In a home recording environment equipment often doesnāt come in a large variety because of either limited budget or limited spaceā¦ or both. I am presenting here an balanced attenuator which comes in between fixed gain preamp and recording device/soundcard. The purpose of this device is to adjust the level and monitor it to prevent

In February of 2007 I spent a little while prototyping a board that turns any bicycle wheel into a moving display billboard using a single string of LEDs. The idea was to do something that would be very visible, turn itself on and off automatically, have enough processing power to dynamically generate bike computer style

Always at the right time your house on temperature This project make use of a PIC16F648(A) and a DCF77 receiver from Conrad (Orderno.Ā 64Ā 11Ā 38) With DCF77 runs the clock from the thermostat always on the right time. Synchronizing isn’t necessary anymore. The temperaturesensor is a DS1820 or DS18B20 and on a HD44780 (or compatible) 2×16 LC-Display
