educ8s.tv uploaded a new project on youtube. In this video we build a Wireless Weather Station using the fast and powerful 32bit Arduino Due board. We measure the temperature and the humidity with a couple of DHT22 sensors and we communicate with the remote sensor using the 2.4GHz...

Here is a countdown timer for UV exposure lamps @ cuteminds.com Here follows a simple count down timer useful for the production of pcbs using photoresist and UV lamps. We have used a pic 16F887 Microchip microcontroller; there are no particular reasons, we have simply used the...

This is a discrete Half-bridge driver based on IR2104 gate driver IC and low impedance high current N channel IRFP4368 MOSFETS. The IR2104 is a high voltage, high speed power MOSFET driver with independent high and low side referenced output channels. HVIC and latch immune CMOS...

by Jim Williams @ end.com The simplest model of a battery comprises an ideal voltage source that connects in series with a resistance whose value—often a few milliohms—depends on the battery's electrochemical condition and construction. If you attempt to use an ordinary ac...

16 Channel Infra-Red remote controller is based on PIC16F73 Microcontroller from Microchip. The receiver part follows RC5 (Philips) Code Format. Tiny receiver provides 16 latch outputs or 8 Latch + 8 Momentary outputs by closing Jumper J1. All outputs are TTL and can drive Relay board...

Robert Fotino has design a video game system on a FPGA. He writes: For my latest project, I am diving back into Verilog to create the hardware side of Consolite. For those who don't know, Consolite is the name I've given to my design of a tiny hobbyist game console and associated...

Aaron Brady writes: We popped open the case, and there were two main ICs, a Prolific 2303 (the USB to Serial IC) and a ADM3251E (the RS232 line level convertor). I tried to desolder this with no success, but Bas stepped in, cut the leads with a craft knife and ran the iron over the...

In this video we are going to learn how to make sound with Arduino. We are going to build a simple Micro Piano in order to demonstrate the capabilities of the tone function. Let's start! Playing back sound is great for adding audio feedback to our projects. So far we were using...
