Hey Everyone, Today I hope to teach you all about ultrasonic sensors and hopefully by the end you’ll have a nice little digital tape measure of your own to use as you please. Enjoy Step 1: Parts List This is my second version of this project so if you can get it as small or […]

Oscilloscopes and Signal Generators are two essential electronics devices to create and test electronic circuits. Unfortunately, these devices are very expensives for students starting electronics, or makers who want use electronic circuits in their creations just once… The idea of my project is to rethink your smartphone as a portable, powerful and secured platform, able

In this project you’re going to make two ESP8266 talk with each other. RELATED CONTENT: Like ESP8266? Check out Home Automation Using ESP8266 How it works? You’re going to set one ESP as an Access Point (Server) and another ESP as a Station (Client). Then they’ll establish a wireless communication and the Client sends a message to the
As most electronic engineers and hobbyists do, I have a great respect for the earlier ways of controlling electrons, before it was found out that silicon could be used to miniaturize everything a thousandfold. It is amazing that things like a vacuum, a glow wire and a bunch of strange-looking metal bits can actually do

The GS66540C (the picture is of a prior, lower-current part) high current power devices will be revealed for the first time. Part of the company’s family of 650V gallium nitride power transistors based on its proprietary Island Technology, these high density devices achieve extremely efficient power conversion with fast switching rates of >100V/nsec and ultra-low
I started playing with electronics back when I was 10 years old in Argentina, where I grew up. Then I got my ham radio operator license when I was 16 years old and I was very active in the ham club and on the air. It was then when I built my first vacuum tube
Not long ago, I reached 50 000 views on my ESP8266 Wi-fi module. I was quite amazed and wanted to thank everybody that watched it, liked it and commented on it. On September 2., I published instructable on Weather station and got featured only 15 min after publish. I was very motivated to do more

PORTLAND, Ore.—Today Yole Development predicted that power transistors would radically shift from silicon wafers to silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) substrates—to achieve higher power in smaller spaces, according to its GaN and SiC Devices for Power Electronics Applications report. One of the big drivers behind the shift is the electric vehicle (EV) and
In Part 1 of this series, we demonstrated how to send signals using soft or Simple Infrared PWM on Arduino. In our Part 2 post we looked at sending RAW IR signals – specifically a RAW NEC signal and a longer RAW Mitsubishi Air Conditioner signal using soft PWM. We have since improved the PWM
