Chrome Apps and serial port communication
Luca Dentella writes: During the development of my electronic projects, I sometimes need to develop a graphical user interface (GUI) that talks using serial communication with the devices I create. In the past, I usually chose to develop those interfaces in C# and using the .Net...

Dark Sensitive Lamp ON/OFF Controller
Dark Sensitive Lamp controller project switches a load connected to it when light falling on LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) goes bellow set point. It could be used as an automatic street light application. The project is based on Triac and doesn’t requires additional DC supply,...

How to do serial comms using the cheap RF 433/315 MHz modules
RomanBlack.com explains in details how to use 433/315Mhz modules for serial communication. These cheap RF modules usually come in a pair, with one transmitter and one receiver. A pair can be bought on ebay for as cheap as $4, and even as cheap as $2 a pair if you buy 10...

LM317 smooths but doesn’t regulate
Michael Dunn discuss about a circuit that smooths ripple and noise but doesn't regulates the output. A well known power supply circuit is the capacitance multiplier. It doesn't regulate, but instead reduces ripple & noise while the output tracks at some fraction of the input...

Eagle Tutorial – How to add a new package to a component
Save time by re-using existing packages and symbols . There are thousands of devices in the 'default' library that comes with EagleCAD but whaddyaknow, the exact package/device you need isn't always going to be one of those thousands. However, instead of making a brand new device...

Build an Arduino-Controlled AM/FM/SW Radio
by Raymond Genovese @ www.allaboutcircuits.com: The idea of a single chip radio is intriguing. The prospect is especially interesting to me because, frankly, I envy the analog skills I associate with building a radio receiver. When I browsed the circuit literature in the area, I came...
