Dark Sensitive Switch – LED Light
Dark activated LED light is a simple project which operates a LED when the light falling on the LDR goes below a set point. The circuit is built using LM393 comparator, LDR as light sensor, preset (potentiometer) for sensitivity adjustment, transistor to drive the LED. The project...

How to Scroll a single LCD line – Arduino
R Jordan Kreindler show us how to scroll a single line on a LCD display. The Liquid Crystal Library has two quite useful functions scrollDisplayLeft() and scrollDisplayRight(). These functions scroll the whole display. That is, they scroll both lines on a 1602 LCD and all four...

Fuel-gauge ICs help prevent battery clones
Maxim’s family of ModelGauge m5 standalone fuel gauges provides SHA-256 authentication with a 160-bit secret key to make it harder to clone battery packs. The ICs also implement the ModelGauge m5 algorithm, which converts raw measurements of battery voltage, current, and temperature...

Inside the tiny RFID chip that runs San Francisco’s race
Ken Shirriff teardowns an RFID chip used to track the time each runner took to run the race. At the beginning and end of the race, the runners cross special mats that contain antennas and broadcast ultra high frequency radio signals. The runner's RFID chip detects this signal and...
