1. Quite a few POV clocks out there, why is this special? Well, mainly because it’s mine. There are quite a few POV clocks out there on the web using all sorts of display mechanisms, chassis, controllers. The one I decided to build isn’t exactly one of them, the main difference being in the way […]

RC Snubber Calculator Spreadsheet In power switching applications, a designer often has to contend with spurious oscillations. These are the result of parasitic capacitance and inductance on the board and behave like the step response of an RLC circuit. These transients can induced undesired noise in neighboring circuits and create over voltage spikes that can […]

IRK! Infrared Remote Controlled USB Keyboard Without Keys IRK! is a USB keyboard, without keys, that you can operate just by using your LEARNINGinfrared remote control.I created it to allow me to control my MythTV home theater PC with my LEARNING infrared remote control instead of having to use a real USB keyboard – but it […]

This instructable is meant to be a quick tutorial on installing LabVIEW, and hooking it up to a chipKIT. Documentation on how to do this already exists at LabVIEW Hacker.com. This instructable links to the information presented in the source, and puts it in instructable format with some additional commentary. It is up to you […]

This in-depth guide will go over the steps required to connect the chipKIT WF32 to LabVIEW using LabVIEW MakerHub LINX. LINX is used to interact with common embedded platforms like Arduino, chipKIT and myRIO. Digilent sells a bundle that includes the chipKIT WF32 and LabVIEW HomeBundle called the LabVIEW Physical Computing Kit. Feel free to […]

  chipKIT boards typically have far more memory and computing power than many Arduino boards, and as a result, they are so much better at manipulating data. On the other side, the Arduino IDE is easy to use and understand. So what if we could interchange the Arduino board with the chipKIT while still programming […]

For those of you with a chipKIT board, I have good news! If you like using the Arduino IDE instead of MPIDE, your dreams have become a reality with chipKIT-core (currently in beta). You can now program all of the chipKIT boards directly from within the Arduino IDE and the most-used libraries included with the […]

Product Description RFMD’s RFSA3013 is a fully monolithic analog voltage controlled attenuator (VCA) featuring exceptional linearity over a minimum temperature compensated 30dB gain control range. It incorporates a revolutionary new circuit architecture to solve a long standing industry problem: high IP3, high attenuation range, low DC current, broad bandwidth and temperature compensated linear in dB […]

This is my attempt at designing and building an obstacle avoiding robot! RekaBot (named after a fairy (: ) can detect obstacles with an ultrasonic sensor that can move around with help from a servo. Based on the measurements she takes, the tracks are driven towards the direction with the biggest distance – avoiding obstacles. […]

The current memory landscape spans from venerable DRAM to hard disk drives to ubiquitous flash. But in the last several years PCM has attracted the industry’s attention as a potential universal memory technology based on its combination of read/write speed, endurance, non-volatility and density. For example, PCM doesn’t lose data when powered off, unlike DRAM, […]
