Accurately simulate an LED
Jon Roman and Donald Schelle have a design idea on how to simulate a high power led to test your driver circuit. Testing the driver circuit using LEDs, although easy, yields only typical results because the tests don’t factor in worst-case LED parameters and often generate...

Adjustable HV Power Supply for Stompbox
This SMPS can be powered with low input voltage, from 5 VDC to 15 VDC and provided adjustable Output Voltage: + 92 Vdc to +340 Vdc. Can be used too, as power supply, for the Xenon Lamp, Nixie tube Clock, VFD display, Magic Eye, Neon, and too many others electronics circuits who need...

Send and Receive SMS with GSM SIM900 Arduino Shield
In this Instructable, you will learn how easy it is to send and receive SMS messages over GSM with Arduino. One of the essential elements of building IoT project is the ability to connect devices. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are good low cost choices, but they work only at close ranges, or...

How to Interface Stepper Motor With Arduino
This tutorial is going to teach you some basics on using Stepper Motor while interfacing with Arduino and Stepper Motor Driver. Bipolar Stepper Motor is DC motor that move in discrete steps. It has multiple coils that are organized in groups called "phases". By energizing each phase...

ESP8266 temperature logger
A ESP8266 temperature logger project from Facelesstech: I decided to use the esp-01 module because I only need 2 GPIO pins since I was using the DS18B20 temp sensor and the WS2812 LED. This made the hardware really cheap and easy to reproduce too. I normally use FTDI boards when it...

Iterated-map circuit creates chaos
Lars Keuninckx @ edn.com writes: The Design Idea circuit shown below is a simple implementation of an iterated unimodal map, reminiscent of the logistic or Verhulst map encountered in the study of nonlinear dynamics. It is useful to show chaotic discrete-time dynamics to students, or as...

Make Your Own Smartwatch From An Old Cell Phone
Have an old cell phone laying around? Don’t know what to do with it? What if I told you that you could turn that old cell phone into a smartwatch! What I’d like to do for this crazy/ambitions project is turn an old cell phone into a smartwatch. So obviously an old cell phone is...

New PIC32MM family consumes as little as 500 nA
by Clemens Valens @ elektormagazine.com: The new PIC32MM family, currently Microchip’s lowest power 32-bit PIC32 family, features sleep modes down to as little as 500 nA. Filling the gap between the PIC24F XLP and PIC32MX families, the new family also offers so-called core...
