Simplify yourself a mechanical design of a device

Success and reliability of a device depends not only on laboratory tests in “ideal conditions” but also on its mechanical construction. Elimination of mutual influence (EMC), optimal space usage, resistance to vibrations, easy assembly at production are one of factors why it´s worth to design mechanical part of a device into details. At production of

Things heat up for self destructing electronic devices

Things heat up for self-destructing electronic devices

Expanding on previous research into electronic devices that dissolve in water once they have reached the end of their useful life, researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new type of “transient” electronic device that self-destructs in response to heat exposure. The work is aimed at making it easy for materials from devices

Haptic Feedback device for the Visually Impaired Project HALO

Haptic Feedback device for the Visually Impaired [Project HALO] using arduino

I recently watched an episode of Stan Lee’s Superhumans which featured a blind man who used a series of clicks, like a bat, to echo locate his surroundings. I got to thinking about other blind people and their ability to navigate freely – without the use of a guide dog or cane. I came up

Select circuit-protection devices with free online tool

The free ESD Suppression Selection Tool, from Littelfuse captures the environment where a circuit-protection device resides, and then runs a software simulation of the device. “This tool doesn’t evaluate our part as a standalone device because the part never operates as a standalone device,” said Chad Marak, director of semiconductor business development for Littelfuse. “It

SPI electronic device

Using an Arduino to Control or Test an SPI electronic device

There are many electronic devices that use the SPI  bus, or Serial Peripheral Interface bus, for communications (e.g. various sensors, LCD displays, digital potentiometers, D/A and A/D converters, wireless transmitters and receivers, audio volume controls).  The devices receive data serially from a microcontroller using a 3-wire set-up that includes a chip select signal (usually titled
