| Inductors can be mimicked quite easily using operational amplifiers. The circuit shown here was developed to have an inductance of 1000 H (s...

| So far we have studied the characteristics of the RS-232 outputs in detail. Now it is the turn of the inputs. The standard demands that an i...

| In this third part we look at the output signals of the RS-232 interface. In order to control devices with these output signals, it is neces...

| Building radio receivers is the classic introduction to electronics, usually by constructing simple detector type receivers for medium wave...

| In this second part we concentrate on software. We take a closer look at the IOtest program presented in the first article and use simple pr...

| In the first part of this article we looked at the electrical characteristics of the USB standard. In this part we investigate the software...

| Loss-free switching, using a Field Effect Transistor (FET) and a capacitor‘s discharge function, is the base theme of this elementary circui...

| At one time or another many readers may have thought about controlling or monitoring equipment using their PC. Electronics projects using a...

| Everybody is talking about the USB. In the long term, this new serial interface could replace many of the PC interfaces that have been used...

| The USB Interface described elsewhere in this issue demonstrates that the USB may be used for DIY projects related to measurement and contro...
