We`ve called it the Itsy Bitsy USB Lamp. It is such a delightfully simple idea we`re wondering why no-one ever thought of it before. It started life (and continues) as a student project at Massey University in Wellington, New Zealand - and in fact was.... -
This simple device allows two computers to share a single USB printer or some other USB device, such as an external flash drive, memory card reader or scanner. A rotary switch selects the PC that you wish to use with the USB device, while two LEDs indicate.... -
This circuit switches a printer s USB connection from a PC to a laptop. What was needed was a method of allowing a laptop to use the printer occasionally while at all other times the printer would be connected to the PC. Instead of unplugging the printer.... -
Today, almost all computers contain logic blocks for implementing a USB port. A USB port, in practice, is capable of delivering more than 100 mA of continuous current at 5V to the peripherals that are connected to the bus. So a USB port can be used, without.... -
The second program just sends "Hello world" to the PC. By default my board uses the Virtual COM Port (VCP) driver so you can view the output using Hyperterminal or similar program, I recommend PuTTY. The setup is quite simple, when I plug the PCB into my PC,.... -
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) has become a ubiquitous technology for computer peripherals. It is available on virtually every new computer and in most cases provides a seamless connection method for a variety of consumer electronics devices such as digital.... -
My projects typically involve many LEDs and microcontrollers. However sometimes I just love the simplest of things with LEDs. One of the very basic L.... -
The DE2 board provides both USB host and device interfaces using the Philips ISP1362 single-chip USB controller. The host and device controllers are compliant with the Universal Serial Bus Specification Rev. 2. 0, supporting data transfer at full-speed (12.... -
The enable signal for USB chip and GLCD controller were made by PLD decoder from the address lines. As we have seen the memory map for i/o of 8051SBC board, the available space is from 0x0300-0x07FF. The address range of 0x0300-0x03FF was used for USB chip.... -
The MAX3420 is a USB peripheral controller chip with an SPI bus. This page hopefully contains enough information to help you easily make use of the device in your projects. The MAX3420 provides a very simple approach to adding a USB interface to a circuit..... -
It plugs into the USB port and is just the shot for checking motherboard switch and jumper settings. Many readers will remember a commercial product of a few years ago, the "Itty Bitty Book Light". It was designed to clip over the top of a book to give just.... -
We tested a regular charger and found that it consumed 13mA with no load. Like many others, it has an integrated power LED and that would contribute significantly to the standby current consumption. However, since the cigarette lighter socket is only powered.... -
More and more equipment is sold that runs off internal rechargeable batteries. Although a matching charger is usually supplied in the package, there are also devices that can only be charged via a USB port. That is not surprising in the case of USB MP3.... -
Life in the 21st century would be almost unbearable without some of the computer peripherals that PC users now look on as essentials - take for example the USB powered teacup warmer; this device is obviously an invaluable productivity tool for all users but.... -
This circuit of multimedia speakers for PCs has single-chip-based design, low-voltage power supply, compatibility with USB power, easy heat-sinking, low cost, high flexibility and wide temperature tolerance. At the heart of the circuit is IC TDA2822M. This.... -
This circuit switches a printer`s USB connection from a PC to a laptop. What was needed was a method of allowing a laptop to use the printer occasionally while at all other times the printer would be connected to the PC. Instead of unplugging the printer.... -
This article is the result of the very positive feedback on the hardware articles that I have written so far. You LinuxFocus readers are really a great audience! Some of you wanted to know how to interface the USB bus. So here is a nice solution. We use the.... -
A portable phone charger for a Siemens mobile phone. Since I don`t use that phone anymore and recent phones can usually be charged with a USB connector I built a new version of the charger. This time with a proper PCB, a USB connector and a higher current.... -
By adding discrete inductors in series with the device, we can œtune out some of the capacitance, and improve the eye opening. If we add enough inductance to peak the 3rd harmonic of 240 MHz, with the capacitance of the device and any added board.... -
A USB port, in practice, is capable of supplying more than 100 mA of continuous electric current at 5V to the peripherals which are hooked up with the bus. So a USB port could be utilized, without having any problems, for powering 5V DC operated tiny.... -
In the old days it was very simple to use the parallel port of a standard PC and program just about any type of AVR microcontroller with it. When you want to do that now, you`re first obliged to buy aprogrammer that communicates with the PC via USB, which.... -
Anyone experimenting or developing USB ported peripheral hardware soon be comes irritated by the need to disconnect and connect the plug in order to reestablish communication with the PC. This process is necessary for example each time the peripheral.... -
This threads explains how I`ve made my custom USB tyre pressure monitoring system by hacking this aftermarket kit bought on eBay. The first step was.... -
build an interface board to connect some scientific equipment (for me, a pair of photovoltaic tubes) to a personal computer to acquire measurements results. Signal properties were following: two channels with a common ground, 1 second of acquisition time,.... -
V-USB is a software-only implementation of a low-speed USB device for Atmel`s AVR ® microcontrollers, making it possible to build USB hardware with almost any AVR ® microcontroller, not requiring any additional chip. Supports multiple endpoints: one control.... -
This Atmel IC, is clocked in the circuit with a 12 MHz quartz and provides a communication between the Infrared receiver and the PC, so that this signal can being processed by infrared receiver programs like Girder. As soon as a valid RC5 signal of the.... -

A couple of USB DACs but no one have I2S output. Some people doesn`t need S/PDIF input and they want only USB. With these requirements is unnecessary to convert signal first from USB to S/PDIF and next to I2S for DAC. This board have analog headphone output,.... -
High quality DAC convertor from USB to S/PDIF. I choose PCM2704 circuit, which sent me TI company like sample. Circuit has analog output for headphones and digital S/PDIF output with electrical and optical(TOSLINK) interface. We can use too 3 HID buttons for.... -
The FT8U232AM requires a small number of external components to produce a device that converts USB to TTL level RS232 signals. All you need to add is a TTL to RS232 converter to provide the 12V RS232 logic levels. The FT8U232AM and supporting components is....

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.... -
