Texas Instruments TMAG5124 Hall-Effect Switch Sensor is a high-precision Hall effect sensor that offers a 2-wire interface designed for industrial designs. The TMAG5124 integrates a current source that switches between two levels depending on the value of the magnetic field applied to the part. While the high value is fixed, the low value can be selected from two ranges. […]

We designed a power monitor that could communicate with the PIC32 through UART to give both power and current readings for any device(s) (that use NEMA plugs) plugged into our box. These readings are then accessible on a website interface, on a graph. We chose to do this project because of the growing issue of
Introduction In this project, we implemented a two-degree-of-freedom ball balancing platform using a resistive touchscreen, two servo motors, and PID control. We used a PIC32 microcontroller to read position data from the touchscreen and drive the servos, adjusting the platform’s angle. We tuned the system to balance a 1 inch diameter steel ball using a

Introduction TFTanks is a two player game in which small artillery tanks shoot projectile shells at each other across the TFT display screen. The game board consists of a randomly generated terrain landscape with sharp hills and valleys that players can destroy incrementally with their shells. The game is turn based, where players use sliders
A group of scientists at Columbia University and the University of Washington has found unique electronic states along with an uncommon kind of magnetism, can develop in a three-layer graphene structure. The work was inspired by current research studies of twisted monolayers or twisted bilayers of graphene, making up either 2 or 4 overall sheets. These results were discovered to treat

Introduction This report covers the design and building of a programmable alarm clock that uses a full spectrum LED to wake you up using your body’s natural response to sunlight. Rather than waking you up with an annoying alarm, a sunrise alarm clock slowly turns on a light in your room over the course of

Vishay Intertechnology introduced two new surface-mount Automotive Grade silicon PIN photodiodes in the compact 0805 case size with a low 0.7 mm profile — 0.15 mm lower than previous-generation devices. Offered in black packages, the opaque sidewalls of the Vishay Semiconductors VEMD4010X01 and VEMD4110X01 eliminate unwanted side illumination to increase their signal to noise ratio. The AEC-Q101 qualified photodiodes are optimized for
Did you ever make a project and wanted to output a sound that was more than just a beep? Or maybe you wanted to play a long song on repeat, such as an audio alert for when something is not working on a factory, or just to annoy your friends, your choice. An Audio Programmable Indicator

The Over-current limit load switch project presented here provides full protection to devices and loads from access load conditions. The default current limit is set to 1 Amp, however, this load limit is adjustable from 0.4A to 2A with the help of R4 ISET resistor. When an overload condition occurs circuit responds to that overload condition that lasts longer than
