Interested in building your next audio amp, before you do have a look at some builds so that you can see what you are in for. This AMP6 looks like a fun build. “The AMP6 is a small amplifier that uses the Tripath TA2020 chip and includes an onboard regulated power supply. The manufacturer, Tripath Technology, Inc. describes Class-T amplifiers as offering both the audio fidelity of Class-AB and the
Using a PIC microcontroller and a accelerometer this toy car has been turned into a fun balancing robot. About half way through the video the car is violently pushed back and forth, either the best recoveries were captured and displayed or the recovery code is very impressive! Here is a video of the car before all the refinements were put in. 🙂 Does anyone know if there is a
Above image is a B9A Nixie Tube Tester & Regenerator that tests and removed cathode poisoning. The B9A Nixie Tube tester is just one project from Tube-tester.com web site. The site is in German and English and is hosted by Dieter. This site is one of the foremost resources around for Nixie tubes, antique tube testers and Nixie tube specifications. Dieter collects data sheets of Nixie tubes from all over
This image shows a bipolar marx generator. The output is a million volts. Mike’s Electric Stuff web site contains three major sections: Antique Glass Stuff, Tesla coils and High-voltage stuff and Miscellaneous electric, science & laser stuff. This site is definitely a look but don’t touch kind of site. Please enjoy the high voltage, but do not attempt to build these devices unless you have experience working with High Voltage.
Afroman’s digital capacitor writeup is mostly theory, but it has some good applications and looks like it could be pretty useful for future projects “By manipulating the input/output states on a microcontroller, you can effectively switch capacitors in and out of circuit, as long as the circuit requires one end of the capacitor to be connected to ground when it is in use. When you set a PIC’s tristate buffer
Our friends over at the Deadly Computer Blog have just finished an Interactive LED Table Build. The results are great! “ A few months ago I saw this Interactive LED Table on a bunch of blogs and instantly knew I must have my own. I contacted the people over at Evil Mad Scientist about their kits, and put in my order. That was in October, and I have been slowly
Bruce Land teaches a great course at Cornell University called Advanced Microcontroller Systems on a Programmable Chip (ECE576). This looks to be the big brother to this course. Bruce was kind enough to drop us a line to share the latest group of ECE576 Final Projects. They are all impressive but here are a few of my favorites. This is the Light Source Motion Tracking project. One thing to remember
