Tiny AVR Microcontroller Runs on a Fruit Battery
Posted on: 05 Mar 2023
Some of the fruit and vegetables we eat can be used to make electricity. The electrolytes in many fruit and vegetables, together with electrodes made of various metals can be used to make primary cells. One of the most easily available vegetable, the ubiquitous lemon can be used to make a fruit cell together with […]
Simple circuit lets you characterize JFETs
Posted on: 04 Mar 2023
When working with discrete JFETs, designers may need to accommodate a large variation in device parameters for a given transistor type. A square-law equation is usually used as an approximate model for the drain-current characteristic of the JFET: ID=β(VGS−VP)2, where ID is the drain current, VGS is the gate-to-source voltage, β is the transconductance parameter, […]
Avoid these common aluminum electrolytic capacitor pitfalls
Posted on: 04 Mar 2023
Aluminum Capacitor Pitfalls Aluminum electrolytic capacitors remain a popular choice in power supplies due to their low cost. However, they have limited life and are sensitive to both hot and cold temperature extremes. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are constructed with foils placed on opposite sides of paper saturated with an electrolyte. This electrolyte evaporates over the […]

Wireless servo controller II
Posted on: 02 Mar 2023
We described simple method, how to drive modellers servo. Today, we are going to try to drive this servo from potentiometer connected to TR module ADC. It is reaction to forum thread where is discussion about airplane model control possibility. We are going to use redesigned ADC usage example (sensor module source code) in this […]
3D TouchPad from Microchip
Posted on: 01 Mar 2023
Microchip Technology have announced a computer peripheral 6” touchpad which it claims is the first able to resolve 2D multi-touch and free-space 3D gestures. To detect gestures up to a distance of 70 mm from the pad surface Microchip have used their MGC3130 single-chip gesture recognition and motion tracking controller released in 2012. It works on […]
16-Bit I2C-Bus LED Dimmer
Posted on: 01 Mar 2023
16-Bit I2C-Bus LED Dimmer This project is devised for LED dimming using NXP Semiconductors’ PCA9532 16-Bit I2C-Bus LED dimmer. A lot of solid-state lighting applications require control over the emitted intensity of light for both functional and aesthetic requirements. Some of these applications also require a full dimming capability from fully ON to fully OFF. […]
Interfacing DC Motor with PIC Microcontroller using L293D
Posted on: 28 Feb 2023
DC Motor and L293D We can’t drive a DC Motor (depends) directly with a Microcontroller, as DC Motors requires high current and high voltage than a Microcontroller can handle. Microcontrollers usually operates at +5 or +3.3V supply and it I/O pin can provide only up to 25mA current. Commonly used DC Motors requires 12V supply […]
