The main aim of this project is to come up with a functional WiFi switch that will help us operate via the “Blynk” app from the Mobile app store. This Instructable is successfully tested with very basic knowledge of Electronics and I would appreciate suggestions from professionals in the domain to comment for appropriate changes. […]

This 3D printed switch will allow the user to turn a Makey Makey into a “finger slide” for a “click” in gaming or could be right/left arrows to scroll through presentations. The addition of right and left terminal mounts for the ground wire makes it flexible to meet the hand dominance needs of the user. […]

The Debian based open-source Linux distribution Ubuntu finds its wide use across Desktop, Servers, Containers and now in IoT and cloud applications. Being very secure and its OpenStack support, it is further getting adapted widely in high end embedded computing applications as well. iWave systems rich i.MX8 System on Module and SBC product portfolio is supported with Yocto Linux, Android […]

Project Background: In 2015, I started a kickstarter project of a miniature 3D zoetrope DIY kit. The next year, I started the version 2 of said project by further simplifying the kit and reducing its manufacturing cost. Sadly, both crowdfunding failed, but this is how the 3D zoetrope looks. *Zoetrope: a 19th-century optical toy consisting of […]

Embedded Modules & Design-in Services Advantech, a global leader in the embedded computing market, is pleased to announce ROM-5720, a SMARC 2.0 module powered by the NXP ARM Cortex-A53 i.MX8M processor with excellent graphics performance and low power consumption. The ROM-5720 supports 4Kp60 resolution via HDMI 2.0 and 4Kp60 H.265 decoding with HDR. It features a […]

This project is a companion to my other Home Automation projects Smart Data- Logging Geyser Controller and Multi-purpose-Room-Lighting and Appliance Controller . It is a pool side mounted monitor that measures the pool water temperature, ambient air temperature and barometric pressure. It then displays the pool water temperature on a local LED bargraph and transmits via WiFi/MQTT to a […]

Kevin’s CircuitBrains boards are now listed and live on circuitpython.org/downloads. Kevin submitted the Deluxe model to Crowd Supply will have a project to support fabrication and fulfillment soon – Twitter. [via] CircuitBrains Basic CircuitPython on an ARM Cortex M0 in 1 square inch! This “Just Add Solder” castellated module is perfect for incorporating into your own project. The CircuitBrains Basic board footprint […]

Clock generator I recently build a pulse generator and it does its job well. It produces pulses of variable length and at several frequencies. But the number of frequencies it can produce is limited and for many jobs the length of a pulse is less important than its frequency. E.g. when you are testing a […]

Miniature Atomic Clock (MAC – SA5X) Rubidium Oscillator, re-designed for improved stability and new features. The MAC-SA5X is designed for applications that require long-term atomic oscillator stability, but are constrained by size and low power requirements. Versatile Microchip’s next-generation MAC-SA5X miniaturized rubidium atomic clock produces a stable time and frequency reference that maintains a high degree […]

Binary displays are very popular for clocks so it looked like there a gap waiting to be filled in the measurement area with an instrument that displayed its results in a Binary format. As result I decided that a DVM would be a suitable project to be given a Binary makeover. The Microbit has the […]
