Here is an example of cool electrical art. As crazy as this outlet wall is there were many times that I wish that is exactly what I had behind my workbench. There is usually always just one device that can’t be plugged in because of a large wall wart or the cable just doesn’t quite reach. Via: Tugatronica "Instead of hiding your outlets behind furniture and worrying about the
We have seen lots of interesting thumb drives such as the Hard Drive thumb drive array, and the VHS Thumb Drive. Now thanks to CF14 Industries we have a Vacuum Tube Thumb Drive. It takes a bit of trial and error to build one so I would have a few tubes on hand before you try to build your own.
If you are looking for a new microcontroller project and like to play with LEDs this 4 RGB LED PWM Controller project might be for you. There is full documentation provided. "The advantages include the built-in 4MHz oscillator, hardware USART, and ease of reprogramming. A couple of features I had in mind during the design: Multiple intensities for each color (using PWM) Multiple individually controllable RGB LEDs High-speed update
The Honda Asimo robot has recently got a HMI upgrade. Instead of using joysticks and buttons the Asimo can now be controlled using mind control! We have seen this mind control technology in the past but not controlling a physical robot. "Japan scientists at the Honda Research Institute have unveiled the world’s first brain to machine interface. Dubbed BMI short for Brain Machine Interface this new technology system will
David Jones explains CMOS SCR Latchup in his latest Electronics Engineering Video Blog post.
The sponsor this week is Tokyo Flash, that’s right the company that makes the crazy watches that we featured here some time ago. Believe it or not the watches have gotten crazier than the last time I saw them. How cool would it be if no one else could read the time on you watch unless you taught them how to do it. 🙂 No emails this time, we are
Here is a great example of a DIY amp project. The TDA2050 Hi-Fi Chip Amplifier looks like a good chip to use for this purpose. There is full schematics and details provided so that you can build your own. Thanks Gio. "The amplifier is built around a single integrated circuit (IC), the TDA2050V which is produced by STMicroelectronics. From the data sheet, the TDA2050V is intended for use as
