Improved Arduino Rotary Encoder Reading
Here is a nice tutorial on how to use rotary encoders with Arduino. Example code is included. I wanted to use a low cost rotary encoder as an input mechanism for one of my upcoming projects and was initially bewildered by the code options available to take readings from the rotary...

Building a simple Circuit Probe
Vicente Jiménez has published a new project. It's a circuit probe that gives an indication when a node is floating or driven logic high or logic low and can also be used as a continuity tester. He writes: Sometimes you need to check one circuit and test some of its nodes. Usually a...

Current bending yields low-power magnetic memory
by Harry Baggen @ elektormagazine.com: Magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) is faster, more efficient and more robust than other data storage media. MRAM stores data by making clever use of electron spin – a sort of gyroscopic property of electrons. Because it used magnetism...
