The Wii’s Interface and Specs If you look at the controllers for the Xbox 360, the Playstation 3 and the GameCube, you’ll notice that they’re nearly identical. You hold them in two hands and use your thumbs to control the in-game action with buttons, D-pads and joysticks. Your index fingers pull triggers that shoot guns […]

Graphic programming environment 4D ViSi-Genie enables an unbelievably simple programming without necessity to write a single line of code! 4D ViSi-Genie is a part of the Workshp4 IDE software package, intended for intelligent graphic displays from company 4D Systems. When we mentioned in the article “Focus at the main subject – application itself and the 4D ViSi […]

A special circuit is needed when charging a battery from a Solar Panel. When the solar panel is not providing any power the battery might start draining current into the panel. One common solution is to have a diode in series with the charging circuit to keep the current from going back to the solar […]

This is my first AVR-project on this page. The DiSEqC-Tester allows to test DiSEqC-switches that uses 1.0 or 1.1 protocols. (DiSEqC-Switches with 2.0 and 2.1 protocol have backwards compatibility with 1.0 & 1.1 respectively and also may be tested). The device every second sends a DiSEqC-message that makes switch a DiSEqC-switch. Four LEDs are intended […]

“Radio waves” transmit music, conversations, pictures and data invisibly through the air, often over millions of miles — it happens every day in thousands of different ways! Even though radio waves are invisible and completely undetectable to humans, they have totally changed society. Whether we are talking about a cell phone, a baby monitor, a […]

April 11 – German engineering company, Festo has unveiled its latest robotic creation, a mechanical dragonfly called the BionicOpter. Like a real dragonfly, the BionicOpter can hover in mid-air and glide without beating its wings, an achievement Festo says takes aerial robotics to new heights. Rob Muir has more.   For more detail: Robotic dragonfly […]

NFC unifies all contactless and wireless standards, thus enabling an unbelievably simple data transfer or for example a WiFi connection establishment. Near Field Communication (NFC) technology was developed in order to solve the wireless technologies dilemma, which enable even a substantially higher transfer speed but often for the price of a time consuming setup. It […]

AVR IR Downloader is one of final assignments at Electrical Engineering Brawijaya University of Malang, Indonesia. The basic idea was came from our lecturer at campus, Ir. Nanang Sulistyanto. If this project was successfully made, it will be used to program our automatic machine’s uC during the testing schedule. Actually we are using Atmel AVR […]

Automatic dialers, or autodialers, are an example of computer telephone integration (CTI). Using special software and a modem, a computer can be programmed to automatically dial a long list of phone numbers. Depending on the software’s sophistication, the computer can detect whether a live person answers the phone and then hand the call over to […]

LCDs are often used in microcontroller projects. Most used are these green character displays with two or more rows to display menus, status or debug messages. With mass production of mobile phones, color LCDs get that cheap, that they can be used as replacement. Some time ago I ordered a Nokia 6100 LCD including breakout […]
