For those are not into electronics, you must know that an oscilloscope has basically only one timebase to move the spot horizontally from left to right with the same intensity. The vertical deviation is function to the input voltage. You understand immediately that you can’t directly display 7 segment digits, because you can’t move the […]
Background My friend Arthur, in his lifelong quest for circuits that don’t really do anything useful, but are really neat nonetheless, built a really neat Lissajous pattern generator. This Lissajous pattern is not your traditional circle, oval, or figure-8, it is a circle with varying amplitude, in a pattern that makes it look like a […]
I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about op amps and comparators lately. One of the common uses of an op amp is as a “unity gain” buffer, meaning that the output voltage is as close as possible to being the same as the input voltage. At a glance this might seem like a […]
Capacitance Probe A simple probe can be made using insulated wire. The insulation is then the dielectric of an cylindrical capacitor with the inner conductor as one plate and the water as the other. The probe is not suitable for distilled or very pure water because it is not conductive enough. It works well even […]
Mork is adaptation of Nanu nanu Microchip PIC ICSP for the STM32 based vcc-gnd or Maple mini. Both STM32 boards are inexpensive boards which don’t cost much more than the Nano 3.0 yet they are far more powerful. One complication though for the vcc-gnd, is that it comes with a serial boot loader which is […]
The BOLT microcontroller board utilizes the Microchip 18F2550 with built in USB capabilities. Utilizing a 2k ‘boot loader’ this leaves a great deal of flash RAM for C programming using MPLAB and the C18 compiler. The BOLT board comes in two versions. LITE which has the 18F2550, 8 LEDs for PORTB, four switches and a […]
The good and high precision capacitor meter (Capacimeter) inductor meter (inductimeter) auto range lc meter for pic 16f84 or pic 16f628 and display lcd by phill rice Construction of an apparel that allows measure inductors (Inductimeter) and capacitors (Capacimeter), knower like LC meter, using PIC (16f84 or 16f628) and display marries in LCD. Translated of […]
I had a few multicolor LEDs laying around and wanted to whip up a color-blending nightlight. I built 2 devices, each in its own 20 pin DIP socket without soldering. A 3-pin header is included so I can reprogram the light on-the-fly if desired. On my first build, I used wire-wrap. The next one used […]
The 230 V, 50 Hz is step downed using voltage transformer and current transformer is used to extract the waveforms of current. The output of the voltage transformer is proportional to the voltage across the load and output of current transformer is proportional to the currentG‚throughG‚the load. These waveforms are fed to Voltage Comparators const […]
[Kay Choe] can’t play the piano. Rather, he couldn’t, until he converted his keyboard to include LED-guided instruction. [Kay] is a microbial engineering graduate student, and the last thing a grad student can afford is private music lessons. With $70 in components and a cell phone, however, he may have found a temporary alternative. The […]
