DEMERBOX – Rugged Wireless Boomboxes
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
When I was 12, I built my first speaker out of a shoebox. It sounded terrible but I loved the process of building my own stuff. Flash forward to 2010 and my career as a location sound mixer. I needed a portable, yet very rugged battery powered speaker and I had no choice but to […]
SUN TRACKER’S WINGS
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
The giant (by radio control standards) servos above are shown adjacent to a Nokia 3310 mobile phone to give an idea of the scale. The arms are 12cm long – perfect for lifting a bank of solar panels (wing). Our local Model Aerodrome in Seaside Road, Eastbourne, supplied these beauties, taking the trouble to source […]
Guitar booster pedal (MPX-1)
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
Every guitar player desires it: The “perfect” sound! The components for it are: SOFT skill of the player mojo, soul, heart (name it the way you want, but essentially you can’t buy it -> You have to have it!) HARD the guitar (the wood, the strings,… -> The Hardware) for electric guitars: The amp/speaker unit […]
µGFX – embedded library for Displays and Touchscreens
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
µGFX is a library to interface all kinds of different displays and touchscreens to embedded devices. The main goal of the project is it to provide a set of feature rich tools like a complete GUI toolkit while keeping the system requirements at a minimum. µGFX can either be run on top of an operating […]
Direct 10 000V where ever you need
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
If you have an application, where you work with kilovolts and you need a suitable diode, we have a solution for you. It´s not a quite common thing, to find a diode with a reverse voltage of more than 1000V in your “home-drawer stock”. But you develop a device, requiring a diode with a substantially […]
Pimp My Rocket (Espresso Machine)
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
Combining Coffee and Electronics – An Idea for a Project Having played around with fixed function logic ICs, such as the Johnson counter used in the Spindicator project, I was keen to move on and experiment with programmable microcontrollers. I decided to obtain and play with some PICAXE chips, as they looked like they would provide an […]
Hard Drive Clock using PIC16F628
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
ave an old hard drive that no longer works? As long as it still spins up chances are you could build a clock out of your old hard drive! You will need some electronic knowledge, some common electronic components and a bit of patience. The clock that is produced isn’t exactly practical since most hard […]
Measure Capacitance with Arduino
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
This tutorial provides a guide on how to set up an Arduino to measure the capacitance of a capacitor. This can be useful if the capacitor is unlabeled or if it is self-built. Capacitance is an object’s ability to store an electric charge. Reasonably, this object is referred to as a capacitor. A capacitor that […]
News about Ibm Shows Working Devices Fabricated At 7nm Node
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
An alliance led by IBM Research, together with New York academic institution SUNY Polytech and with Samsung and GlobalFoundries, has produced 7nm (nanometer) node test chips with functioning transistors. Continuing semiconductor scaling down to feature sizes of 7 nm is expected to yield further gains in performance, and lower power levels, but in IBM’s words, […]
Marquardt 1841 – above standard classics
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
Pleasant actuation characteristics and reliable features of a push button switch Marquardt series 1840 make it attractive for all applications where you require control by a push. Classic push-button switches are favorite for many decades, maybe also because they´re well known already from the beginnings of electronics. Probably, a nostalgia is not the only reason […]
