I’ve been in possession of an Arduino Duemilanove for a couple of weeks. If you are unfamiliar with the Arduino, it is defined as “a platform for creating electronics prototypes using adaptable, user-friendly hardware and software”. The setup consists of a small microcontroller, a USB port for programming on a computer, a power socket for

DIY wattmeter with an Arduino Measuring power and energy using regular multimeters can be challenging or even unfeasible at times. In order to conduct such a precise and reliable measurement, a specific wattmeter is necessary. Due to their high cost, an alternative option is introduced in the form of a homemade wattmeter using an Arduino

People love listening to music while exercising. Music provides the motivation needed for individuals to keep exerting energy and get in shape. So, because people enjoy listening to music while exercising, what if an MP3 player only played an individual’s music while they are active? Using music as an incentive to continue exercising would encourage

Being electronics engineers, we consistently rely on meters and instruments to gauge and study the functionality of a circuit. From basic multimeters to advanced power quality analyzers or DSOs, each device serves specific purposes. Many of these gauges are easily accessible and can be bought depending on the measurements needed and their precision. However, there

His creation is a 26-key drum pad setup that combines MIDI and USB connectivity, featuring a fixed velocity byte for 10 drum switches alongside a 16-key velocity-sensitive circuit. This system utilizes piezo sensors to achieve a complete velocity range from 0 to 127. The drums are already chosen to be sent to the MIDI outputs
