This article looks at the latest touchscreen sensor technologies and the wide range of interfaces that the different technologies use. It also evaluates the different approaches for interfacing such sensors for human interfaces from three, four and five wire to USB, covering sensors and interfaces from Atmel, 3M, IR Touch Systems, and NKK Switches. Resistive […]

Push the knobs The knobs all have convenient actions if you push them: pushing Vertical Position or Horizontal Position centers the trace vertically or horizontally. Pushing Tigger Level sets it to zero. Pushing Scale sets it to fine adjust mode. Long Memory If you don’t use Long Memory, you’re wasting most of the capacity of

To display the wave I am using XOSCILLO, a very cool and open source tool (which I wrote :P) that converts your Arduino into an oscilloscope. Circuit diagram Here is the scheme, I am using the typical instrumental amplifier(ins amp) and then another op amp to get some more gain. An ins-amp is like an

The BareDuino Nano is the world’s smallest Arduino compatible board. It was designed by a very young maker, Niek Blankers, aged 15, from the Netherlands. Niek has been interested in electronics since he was less than 8 years old. A couple of years ago when he was given the first Arduino board, he fell in
