths used to be unheard of, but today’s data center grade

So, you have a CNC laser cutter but you want a CNC mill? Problem solved. This project is a small CNC mill that can be assembled from store-bought and laser-cut parts for about $800 without machine tools. (If you have access to a shop with a chop saw and a drill press that’ll be helpful,

A few years back, Boardcon introduced EM3399 single board computer powered by a Rockchip RK3399 processor through the company’s PICO3399 SO-DIMM system-on-module. They’ve now designed another RK3399 based SBC , the Idea3399 – comprised of a baseboard and module, but instead of re-using the SO-DIMM module, CM3399 system-on-module with castellated holes was used instead. The new board comes with

To do something useful, a microcontroller (MCU) must be connected to other devices. This connection is made through input/output (I/O) pins. More times than not, these days pins are multifunctional and can connect to A/Ds, D/As, linear functions (such as op amps and comparators), voltage references, and more. So for the design engineer, protecting these
