There are many Quadrotor Projects out there. But, they require a hobbyist to deal with the Frame Designing (Mechanical), a bit of Microcontroller knowledge as well as dealing with the Motor Control (Power Electronics). You may purchase a commercial Radio and a readymade Kit for flying. But, to Do-It-Yourself, is an achievement in itself. Here is […]

[Marcel] thought – what if he had more control over his house ventilation system? You could add some nifty features, such as automatically ventilating your house in the mornings when everyone’s away, only creating noise when nobody’s around to hear it. Sadly, most ventilation systems are not automation-friendly at all – he was lucky, however,

A printed Circuit board or PCB is a non-conductive material with various conductive lines etched or printed. Electric components are mounted on the board, and traces attach the components to create a working circuit. But before you come up with a PCB, you need to start with a design. PCB design brings the electronic circuits

Hey Everyone what’s up! So this is my “FLUX Capacitor” PCB Badge which is a replica of the actual Flux Capacitor which was in back to the future movie. The Flux Capacitor was the core component of Dr. Emmett Brown’s time-traveling DeLorean time machine which makes time travel possible. Also, the Flux Capacitor in the

Novel programming interfaces for MCUs might catch us by surprise, but then we inevitably get up to speed with the changes required. Today’s bastion is HVTPI – a “12V reset” addition to the TPI we’ve just started getting used to, and [Sam Ettinger] has shared a simple circuit to teach us all about it, along with PCB

In this Instructable I will show you how I made my PCB Farkle Game! Farkle, also known as 10000, Zilch, 6 Dice, and Ten Thousand, is a fun and challenging dice game with multiple variations and scoring options. I first got the inspiration from my twin brother, Sunyecz06’s Liar’s Dice PCB game in which he utilized a

I’ve been a fan of Commerical Nanoleaf available in the market but their cost is pretty high so I try to make my own version by designing a WS2812B LED strip and connecting three of these strips together in a triangular shape to make a Nanoleaf like setup. The goal here was to make a

While making PCBs is now more affordable and easier than ever with several free open source tools for the design and several online manufacturers with fast turn around and doorstep delivery, one of its main challenges still remains board validations, and testing. As simple as this task may seem, it becomes quite laborious for complex

I’ve not used an FM radio for years, but if you’d like to teach younger generations about older technology and show them how to solder components there’s an RDA5807 based kit that would allow you to build DIY FM Radio operating in the 87 MHz to 108 MHz range. The JC-300 kit comes with a

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
