TallMan's lab @ runawaybrainz.blogspot.com build a nice looking and simple analog ESR capacitor meter based on a EEVBlog forum topic. I finally got round to making my capacitor ESR tester this week after finding a nice simple 5 transistor version by EEVBlog member Jay_Diddy_B....

MikroElektronika, the microcontroller development boards and accessory boards manufacturer, introduced a new development board for beginners and non-experts called Flip & Click. Flip & Click is a rapid prototyping tool that is an Arduino Due on one side, and four mikroBUS™...

Biosensors for consumer wearable devices is a new trend as it facilitates multiplexed physiological monitoring for quantitative assessment of body functions. Highly functional wearable biosensors that can also provide meaningful diagnostics to guide therapeutics would be extremely...

Switching technology devices and integrated circuits are growing fast providing solutions that obtain power for different kind of circuits and devices, and they are proposed in different variations. A useful little known kind which is suitable for mixed supply systems is called...

Radioactive particles are found abundantly in nature. Whether they come from space or generated on Earth (radioactive waste, medical X-rays, etc), they are high-energy particles resulting from radioactive decays. The three major types of radioactive particles are named after the first...

Rupert Hirst build a tiny OLED PC performance monitor based on Psyrax's serial monitor. The display monitors CPU and GPU temperature and activity etc. He writes: After a recent purchase of a Nvidia GTX1080 graphics card, 4k monitor plus Doom(2016), I thought it would be great to see...

dannyelectronics.wordpress.com discuss about how to build a mcu based LED vu meter and provides sample code. From time to time, I see people trying to build an audio VU meter. In the analog era, that’s typically done with a voltage divider + a series of comparators; or using chips...

The versatile Bar-Graph SMD components based R/C monitor & R/C switch is a great tool for R/C hobbyist R/C modeller and DIY robotics. Tiny Bar-Graph displays provide a Red color bright, easy to read display of Radio Control (R/C) signal from 1mS to 2mS. The Barograph RC Signal...
