asheville makers @ instructables.com has posted a Wifi enabled thermostat that can be programmed via a touch screen display or via the internet. This Instructable explains about how I built WiFi enabled thermostats for my home. The thermostats are programmable with 6 different time...
Continue Reading4A Bipolar Stepper Motor Driver Based on LV8727E
The Project is based on LV8727E IC from ON Semiconductor. The LV8727 is a PWM current-controlled micro step bipolar stepping motor driver. This driver can provide eight ways of micro step resolution of 1/2, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/128, 1/10, 1/20, and can drive simply by the step...
