Heart rate monitoring is a common procedure for most of health related projects. Therefore, producing sensors modules and circuit boards for such tasks will facilitate and push forward the development of new health-tech projects. Maxim Integrated, an analog and mixed-signal integrated...

The first step toward finding ways to reduce home electricity usage begins with installing an energy monitoring system. These days you can find an electric meter in every residence, but it is likely that you would find it installed in a location that is more convenient to access for a...

STMicroelectronics and HMicro have announced a single-chip product for disposable, clinical-grade wearable patches and biosensors, to replace wires for vital-sign monitors and electrocardiograms. The IC technology developed by HMicro and ST also targets other high-volume clinical and...

Arthur Pini @ edn.com published a guide on how to use FFT found in most modern oscilloscopes. The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) first appeared when microprocessors entered commercial design in the 1970s. Today almost every oscilloscope from high-priced laboratory models to the...

Dejan Nedelkovski build an Arduino-powered MP3 Music Player plus Alarm Clock. The player has a 3.2" TFT display and the home screen displays time, date and temperature along with touch control buttons. In this project I will show you how you can make an Arduino Touch Screen MP3...

Powering wearable technologies using thermoelectric generators (TEGs) is becoming more efficient. An undergraduate student in North Carolina University, Haywood Hunter, is producing a lightweight and an efficient wearable thermoelectric generator. It generates electricity by making use of...

The LTM2889 is a fully ISO 11898-2 compliant CAN (controller area network) μModule transceiver and isolator that guards against large ground-to-ground differentials and common mode transients in 3.3V or 5V applications. In practical CAN systems, ground potentials vary widely from...

Jeremy @ thecustomgeek.com updated his RGB LED controller with a bunch of improvements. The new RGBW LED Controller is here! The video above shows some of the things it can do, but here is a list of improvements: IRLB8721PBF MOSFET’s – More power! Double sided and thicker...
