There was a point in time, excruciatingly brief, in which desktop computers often had a large “TURBO” button on their front panel. Some even featured an LED display that would indicate the current CPU frequency, providing visual conformation that your machine had leaped to a blistering 66 MHz. The 486 that [someyob] is restoring had […]

If there’s one area of the human anatomy we rarely try to draw the eye, it’s the ears. Nonetheless, [DIY GUY Chris] has developed some LED earrings that should do exactly that. The earrings are made using PCBs as the very body of the jewelry itself. The PCBs for each ear play host to eight WS2812

Lighting to energize or relax: new LED packages help improve alertness and the quality of sleep by adjusting melatonin levels. Samsung Electronics unveiled its first “human-centric” LED packages, collectively known as LM302N. Engineered with carefully created light spectra, the LM302N family helps human bodies adjust melatonin levels indoors, making people feel more energetic or relaxed
Description The AS3661 is a 9-channel LED driver designed to produce lighting effects for mobile devices. A highefficiency charge pump enables LED driving over full LiIon battery voltage range. The device is equipped with an internal program memory, which allows operation without processor control. The AS3661 maintains excellent efficiency over a wide operating range by
Driving nine LEDs on a power budget, says ams Continue Reading
7-Segment LED Display is a very useful component, but also a very confusing and difficult piece to use for beginners. It won’t be difficult once you get it working for the first time. This is what you will get at the end of the tutorial (part one): It basically consists of 7 LEDs, (8 if include

The ESP32-based M5Stack ATOM from Espressif is the smallest (24 x 24mm) development board available in the market, which is designed for portable embedded systems and IoT development projects. M5Stack is the most cost-effective product due to its small size and there is no battery integrated to it. The M5Stack has two types of units in the ATOM series,
Tektronix, Inc. today announced the new 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter® 10μs Pulser/SMU Instrument, integrating a high-speed current pulser with DC source and measurement functions in one instrument. The new system incorporates PulseMeter™ technology for sourcing current pulses as short as 10μsec at 10A and 10V without the need to manually tune the output to match device impedance up to 3μH. This
A Binary Clock! I was recently looking at some binary clocks and I felt like Why not? I have everything to make one and I don’t have a clock in my room. So I decided to build one and here it is. Hope you Like it and maybe build your own. It’s a cool project

Introducing the RainBoard: A simple RGB LED Rainbow fader using an Arduino Uno and a few simple components. Believe it or not, we will control 45-channels of RGB LEDs at 32 brightness levels using only 3 digital pins from the Arduino! How is this possible you ask? By using two magic concepts: Shift Registers, and
