GPS tracking with an MSP430F5510 over GPRS
Bluehash over at 43oh.com writes: I found a tiny gem while browsing Github for MSP430 projects. This one is a GPS tracker based on a MSP430F5510 with a GPRS cellular connection for reporting and command input. The GPS is a FGPMMOPA6H from GlobalTop and the GPRS module is a SIM900...

Roshamglo Badge, The Rock-Paper-Scissors kit by SparkFun
The SparkFun Roshamglo is the new and fun way to play Rock-Paper-Scissors with your friends! The board uses the ATtiny84, and has an IR LED and receiver to communicate between badges. To play, simply point the USB connector at your opponents Roshamglo up to 5 feet away and press the 5-way...

Snapmaker, The Modular & Multi-Functional 3D Printer
Snapmaker is a Kickstarter project with a lofty goal: to be the holy trinity for at-home makers by using detachable modules to convert between a 3D printer, a CNC carver, and a laser engraver. In retrospect, the idea seems almost obvious. All three devices need three-axis motors to work:...

ICP12 USBSTICK, A New Tool for Signals Control & Monitoring
iCircuit Technologies had produced the iCP12 usbStick, a mini size 28 pin USB PIC IO development board and a good tool for signal monitoring (as oscilloscope), data acquisition and circuit troubleshooting at 1mSec/Samples period. The iCP12 usbStick is a PIC18F2550 based USB...

ReRAM, Process Data Where They Are Stored
Because data storage and processor are separated from each other, moving data between the storage and the computation unit became a main factor in computing. Many techniques were developed to speed up this process, such as pipelining, caching, and look-ahead execution, but “ReRAM”...

5V to 12V @400mA Boost Converter
The circuit presented here is about a boost converter based on LM2698. It is a PWM boost converter from Texas instruments. LM2698 can also be used as a flyback converter. The current mode architecture is a special feature of LM2698, which provides superior line and load regulation. This...

Amplifier requires no dc bias
john guy @ edn.com writes: Intrinsically capacitive transducers and other high-impedance signal sources usually require ac coupling and a buffer amplifier to condition the signal for further processing. Buffers take many forms, but most of them compromise signal quality through the...
