Automatic LED Stairway Lighting – Arduino Compatible
This creative idea is suitable for a stairway with 16 stairs, each stair can have a 12V LED. It has two sensors one at the start and one at the end of the stairs and when the sensor trigered at any end it starts a process of lighting each of the steps in a progressive cycle starts....

This is an original design of a GPS tracker designed on Elab and it is intended to be used as a security device for beehives, but it is not limited to this. It can be used everywhere a motion-activated GPS tracker is needed, like your car, bike, or even your boat. It is a GPS tracker...
Continue Reading3 Phase Isolated Hall-effect Current Sense Amplifier with +/-600V Working Voltage and +/-46A Measurement Range
The project described here is a 3-Phase isolated Hall-effect current sense amplifier with +/-600-V working voltage range. The current sensor senses magnetic flux generated from current passing through the lead frame at common-mode voltages 0 to 600V DC and provides proportional output...
Continue ReadingMultiphase Oscillator with 40% Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation and 250Khz Output Frequency
This is a precision, low power, and easy-to-use oscillator that provides multiphase outputs. The output frequency of the project is set to 250Khz, with 40% spread spectrum. The oscillator frequency can be set by resistor R1, and the spread spectrum can be changed using R3. The master...
