The M100PFS is based on the PolarFire SoC FPGA architecture by Microchip and combines high-performance 64-bit RISC-V cores with outstanding FPGA technology. The platform integrates a hardened real-time, Linux capable, RISC-V-based MPU subsystem on the mid-range PolarFire FPGA family, bringing low power consumption, thermal efficiency and defence grade security to embedded systems. The RISC-V CPU micro-architecture implementation […]

Before I continue my serie of MU vision sensor instructables for the Micro:bit, I need to make this instructable for the Kitronik Zip Tile, since I am going to use it. The Kitronik Zip Tile, I will just call it Zip from now on, is an 8×8 neopixel matrix, that can be run fairly easy […]

What is a capacitor? A device that stores electrical charge which in its basic form consists of two conducting plates separated by a dielectric. In addition to the basic parallel plate several other forms of construction exist an example being that the plates in the form of a metal foil allow the capacitor to be […]

This reflective sensor module is a high-performance 0-5 cm active proximity detector. The sensor can provide a range up to 50cm with higher current infra-red LED and current limit resistor R2, R4 used across IR LED. Because the sensor operates on an absolute reflectance threshold principle, it avoids the ambiguity of motion-based proximity systems. The Si1102 consists […]

In this Instructable I will show you how to make your own version of a BBQ tool that measures the current temperature in your barbecue and turns on a fan to light it up if needed. Additional to this there is also a meat core temperature sensor attached, and this all is (in my case) […]

Texas Instruments’ 24-bit, 32 kSPS ADC is optimized for cost-sensitive applications that require simultaneous sampling Texas Instruments’ ADS131M08 8-channel, simultaneously-sampling, 24-bit ΔΣ ADC offers wide dynamic range, low power, and energy-measurement-specific features. These features make the device ideal for energy metering, power metrology, and circuit breaker applications. The ADC inputs can be directly interfaced with a resistor-divider […]

Last time I shared how to make a Mini DSO with MCU. To know how to built it step by step, please refer to my previous instructable: https://www.instructables.com/id/Make-Your-Own-Osc… Since many people are interested in this project, I spent some time upgrading it overall. After upgrading, the Mini DSO is more powerful. Specification: MCU: STC8A8K64S4A12 @27MHz Get […]

The EVLSTCH03-45WPD 45W USB Type-C® Power Delivery 3.0 adapter from STMicroelectronics is a USB-IF certified solution and reference design. The EVLSTCH03-45WPD is an isolated ac-dc power supply with a standalone USB PD controller. The board implements at the primary side a quasi-resonant flyback converter based on the STCH03 controller with optocoupler feedback for voltage regulation. This controller combines a high-performance low-voltage […]

In myteenage years, about 40 years ago, I created a dual linear power supply. I got the schematic diagram from a magazine called ‘Elektuur’, nowadays called ‘Elektor’ in The Netherlands. This power supply used one potentiometer for the voltage adjustment and one for the current adjustment. After many years these potentiometers did not function correctly […]

Description This project is a development of our ESP32-CAM Video Surveillance Robot project. Eventually we got a video surveillance pan & tilt camera that can be controlled with an iPhone through Internet Step 1: Parts List: ESP32-CAM x1 FT232RL FTDI Mini USB x1 – for uploading a code to the ESP32-CAM 18650 Battery Holder x1 […]
