Silicon Lab’s TS1100 and TS1101 current sense amplifier’s features discussed in this app note. Sensing and controlling supply current flow are a fundamental requirement in most all electronic systems from battery-operated, portable equipment to mobile or fixed-platform power...

The DRV101 is a low-side power switch employing a pulse-width modulated (PWM) output. Its rugged design is optimized for driving electromechanical devices such as valves, solenoids, relays, actuators, and positioners. The DRV101 module is also ideal for driving thermal devices such as...

Using standard ICs and open software ecosystem from STMicroelectronics, Samtec has introduced its first Samtec nMode wireless sensor module. The production-ready solution allows engineers to remotely sense and measure inertial, environmental and acoustical parameters. By Graham...

Arduino boards are very useful for beginners to get started with building hardware projects. But at some point, more powerful controller than the Arduino’s 8 MHz one will be needed, featuring faster clock rate, floating point engine, and rich peripherals. As Kris Winer found, the...

Shenzhen Yuejiang Technology Co. Ltd ("Yuejiang") is a leading robot arm solution provider in China. Yuejiang is established in July 2015 in Shenzhen, China by 5 dedicated robotics engineers with the mission of facilitating the development and upgrading of the industrial robotic arms...

"pinko" has designed a simple datalogger based on a PIC microcontroller that logs data on a SD Card. He writes: Some time ago I decoded to make a simple general purpose Data Logger with the following parameters for the project. it should have very simple design that should be...

landingfield.wordpress.com shows us their progress on how to make a cooled CMOS camera able to be used for astrophotography. In the last post, I uncovered a bug in the Vivado implementation which accidently removes the DIFF_TERM from my input buffer. With that problem solved, I...

Elliot Williams @ hackaday.com show us how to use your Arduino to program AVR TPI enabled microcontrollers. Turning an Arduino of virtually any sort into a simple AVR 6-pin ISP programmer is old hat. But when Atmel came out with a series of really tiny AVR chips, the ATtiny10 and...
