| Playing with the mains voltage can be deadly, so proper isolation techniques and safe working practices are very important. Besides emphasiz...
| The latest AVR microcontrollers from Microchip like the ATmega4809, ATmega3209, ATtiny816, and ATtiny1616 are programmed through a Unified P...
| Driving a mains-powered load, be it inductive or resistive, invariably has to be done with care and attention to avoid dangerous situations....
| When you can build a device exactly as you want it, the result may not be useful to many people. However, often the project itself contains...
| Very common on old equipment, today they seem to have disappeared completely. I am talking about those pushbutton banks of which only one bu...
| Of course you can use your super-duper multimeter to measure the gain (hfe) of a transistor, but isn’t it much more fun to program a microco...
| Programming a traffic light controller on a microcontroller is not too complicated, and an easy job for Arduino. But, wait a minute… it can...
| Satellite dish positioning motors are extremely resistant due to their worm gear. After all, they are intended to hold the ‘dish’ in a fixed...
