Wearable electronic devices that intend to track and measure the body’s movements must be soft enough to flex and stretch to accommodate every body-movement. But, integrating rigid electronics on skin-like flexible materials has proven to be challenging. Clearly, Such components cannot stretch like soft materials can, and this mismatch frequently causes wearable devices to fail. Recently scientists solved t ...

Two students are behind an idea that could change how a classroom operates. Stephen Kibe and Evans Simiyu, both fifth year Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering students, are behind an innovation that will make cleaning the board easier. “According to research done, a lot of time is spent on cleaning the whiteboard in a classroom. This cleaning goes beyond time wastage to interfering with ...

Arduino has launched a SIM-only service exclusively for IoT (internet of things) devices based on the Arduino platform to give developers and manufacturers cellular access to the Arduino IoT Cloud platform. The cellular service, provided by Arm Pelion Connectivity Management, means a single physical Arduino SIM can be used in more than 100 countries worldwide with one simple data plan. The Arduino SIM data ...

The Design Idea in Figure 1 is a color detector capable of generating an RGB triplet over a high dynamic range, a useful attribute for machine vision applications. The circuit implements auto-exposure control to achieve this. Thus, RGB values for a subject are invariant over a range of light intensity. The three common-cathode RGB photodiodes (U1) are reverse‑biased and pre-charged to VR (typically 0.5V) th ...

This is my first time designing a PCB for MSP430. I really like the NRF24L01+ booster pack but I would like something smaller to use for remote temperature sensors. With that in mind I've designed a 24.5 x 50 mm PCB (2 on a 5x5 cm prototype) featuring MSP430G2553 and an adapter for a 8-pin NRF24L01+ module using essentially the same pinout, with the intention of using the Spirilis library. There's a jack so ...

is a designer and manufacturer of low power, high speed Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) carbon dioxide gas sensors. Recently, it has claimed a new speed record for its SprintIR6S NDIR CO2 sensor. The new sensor comes with response rates that had never been reached before by any other NDIR CO2 sensors. It can take up to 20 readings per second, and has a six-times faster response rate than the current SprintIR ...

Features 3V and GND connections can be made from either side and allow you to power a second board such as the MonkMakes Relay Board or MonkMakes Speaker. LED ‘power on’ indicator Reverse polarity protection All three sensors are analog and can be connected to pins P0, P1 and P2 using alligator clips. Getting Started Connecting to your micro:bit You only have to wire up the sensors that you are actually usi ...

Over the Christmas break, my parents were out of town to celebrate the holidays. When they came back, they saw something every homeowner fears – a flooded basement. In a basement, there are pipes that collect water from around the foundation and bring it into the sump pit, which pumps it out away from the house. When the sump pump fails, water has no way to leave the basement and it floods. I recently bough ...
