One of our visitors tipped us with his latest project, an Arduino RGB LED controller using low Rds-on MOSFETS, designed in Solo-PCB. This Arduino shield is designed to drive RGB (Red Green Blue) LED strips by using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) method. It can brighten up and down each...

In this video we are going to learn how to build our own voltmeter using a very inexpensive sensor. The voltage we measure is then displayed in a Nokia 5110 LCD display. This project is very easy to build and great learning experience. With this project we can measure the voltage of...

Fluke 279 FC True-rms Thermal Multimeter helps you find, repair, validate, and report many electrical issues quickly so that you are confident problems are solved. Fluke 279 FC Thermal Multimeter Review -...

The DC/DC inverting switching regulators project is specifically designed to invert input voltages to negative outputs. It offer input voltage ranges from 4.5V to 6V and output -12V 100mA The MC34063A IC is heart of the project from On semiconductor. The MC33063A is a monolithic...

LT8610AX is a 3.5A, 42V input-capable synchronous step-down switching regulator, which operates in ambient temperatures up to 175°C. Synchronous rectification delivers efficiency as high as 95% while Burst Mode operation keeps quiescent current under 3.5 µA in no-load standby...

Peter Demchenko @ edn.com This Design Idea circuit regulates the current through one or more LEDs, making it almost independent of supply voltage. Its main advantage is a very small dropout voltage, which can be less than 100mV. The design could find use on LED strips, where the...

educ8s.tv has a new video on how to use a fingertip sensor with Arduino. If you want to add biometric security features to your Arduino projects, an easy way to do so, is to add a fingerprint sensor module to it. In this video we demonstrate how easy to use a fingerprint sensor with...

Implementing pack-side battery gauges in portable devices is easier and more secure, Maxim asserts, with its ModelGauge m5 portfolio of MAX17201/MAX17205 and MAX17211/MAX17215. Fuel gauging can be difficult because battery voltage varies with temperature and load, while...
