Build your own Nixie tube clock/thermometer/display with ease. Story We set out to create a Nixie clock or just an information indicator on the largest ex-Soviet IN-18 tubes as an Arduino shield-compatible with both Uno and Mega boards. After a long reading of lots of information about IN-18 tubes on the Internet, we found out

Introduction Greetings to all, hoping everyone is in good health. We’re thrilled to present our newest article about Arduino projects. This article discusses the development of a robot arm that is operated through hand movements with the help of Arduino UNO. To identify hand motions, we will use four IR sensors placed in four separate

Low-power radios, often referred to in the amateur radio community as QRP radios, have experienced a resurgence in popularity lately. Blame it on certain parts of the hobby become more popular, like Parks on the Air (POTA) or Summits on the Air (SOTA). These are events where a radio operator operates off-grid at remote parks
OFF-GRID RADIO ALSO REPAIRABLE OFF-GRID Continue Reading
Welcome to our new blog series based on our experience with PCB manufacture and assembly, courtesy of our engineers. Over the years, we’ve seen our fair share of blunders and subsequent losses over the course of the hardware development process. With a bit of understanding, forward-thinking and patience many of these problems can easily be

C&K’s FDSD and FDSE series are micro-mini, side-actuated detection switches suitable for applications which require vertical side detection. They are particularly useful for safety control applications, and for medical and consumer devices. An example of the use of these switches is in inhalers, where they detect the presence of a cartridge, activating the drug delivery process and confirming

The finger-tip sized ARM Cortex-M4F module with BT 5, BT Mesh, and 30 I/O The arrival of Bluetooth 5 was a significant leap forward for the IoT developer community, especially with its new Bluetooth Mesh functionality, which connects more devices and more sensors. Nearly four billion devices are expected to be shipped with Bluetooth technology

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) researchers in Germany have developed a single-atom transistor that can reduce the power consumption of electronic systems significantly. The device is being developed by Professor Thomas Schimmel and his team at the Institute of Applied Physics (APH). The single-atom transistor switches electrical current by controlled repositioning of a single atom in a gel electrolyte. The
