Download FreePC project file, gerber and png copper and silk-screen: 1wattledbuck.zip Introduction I have some 1 watt warm white LEDs left over from a project and the application for them was obvious: A better battery operated lamp for use when the power fails, which it does frequently, especially during the rainy season. And this one should […]

Overview The circuit shown in Figure 1 is capable of driving an LED array requiring up to several amps with a burst of flashes before coming on until power is removed. It is intended to be used as an auxiliary warning light driver. The initial burst of flashes is meant to enhance visual detection of

Be Careful About Peak Current A note of caution: These LEDs are comparatively expensive, so I suggest putting a small resistor (1 to 10 Ohms) in series with the cathode of the LED and measuring the peak current as inferred from the IR drop using either a scope or a peak detection probe (as described

Download auto-zero assembly code This broadband probe has a small antenna (about a 15 cm length of insulated wire). Radio Frequency energy coupled to the antenna is detected and made available to drive millivolt level signals to the input of a DVM (Digital Volt Meter). Its battery powered for convenience with very low current drain

A milliohmmeter is just the tool for checking trace resistance on a printed circuit board, tracking down shorted traces, and measuring the contact resistance of a switch or connector. Its the kind of tool that would come in real handy occasionally, but not often enough to justify shelling out hundreds of dollars. Wanting one anyway,

Simplicity in circuitry was the design direction. Zero mass (firmware only with no physical components) would the ultimate achievement. This instrument doesn’t have any front panel controls because the user interacts via an RS-232 terminal program at 9600 baud. I needed a frequency meter for my experiments in Nondu, Thailand, where I really don’t have
