1-01-2014 | It seems that to even dip your feet in the ocean of DSP (digital signal processing) you need lots of SMD soldering skills and a ton of math....

1-07-2013 | If an engineering problem appears daunting and complex that does not always equate to the solution being expensive and/or high tech. Elektor...

1-03-2013 | This small test circuit is a handy aid for anyone who frequently works with servos. It is often sufficient that you can connect a servo to t...

1-07-2012 | When working on electronics projects containing one or more operational amplifiers (opamps), the associated resistors and capacitors often h...

1-03-2012 | Soldering polarised components always requires some extra attention. Sometimes, mostly with small SMT components, it’s not quite obvious whi...

1-06-2011 | Lab worker Luc Lemmens is a ‘convert’. He has been persuaded to buy a hot-air rework station for use at home and bought the 852 from Aoyue (...

1-07-2010 | In order to use an SMD device on a standard prototyping or perf board (breadboard) you will first need to fit it into some sort of carrier o...

1-04-2010 | SMDs are nice and compact, but their small dimensions also have some drawbacks. You can hardly tell different types of passive components ap...

1-07-2009 | The key advantage of this project is that the TUT (transistor under test) is pressed hard onto three PCB tracks that lead directly to socket...

1-07-2009 | Gadgets can be very useful to assist the task of placing components in printed circuit boards. Some people clamp the PCB in a small vice, ei...
