We have finally reached the era of IOT (Internet of Things) and it’s all over the place on practically every nook and cranny of the world. According to professionals, IoT can be illustrated as two things- the fourth industrial upheaval and the greatest thing that has happened since the eruption of .com. With the latest […]

If you haven’t seen [Ken Shirriff]’s teardowns and reverse engineering expeditions, then you’re in for a treat. His explanation and demonstration of the Apollo digital ranging system is a fascinating read, even if vintage computing and engineering aren’t part of your normal fare. The average Hackaday reader should be familiar with the concept of determining the distance

A digital multimeter is an electronics measurement tool which is a necessary and powerful tool for every hacker, engineer, and maker. It can be used as a voltmeter, ohmmeter, ammeter, continuity meter, and some even offer more features than this. At the hand of a creative hacker, it might just be the only debugging or measurement tool

Context and Preparation Getting started with tinkering on Microcontrollers can often be hindered by the need to purchase hardware. In this tutorial, we offer an introduction to Arduino that requires no prior experience and no physical hardware. Instead, we will utilize an Arduino simulator called TinkerCAD. However, for those who do have the hardware, we
Introduction to Arduino Using TinkerCAD Simulator: No Hardware Required Continue Reading
This circuit demonstration showcases a random LED flasher controlling twenty lights. LED flashers and sequencers are commonly employed in decorative lighting applications to produce aesthetically pleasing color patterns. Rather than steadfast illumination, these systems cycle LEDs on and off in either a predetermined sequence or at irregular intervals. The latter approach generates a more dynamic,
What are we messing with? IoT (Internet of things) set-up to operate/control 220-240 Volt AC Bulb/Device NodeMCU Amica + 5V Relay + MQTT + Arduino IDE + Web Browser (HTML + JavaScript/jQuery) WARNING!! – THIS PROJECT INVOLVES WORKING WITH HIGH VOLTAGES THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH, AND/OR SET YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE. PLEASE PROCEED
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

If you’re like me, after I got my Arduino and performed a final programming on my first chip, I wanted to pull it off my Arduino Duemilanove and put it on my own circuit. This would also free up my Arduino for future projects. The problem was that I’m such an electronics newbie that I didn’t know

There are several ways to produce a negative voltage from a positive voltage source, including using a transformer or two inductors and/or multiple switches. However, none are as easy as using the LTC3863, which is elegant in its simplicity, has superior efficiency at light loads and reduces parts count compared to alternative solutions. Advanced Controller
