Peter van der Walt @ OpenHardware.co.za has published his newest machine design – an open source pick and place machine. Open Source Pick and Place Machine -...

Near Field RF probes can be very helpful when tracking down sources of unwanted RF emissions or radiation. This video presents the basics of the E-Field and H-Field probes, how they work, and how to use them. Basics of Near Field RF Probes -...

Engineers at the University of California are focusing on measuring Sodium, Potassium, Glucose, Lactate in an attempt to measure an individual’s health. The team have developed a prototype that comprises a flexible printed circuit board holding five sensors. A new device is able...

Craig document his process of building a Better RTL-SDR TCXO with +-1ppm stability over 0C-55C range. Its hard to beat the cost and versatility of the ubiquitous RTL-SDR dongles, but the temperature stability of their reference oscillators isn’t sufficient for some applications....

Ken Boak discuss how to build a graphic user interface using cheap TFT toughscreen displays. This article is about using their lowcost graphics co-processor IC to provide a neat user interface for any low-end microcontroller. These days, when you can buy a 7" tablet for $50, there...

Maurizio show us how to generate an analog voltage using a microcontroller and some resistors. The purpose of this article is how to generate analog voltage with digital circuit. Although the market provides today a very broad range of dedicated digital-to-analogue converters,...

In this video educ8s.tv show us how to make Arduino power off itself with the help of a simple circuit! If you have watched some of my previous videos you will know that I like my projects to have minimal power consumption so that we can use them with batteries for a long period of...

  Christer wanted to see how a 500MHz differential clock was behaving so he decided to build an active probe. To simulate the circuit he used TINA spice software and documented the process in three parts on his website. What I really wanted was an active differential probe...
