Initially available in six sizes, the IP54 rated UL94-V0 flame-retardant ABS enclosure features an ergonomic design that fits comfortably into the hand, enabling it to be used for long period in applications such […]

Mandelbrot Set is IMHO the most famous fractal. Read here for additional info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set This project was inspired by https://hackaday.io/project/177884-mandelbrot-on-p… I reused most of the original code, but decided to implement it with 2.8″ ILI9341 SPI tft using Pico micropython driver from https://github.com/jeffmer/micropython-ili9341. This is my first project with Pi Pico and micropython. Step 1: Set Up… I assume […]

Flex Power Modules’ converters are first generation direct conversion products Flex Power Modules’ BMR481 DC/DC converter addresses the growing need for higher energy efficiency levels in datacenters and cloud computing infrastructures. This converter offers an input range of 40 V to 60 V targeting 48 V to 54 V nominal supplies and a programmable 0.5 V to 1.35 V output. The 12 mm […]

Hi, In this instructable, we’ll see how to use the Pyserial library in Python in order to make a serial connection via a COM Port (in our example COM3) and receive the temperature and humidity values from an MSP430 Microcontroller which is programmed to obtain data from a DHT11 sensor. In addition to this, we’ll […]

Researchers at Northern Illinois University and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, reported in the journal Nature on a potential breakthrough in the development of hybrid perovskite solar cells. Considered rising stars in the field of solar energy, perovskite solar cells convert light into electricity. They’re potentially cheaper and simpler to produce than […]

Access to medical devices is unequal across the globe, and the COVID-19 pandemic has underscored this fact. During the pandemic the global shortage of ventilators has been especially notable. Access to mechanical ventilation in Low and Middle Income Countries is inadequate. South Sudan, for example, possesses four ventilators in total. Across 84 healthcare facilities in […]

Printed circuit boards are an important part of electronic products and the ability to get them fabricated in time and at good quality and price, is key to ensuring the product stays on schedule with the time to market plans. The process of getting them done on time, and at the right quality, however, requires […]

A relative asked me if I could create something that automates refilling a water barrel used for watering a small garden greenhouse. They didn’t want to plug in a pump every few hours only to have turn it off again ten minutes later when it has filled up again. So I’ve scavenged some stuff that […]

Some time ago I presented the Electronic Quiz I made when I was a kid. It can be used to solve quiz sheets. The big drawback is, that each number is hard-wired to one letter so there are 26 fix combinations. Those are fast to memorise, even more so if you are a kid. So I came up […]
