This compact board will help you to drive 4 Wheel Drive Robots, each axis can handle a load current up to 3 Amps and supply 12V – 48 V DC. Board requires two PWM and Dir. signals for full 4WD operations, mainly differential steering for taking turns left or right or complete 360...

T A Babu @ edn.com has a design idea of a led controller with some nice features: The key features of this Design Idea are: Soft switch on/off operation Zero current drain in sleep mode Two level dimming Low battery protection Simple controller based on CMOS 4017...

Graham Prophet @ eedesignnewseurope.com discuss about two new MEMS accelerometers from Analog Devices: Analog Devices (ADI) has added two devices to its low noise, low drift, low power, three-axis MEMS accelerometers. The low noise performance over high frequencies provided by the...

Boris Landoni @ open-electronics.org documents his UV index detector. It measures solar radiation and visualizes the corresponding value on the integrated display of a miniaturized Arduino, in order to tell us when to expose ourselves to the sun… Open Source UV Index Detector -...

by Gheorghe Plasoianu @ edn.com Many applications require positive and negative supply voltages, with only one voltage requiring tight regulation. This Design Idea describes a dual-output, hybrid SEPIC-Ćuk converter whose positive output voltage can be lesser or greater than the...

Ken Shirriff has written an article on reverse engineering the 76477 “Space Invaders” sound effect chip: Remember the old video game Space Invaders? Some of its sound effects were provided by a chip called the 76477 Complex Sound Generation chip. While the sound effects1 produced...

by Graham Prophet @ eedesignnewseurope.com: Two versions of the PADS software package (by Mentor, now a Siemens business) have been made available through distributor Digi-Key. Positioned as design software for “the aspiring innovator” both the free and the $499 versions include...
