Circuit lets you test capacitors

Circuit lets you test capacitors

Electrolytic capacitors tend to leak with time. The circuit in Figure 1 lets you test capacitors and decide whether they’re worth using. You can set the constraint on the leakiness through the values of CREF/RREF. The values in the figure are typical for general testing of all capacitors, from 1-nF ceramic versions to 1000-μF electrolytic

Creating an OTP fob compatible with Google Authenticator using an Espruino Pico

This code is basically just from three sources, merged together with a few tiny tweaks by me. jsSHA, a JavaScript implementation of SHA/HMAC Generate Time-Based One-Time Passwords With JavaScript Espruino HID Example (Note I’ve just discovered that Espruino has its own hmac implementation so I can possibly drop jsSHA) The main thing you need for

Gamma photon radiation detector

Gamma-photon radiation detector

Abstract: A PIN photodiode, four low-noise op amps and a comparator are used to detect individual photons of gamma radiation. The schematic, design considerations and component selection are discussed. The circuit of Figure 1 includes a PIN photodiode that detects individual photons of gamma radiation. When a photon strikes a depletion region created by reverse bias
