Microchip announces two new 8-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs), the PIC16F527 and PIC16F570, which combine a PIC MCU with a dual Op Amp module, an 8-bit ADC and two comparators. The new MCUs add several features to support ease of use and system robustness. The all-new hardware interrupt capability gives designers the freedom to implement more

This article looks at the integration of sensors into 4 to 20 mA control loops and field bus implementations in industrial automation applications. Adding intelligence to the sensor allows more control and options for closed or open control loops with tighter latencies, and the article looks at the different approaches to implementing a smart sensor

Invention of a new Open Source mechanical musical instrument Following the « DYI » trend, here comes a musical automaton created by [EricDuino]. This Arduino based autonomous robot is named « Line Follower Organ », « Orgue Suiveur de Ligne » in its maiden language. Whatâs new with this instrument is that it moves along its partition in order to play

As you know, the BE-CO-HT section at CERN has been contributing to Kicad for some time now. We see this involvement as a key part of our activities regarding Open Source Hardware [1]. We are also contributing to the adoption of VHDL and SystemVerilog in the Icarus Verilog simulator, so as to enable cross-language simulation.

Three years back in time, I bought Nikon D3000 DSLR. I started shooting, but the moment I needed remote, came one day (more over night), during on night photography session. I checked all local suppliers, but the prices were high. I ordered one from China. The problem with orders from China is that they take

Currently revising the design to reduce weight and have bigger wing chord base on advise from DIYdrones with slightly shorter wings.  AUW 1521 Grams Wing loading 14.83 oz/ftÂČ Â power to weight 270 Watts per Kg should perform much better than Yellow plane one. I’m changing from the D4023-850 Out Runner Motor to a higher kv Turnigy L3010C-1300kv Tests show significant improvement in static thrust
