This reference design features the 8T49NS010 integrated circuit that functions as a clock synthesizer with a built-in fanout buffer and divider. By using an external clock source or a crystal, the 8T49NS010 can generate high performance timing geared towards the communications and...

by FABLAB Dhahran @ instructables.com: In this project we will design and program a smart garden watering system. This system will use Arduino UNO and a moisture sensor to measure the volumetric water content in soil. It will also have a light (photocell) sensor to detect when the...

Industruino is a fully featured Arduino Leonardo compatible board housed in a DIN-rail mountable case + prototyping area + onboard LCD + membrane panel. With this product you will be able to permanently install your Arduino application in no-time. Whether you use it for automation...

Steve Rodgers writes: Here’s my latest project. Its an AC energy metering board using an Atmel 90E24 energy metering chip. The board can either take an ESP8266-12 and run a native C application, or the ESP8266-12 can be omitted, and an external microcontroller can be used to talk...

In this article Vassilis K. Papanikolaou explains how SMD prototyping practice can be used in learning environments using simple and wide available tools and equipment: A feasibility study is herein attempted, towards the adaptation of modern surface-mount device (SMD) prototyping...

The circuit in this reference design features the capability of MC34VR500V1ES to supply multiple DC voltage outputs. This device is designed to support the LS1/T1 family of communication processors, which require efficient and precise level of voltage supplies. With its four switching...

MiniWear - DIY Miniature And Wearable Modules That Can Be Worn Anywhere On The Body. James Cannan writes: We love electronics, especially Wearables, and that is why we have made super cool modules that include heart rate detection, movement, non contact temperature sensing, and...

by Gyula Dioszegi @ edn.com: In 1971, Signetics—later Philips—introduced the NE555 timer, and manufacturers are still producing more than 1 billion of them a year. By adding a few components to the NE555, you can build a simple voltage-to-frequency converter for less than 50...
