TELEDYNE LECROY T3DSO1000 SERIES OSCILLOSCOPES

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Teledyne LeCroy T3DSO1000 Oscilloscopes are a 2- and 4-channel series of high-speed waveform-capturing devices. The robust T3DSO1000 series can capture up to 400,000wfm/s (in sequence mode), using a 7-inch TFT-LCD to display 256-level, intensity-grading results at 800×480 pixels. This family of oscilloscopes features 100MHz and 200MHzmodels, a digital intelligent trigger system, security erase mode, pass/fail functions, and USB compatibility. The 4-channel Teledyne […]

STOMP BUTTON, RECEIVE CANDY

Arduino News / By Tismail

If there’s any holiday that is worth adjusting for strange times, it’s gotta be Halloween. Are you inclined to leave a bowl of candy on the porch to avoid the doorbell? If so, this is the perfect year to finally figure out some sort of metering apparatus so that greedy preteens are less likely to

ARDUINO AND WIRE DETECTS METAL

Arduino News / By Tismail

Our old math teacher famously said, “You have to take what you know and use it find what you don’t know.” The same holds true for a lot of microcontroller designs including [rgco’s] clever metal detector that uses very little other than an Arduino. The principle of operation is simple. An Arduino can measure time, a coil

ARDUINO BOBBIN WINDING MACHINE IS FREAKY FAST

Arduino News / By Tismail

One of the worst things about sewing is finding out that your bobbin — that’s the smaller spool that works together with the needle and the larger spool to make a complete stitch — ran out of thread several stitches ago. If you’re lucky, the machine has a viewing window on the bobbin so you

Simple LED Projects using Arduino

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

This article is another step forward in learning more about Arduino. In our previous article, I have written in detail about blinking an LED using Arduino. We have demonstrated 5 simple led based projects using arduino, which will help you to learn its basic concepts. 1. Blinking Two LED’s using arduino 2. Control LED using

Exclusively select 1 of N relays

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Sometimes you may need a group of switches where, if any switch is activated, it deactivates the previously active switch. This Design Idea implements such a function with relays. This “one and only one” function is often implemented as mechanical switches in which an actuator (usually a movable metal bracket) is used to switch contact

PRECISION METAL DETECTOR FINDS NEEDLES IN HAYSTACKS

Arduino News / By Tismail

Full-size metal detectors are great for narrowing down a region to start digging through. But what if you had a smaller metal detector that could pinpoint the location? Then you could spend far less time digging and way more time sweeping for metal. Metal detectors work because of the way metal behaves around electromagnetic fields. [mircemk] reused

TURNING A DESK DRAWER INTO A FLIGHT YOKE

Arduino News / By Tismail

[Christofer Hiitti] found himself with the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator on his PC, but the joystick he ordered was still a few weeks out. So he grabbed an Arduino, potentiometers and a button and hacked together what a joke-yoke. The genius part of this hack is the way [Christopher] used his desk drawer for pitch control.
