In this instructable we’re going to build and program an awesome fortune cookie teller, using the Particle Photon connected to thethings.iO via mqtt and to Twitter via api requests. Desired functionality: – Each time the button (connected to the Photon) is pressed, this will publish a message to thethings.iO via mqtt – From thethings.iO, a trigger is […]

FiDUS Power is pleased to announce the addition of the exciting convection cooled, high efficiency, SUF350 AC-DC open frame power supply. With the SUF350, system designers can utilize 250W of output power from the dense 3 x 5” package without the need for fan cooling. Where fan cooling is acceptable, the full 350W potential of the SUF350 can […]

Renesas Electronics Corporation, a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, announced five new 8.2mm creepage photocouplers that are the world’s smallest isolation devices for industrial automation equipment and solar inverters. With a package width of 2.5mm, the RV1S92xxA and RV1S22xxA photocouplers reduce PCB mounting area by 35 percent compared to competitive couplers. They help designers […]

How to make a shark puppet with blinking LED lights for its eyes! The two LED lights are going to turn on when the shark’s mouth is closed the first time, after the first time the lights come on, the LEDs are going to blink when the mouth is closed. Step 1: Preparation Things you […]

FiDUS Power, the technical power supply distributor specializing in innovative solutions and new products that benefit system designers as they seek to differentiate their end products, sets a new bar for the size of external power supplies with the launch of the new model GDA200. The use of Gallium Nitride (GaN) rather than silicon semi-conductor […]

Recently, I have been designing some SMPS and required some hardware to measure the actual loop response of the complete converters. People familiar with this area will probably know this can be done breaking the feedback loop of the converter and injecting a small AC signal and measuring the loop response at the output of […]

First, you need to know that a lightstrip is a bunch of LEDs daisychained together. The three contacts are +5v, GND and DI (data in, AKA DIN). If you are using the same lightstrip, you can solder just 3 wires… Now on to building Step 1: Tinning Your Contacts Before soldering anything, you need to […]

Axiomtek – a world-renowned leader relentlessly devoted in the research, development and manufacture of series of innovative and reliable industrial computer products of high efficiency – is proud to launch the Agent336, its new RISC-based fanless embedded box PC certified with E-Mark for a variety of in-vehicle applications. The Agent336 measures only 164 x 118 x 44 […]

Texas Instrument’s USB Dedicated Charging Port Controller TPS2514 is specifically designed to implement the charging schemas mentioned below. An auto-detect feature monitors USB data line voltage and automatically provides the correct electrical signatures on D+ and D– data lines. Note that the chip datasheet never mentioned Samsung or Apple in particular apparently due to the copyright issues. […]

MYIR introduces a high-performance and cost-effective ARM SoM MYC-C8MMX CPU Module powered by i.MX 8M Mini which is NXP’s first embedded multi-core heterogeneous applications processors built using advanced 14LPC FinFET process technology. The processor on this module features up to 1.8GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 plus 400MHz Cortex-M4 processor. The module runs Linux, Android OS and is capable of working in […]
