They’re ‘Not’ JUST Capacitors
James Lewis from Kemet has made a presentation to address some of misconceptions about capacitors like how you should de-rate capacitors. James said that de-rating depends on the chemistry and configuration of a particularly capacitor. So he started by asking a question: Should...

Temperature controlled Fan
Ahmad Al-Shalabi and Bassma Karbouj show us how to control a DC fan using easy to find components. The fan works when temperature reach into pre-specified threshold. The purpose of this project is creating a cooling system by controlling in a DC fan in a simple way without using...

Inverter crystal oscillator
Vasily Ivanenko build some discrete chip oscillators with 74HC series logic gates and tests them on his oscilloscope. He writes: In numerous RF synthesizer chips lies an inverter with input and output pins for making a reference crystal oscillator clock. I built some discrete chip...

A 1.99$ Wifi Module from ITEAD Based on ESP8285 the Killer of ESP8266
Espressif announced ESP8285 a Wi-Fi chip for wearable devices on May,2016. Some described this chip as the killer of ESP8266, that is because ESP8285 includes an embedded 1 MByte flash memory. This means smaller area in PCB is needed to include your Wifi chip while the old ESP8266 needed...

Two books for makers that you should read!
educ8s.tv uploaded the last video of this season and it's a different one! The first one, is this: Practical Electronics for Inventors. Since I studied computer science and not electronics engineering at University, I needed to find a good book to study electronics myself. After a...
