I saw this LED bar-graph on the Pimoroni site and thought it might be an inexpensive and fun project while undertaking covid-19 lockdown. It contains 24 LEDS, a red and a green, in each of its 12 segments, so in theory you should be able to display red, green and yellow. Normally you would expect […]

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

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)

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

This is a second project in series on coronavirus protection from TinkerGen. You can find the first article here. We firmly believe that with humanity’s collective efforts, current epidemic will soon come to an end. But even after COVID-19 has passed we should remain vigilant and keep the good habits we (hopefully) developed during these tough times. The

There are really several reasons why this project came into existence: 1. As an author of cooperative multitasking library TaskScheduler I was always curious how to combine the benefits of cooperative multitasking with the benefits of pre-emptive one. There are benefits to both and both have shortcomings. Combining the two allows a unique opportunity to leverage benefits

Satellites are man-made instruments that collect information and data from space. Humans have pioneered space technology over the years and space technology is more accessible than ever. Earlier Satellites used to be very complicated and expensive but Now space technology is more accessible and affordable than ever. Nowadays we can build a satellite quite easily
