The permutations that fine food has gone through in the last 20 years has been quite amazing. Every nuance has been tweaked and romanced over. Growing up in the midwest where food was taken in merely to prevent bodily collapse until that one day when we went to McDonalds for the first time and I […]

This time I’ll show how I used an Arduino to control a relay module with eight channels. Arduino in offers several advantages such as: – Open source; – Easy programming; – You can assemble your own board; – Is supported on various forums on the Internet; – Has several “shields” (facilitates the use of it

Description The WM8232 is a 16-bit analogue front end/digitiser IC which processes and digitises the analogue output signals from CCD sensors or Contact Image Sensors (CIS) at pixel sample rates of up to 35MSPS. The device has three analogue signal processing channels each of which contains Reset Level Clamping, Correlated Double Sampling (also Sample and

Part sourcing is one of the most important and challenging activities associated with the development of any hardware project. So, selecting the right one is a critical step in the success of any product. From finding the exact components at the desired quantity, to buying the components at a price that suits sales margins, getting

A new project will soon be launching via the Crowd Supply website in the form of the fully programmable, open source, ESP32 macropad, aptly named DeepDeck. The wireless programmable macropad features 16 mechanical buttons in a 4×4 grid together with two RGB rotary encoders, hot swappable keys and more. Connecting to a wide variety of different platforms using Bluetooth, DeepDeck supports Windows, MacOS,

I have multiple bioactive tropical vivariums for my crested geckos, and I always need to spray them morning and night, as well as when the humidity is too low (which happens multiple times per day), and I have to turn on and off the lights and monitor the temperature. I’ve made some small projects with

When [Robot Cantina] isn’t busy tweaking the 420cc Big Block engine in their Honda Insight, they’re probably working on some other completely far out automotive atrocity. In the video below the break, you’ll see them take the concept of a ‘lean burn’ system from the Insight and graft hack it into their 1997 Saturn coupe. What’s a lean burn

everything is boring without LEDs, so lets make a city out of it! Basic Idea: so we build a City mode out of cardboard, then illuminate it with a LOT of RGB LEDs and let the temperature of color change according to room temperature using LM35 Temperature sensor. Supplies 1. WS2812b RGB LEDs (neopixels). 2.

A new type of sensor being developed by a team of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley based on Plasmon laser technology is so sensitive it may be able to detect the presence of land mines in situ. In a paper published recently in the journal ‘Nature Nanotechnology’ a team of researchers led by
New Sensor could sniff out Land Mines Continue Reading
