About this project OVERVIEW If you’ve done electronics prototyping, you’ve worked with a breadboard. Getting your wires or components to fit can be quite the hassle. Trying to decipher a mess like this is even more nasty. There’s no more need to buy pre-cut wires or to guesstimate while cutting jumper wires. The OHMkara tool […]

Using a highly-integrated microcontroller running “StickOS BASIC”, it is possible to quickly build a toaster oven temperature profile controller for performing surface mount (SMT) printed circuit board reflow soldering at home. Continuing with the first article, the schematic and configuration for the Toaster Oven Temperature Profile are presented. 1. Schematic and configuration The schematic

Since it was one of the first things I ever built, I decided to put it in an enclosure of its own and consider it too as a finished product. The problem was that the prototype never ran properly. It worked, just not as well as it should. Needless to say, I tried to fix

This is an inexpensive component tester called the FISH 8840 which you can find from many online eBay retailers for around $30. The interface is very simple, attach a device to be tested and press the test button. It turns off after about 20 seconds, pressing the off button puts it into sleep mode immediately.

When designing circuits, many hobbyists take capacitors for granted – but each type (ceramic multi-layer, aluminum electrolytic, tantalum, mica…) has its own unique properties. Nowadays, ceramic capacitors are the most commonly used capacitors in the industry, but many can lose up to 80% of their rated capacitance near their voltage ratings. Enter the OpenCVMeter! This

It’s been a while since I posted a new article, a delay at least partly due to me herniating a disc in my neck which left me completely unable to look downwards for any length of time and as you’ll know all too well you can’t work on circuit boards without peering down at them.
