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...

Conventional Flow vs Electron Flow Explained
"baldengineer" explains which way the current flows. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about four current flow direction myths. As a follow up to that popular post, I decided to dedicate this month’s AddOhms electronics tutorial video to Current Flow. In episode #19, I tackle the...

Inside the SDS7012 Oscilloscope: Mainboard Analysis
Christer Weinigel has been tinkering with an OWON SDS7012 o’scope, including deciphering the device’s OS and even disassembling the bootloader. Now it’s time to dive in and examine the mainboard, physically, with many of the board’s sub-circuits explained. via...
