The dB (decibel) is one of the most common units in engineering, yet also one of the most confusing, especially when it comes to manipulating S-parameters. Here is how not to be confused. The Bel is a fundamentally new unit, which was originally established in 1928 by The Bell System to describe sound levels. This …
In this section we will explain exactly how you can create your own Amblone setup, consisting of 3 RGB LED strips and an Arduino Mega. What do I need? To create the Amblone setup described in this guide, you will need the following: Amblone software An Arduino microcontroller, for example the Arduino Mega A USB …
Hey, I am a big fan of Instructables. I have consistently used it for the past 3 years and now its time for me to write one myself.Here we go. This instructable is for those who want to make some inanimate object tweet automatically. Like say for example you are building a robot and you want the …

An h-bridge is a chip that allows DC motors to be run versatile, with bidirectional capability. With an H-bridge, motors can go forward or backward, left or right, up or down, etc, depending on the use of the motor(s) in the circuit. Without a microcontroller, the only way to be able to control an H-bridge …
