We’ve gotten used to seeing “meta clocks,” clocks that use an array of analog clock faces and piece together characters using the hands of the clocks. They’re very clever, and we always like to see them, especially when they come with detailed build instructions like this one does. What’s also nice about [Erich Styger]’s “MetaClockClock” display […]

Making a microcontroller perform as a frequency counter is a relatively straightforward task involving the measurement of the time period during which a number of pulses are counted. The maximum frequency is however limited to a fraction of the microcontroller’s clock speed and the accuracy of the resulting instrument depends on that of the clock

Developed in the dark hours of the night, between 2 and 8 o’clock in the morning of August 19th by Marcelo Samsoniuk, the DarkRISC-V stack is an experimental open source implementation of the RISC-V standard targeting the low-cost Xilinx Spartan-6 family of FPGAs. Following a week of debugging, Samsoniuk has released the implementation to GitHub

Designed for use in PCIe boards, communications infrastructure, cloud computing-based systems, medical, industrial, and test and measurement equipment, the LTM4646 is a dual 10A or single 20A output, step-down µModule PoL regulator from 5.0 or 12V input supply rails. It targets the PCB area constraints of densely populated system boards to power low voltage and
Compact Module regulator is for use with FPGAs, GPUs and ASICs Continue Reading
Do you (still) remember the display of your old CD player, HiFi system or car radio? Have you ever noticed the displays used at your local supermarket that shows you the scanned item and the price of it? These displays have a characteristic beautiful bright blue-green colored glow in common: These are so called vacuum

Introduction Hi guys, in one of our previous tutorials, we made a real time clock, using the DS3231 RTC Module and the 1602 LCD display module. For this tutorial, we will be building something similar using the DS1302 RTC module and the Nokia 5110 display module. Unlike the 1602 LCD module which was used in

We’re used to our computers being powerful enough in both peripheral and processing terms to be almost infinitely configurable under the control of software, but there was a time when that was not the case. The 8-bit generation of home computers were working towards the limits of their capability just to place an image on

Scopeclock is an easy to use hardware to make your X-Y capable analog oscilloscope more useful .Using this simple to use hardware you can convert your analog oscilloscope into a scope clock.This project was me and my friend kshitij gupta at CEDT nsit under the guidance of Prof. Dhananjay V.Gadre. Scope clock has two modes

While it is hard to tell with a photo, this robot looks more like a model of an old- fashioned clock than anything resembling a Nixie tube. It’s the kind of project that could have been created by anyone with a little bit of Arduino tinkering experience. In this case, the 3D printer used by
A 3D-PRINTED NIXIE CLOCK POWERED BY AN ARDUINO RUNS THIS ROBOT Continue Reading
Recently, I discovered six 2.3-inch red 7-segment displays in my collection that I had purchased from Rapid Electronics during their clearance of non-RoHS stock. Since I didn’t have a clock at my workbench, I decided to turn them into a Large LED Clock Project using a prototyping pad board, a Microchip PIC18F26K20 microcontroller, and a
