Rex Niven @  edn.com has a design idea on how to drive a character LCD using only one wire. This hardware interface Design Idea reduces the connection to just one wire, allowing a basic microcontroller with limited I/O to drive a large display, either directly, through a standard...

Kionix (Ithaca, New York), part of the Rohm Group, has added the KXTJ3 3-axis low-cost accelerometer that offers the performance of a more expensive accelerometer in a 2 x 2 x 0.9 mm form factor. By Graham Prophet @ eedesignnewseurope.com The company presents the device as a high...

Arrow Electronics has introduced a new FPGA IoT Maker Board designed for end-to-end application development and optimised for cost. The Arrow MAX1000 board can be installed directly into a custom application or integrated on to a completely separate board. It has been...

Afroman reviews Siglent's SSA3000X series spectrum analyzer and all the options. There is some RF information for beginners and usage experiments are also performed. Siglent SSA3032X Spectrum Analyzer Review & Experiments -...

iCircuit Technologies had produced the iCP12A DAQduino, an Arduino-like development board for signals monitoring, data acquisition and circuit troubleshooting at 1mSec/Samples period. The DAQduino board features a PIC18F2550 microcontroller with 14 digital I/O pins, two of them are...

Our 'common sense' would say that when an object moves from point A to point B it necessarily has to also move through all the points between A and B. This is, however, not true for electrons in the quantum world, where these intuitive truths are not valid. Electrons can, for...

The circuit diagram presented here is about a negative voltage regulator. It is based on LT1054, which is a switched capacitor voltage converter with regulator from Texas instrument. This device has many advantages over other previously available switched capacitor voltage converters....

Open Panzer Project is an attempt to create open source versions of all electronics used in RC tanks today, with professional quality and features. The goal of this project is to expand the hoppy and to improve everyone's experience of RC tanking corner, which will speed-up its...
