The SparkFun Battery Babysitter is an all-in-one single-cell Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery manager. It’s half battery charger, half battery monitor, and all you’ll ever need to keep your battery-powered project running safely and extensively. The Battery Babysitter features a...

by aniansh @ instructables.com: Have you ever felt like creating one of those city street time lapses that you see on the internet or recording the blooming of a flower through a time lapse or maybe create a night sky panorama of the milky way drifting in the background? Well, now...

"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...

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...

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...
