A DC motor worksby converting electricpower into mechanical work. This is accomplished by forcing current through a coil and producing a magnetic field that spins the motor. One technique to vary the speed of a DC motor is by varying the voltage on the coil..... -
VCO is definitely useful in so many RF projects, wide band Ghz VCO get more concern than VHF/UHF VCO. here is a Manhattan Island Pad construction for VHF VCO, low to 88Mhz and up to around 300Mhz. Here is the schematic, a Seiler oscillator, Voltage.... -
This article describes how to implement a simple, but robust, optical wheel encoder system on a robot that uses hobby servos for two-wheel differential drive. In my case I am using the TJ-PROTM robot platform from MekatronixTM, and some aspects of this.... -
The transistor switches ON and pushes the magnet away, and at the same time the transistor switches off, the stored energy in the coil is going to collapse and the only way it can go is into the charging battery. The next magnet arrives, and the process.... -
For many years, the Q meter has been an essential piece of equipment for laboratories engaged in the testing of radio frequency circuits. In modem laboratories, the Q meter has been largely replaced by more exotic (and more expensive) impedance measuring.... -
After answering all those questions, to yourself, and geting the answers and/or decisions on that, some serious studying of the PIC datasheet is the next step ion order to know what the steps for each configuration and other details. Not quite. It is bit 3.... -
The new TPS2359 hot-plug controller integrates all of the power management functions for two AdvancedMC (AMC) modules. Its current limiting circuitry enables designers to meet tight AMC requirements. This is relevant because many applications use redundant.... -
This article offers an alternative to efficiency measurements as an evaluation tool of power supplies. The proposed method works well with little dependency on the output voltage and temperature. Power supplies have always been evaluated and compared based.... -
High brightness (HB) and super HB LEDs are found in LCD TFT backlighting in highend TVs, industrial lighting, and projectors. One popular area is for instrument panel backlighting, interior lighting, and the brake lights of many cars and trucks. Luxury.... -
Sip-and-Puff (SNP) controllers are nothing new - you`ve probably seen one in action yourself. SNPs are often seen on electric wheelchairs and allow individuals who can`t use their hands to control their wheelchairs (or whatever else) by either "sipping".... -
Trying to get this motor to work with a L293D Motor Drive Shield the shield is capable of handling 600mA per coil, this motor according to the data here takes 400mA (presumable per coil) so should be good there. However the data sheet here does not relay.... -
This hot-air rework station is great for professionals and hobbyists in need of tight temperature tolerances and large air flows. This unit displays a digital readout of the actual air temperature with a flow rate of up to 23L per minute. This very powerful.... -
The 0. 5" force sensitive resistor (FSR) is a quick way to measure pressure, and is very easy to setup. The FSR varies its resistance depending on how much pressure is applied to the sensing area. The greater the force, the lower the resistance. When.... -
The core of this project (play a sound when a sensor is activated) is applicable to all sorts of areas (Halloween, art installations, scaring your little brother, Burning Man, etc. ), so read this with an eye to applications you`d like to see. My first.... -
We discussed creating a 6` tall alarm clock - authentic down to the Timex face plate. While this may sound like a silly idea to begin with, it quickly became obvious just how difficult it would be to build at that scale so the project was scuttled. Recently,.... -
A cellular rotary phone - the dialing takes forever! And here in Colorado - on a 10-digit dialing system - you don`t dare mess up the number. Where do you even buy a rotary phone these days Oddly enough, there are quite a few phones on Froogle that had push.... -
This is a series of lectures written for those with mild electronics background (aka Sophomore in Electrical and Computer Engineering) to learn about the wild world of Embedded Electronics. I assume only that you know what electricity is and that you`ve.... -
Get all the parts for this lecture here. We also highly recommend that you get a multimeter with a `continuity` setting. A good quality multimeter with this setting goes for ~$60 and as high as $300 for a really spectacular one. We like our $60 cheapo. Sorry....

This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of.... -
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is.... -
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to.... -
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This.... -
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the.... -
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,.... -
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the.... -
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power.... -
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
