Near-Field Communication (NFC) is an evolution of radio frequency identification (RFID) tag technology that allows objects to respond to the tap of a mobile device. Although the tags are being used for making payments from a wireless bank card or a mobile phone, there are many more applications. NFC takes the identification and low cost […]

High-quality enclosures from company New Age Enclosures can be assembled by one click. If we´ll carefully design a device in a way to be as small as possible, it´s natural, that we don´t want to make it bigger by a uselessly bulky enclosure. For this purpose we keep in offer enclosures for small USB or

It has been 7 years (!) since I posted my PIC18F2550 KS0108 Graphical LCD Oscilloscope code and schematics. I have long since taken the circuit apart, sold my PIC microcontrollers, and moved on in my life (as one can surmise from my most recent posts detailing my graduate and postdoctoral work). However, I still get

it’s small but packed with features. The GSM alarmwe present today, sports a PIR motion sensor, can be battery operated and it’s capable to communicate via GSM. It can transmit alarm conditions and receive commands from remote. It’s also capable to indicate problems such as is insufficient voltage supply or tampering. It’s not so conventional

Here is a really small side project that I developed while working on something else… I had to test a RC speed controller that I wanted to use to control an electric car window motor, and for the 100th time I was facing the same dilemma: find 8 batteries for my remote control, dismount the

My E-Paper boards finally arrived. They look awesome. I totally nailed the cutouts for the e-paper display. They’re perfect. The ribbon connectors on the display fit nicely through the slots. They clip right into the breakout board, which is perfectly aligned over the holes for the 7-pin headerThey clip right into the breakout board, which

Do you think programming is difficult? Did you think Robotics is just for programmers? We don´t think so. Our aim is to make robotics accessible to everyone. At Minirobots we have developed mOwayduino, an open source robot, based on Arduino technology. mOwayduino robot is ready to program, with multiple built-in sensors, motors and more. You don´t need

Digital control optimizes the efficiency, line, and load regulation of a DC-to-DC switching voltage regulator. Engineers are able to adapt the regulator’s closed-loop response, for example, to perfectly match the demands of their product. However, digital control really comes into its own in a more complex system that comprises several regulators. The individual devices can
