The increased interest in IoT and electric automobiles around the world is driving an increase in the use of Lithium-Ion/Lithium-Polymer/NiCd/NiMH batteries as more devices and applications are using them, due to their high energy storage capacity to size ratio. This increased interest...

Shipping to strategic customers, the CH-201 MEMS-based ultrasonic Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor offers an extended sensing range of 5 metres. [via] This ToF sensor uses a tiny ultrasonic transducer chip that sends a pulse of ultrasound and then listens for echoes returning from targets...

After playing second (maybe third?) fiddle for a while to a range of maker-friendly boards from Arduino and others, STMicro finally got it right with the STM32F103C8T6 Arm Cortex-M3 microcontroller-based "BluePill" development board which can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. As all...

Introduction Such as for inductors, the electrical behavior of capacitors also depends on the nature of the source : DC or AC. We will see through this tutorial that in some way, the capacitor can be seen as the opposite of an inductor in terms of frequency functioning. Like for the...

Programmable, low-noise, three-channel power supplies that deliver up to 375W in a compact 2U high, half-rack-wide enclosure have been introduced by Tektronix. The Keithley Series 2230G is designed for maximum flexibility, accuracy, and low noise when testing high power, multi-voltage...

Introduction In the previous tutorial concerning AC resistance, we have seen that the behavior of a resistor is the same in DC or AC regime under normal frequencies. However, other basic electrical components such the inductor, strongly depends on the frequency of the AC signal. A...

A basic open-source multi-GHz sampling oscilloscope for experimenters on a budget. Still a work-in-progress, with key pieces on separate PCBs, but showing bandwidths in the 7-8 GHz range with >= 100 GSa/s equivalent-time sampling, and around 500 k comparisons/second real time. by Ted...

Over time we have built quite a number of data logger projects, but the emergence of more modern development boards, sensors and platforms mean there is an opportunity to add several new features to data-logging devices. For today's tutorial, we are going to build a datalogger based on...
