1-07-2008 | This project is intended for use in conjunction with existing or still-to-be-built garden lighting systems. The circuit cannot operate alone...

1-07-2008 | The transmitter uses a well-known module manufactured for some years now by Aurel as their ‘FM audio transmitter’. It works in the licence-f...

1-07-2008 | The circuit is very simple, as we have employed a microcontroller – a ‘little’ 12C508 from Microchip, which is more than adequate for such a...

1-07-2008 | It takes only a handful of components to build our intelligent regulator. It uses a PIC 12C671 microcontroller, which has the double advanta...

1-07-2008 | This ‘solar’ PSU having been designed for this purpose right from the start, the elements it composes are integrated to a higher extent, lea...

1-07-2008 | The majority of dirt cheap ordinary chargers don’t include any regulation circuitry and so will over-charge a vehicle battery if you’re unwi...

1-07-2007 | Although the simplest robots may be content to simply detecting obstacles, many robots that require precision in their positioning need to b...

1-07-2007 | When we want to motorize a robot, two main solutions are open to us: the DC motor, used alone or in a converted radio-control (RC) servo sys...

1-07-2007 | Current radio-control servos are very compact, bearing in mind they contain not only their own mechanism, but also dedicated drive electroni...

1-07-2007 | When first trying our hand at robotics, we’re generally in a hurry to build a mobile robot that has a degree of autonomy. It’s with this aim...
