Bluz powered probe thermometer to stream temperature data to your smartphone. Never dry out your steaks or chicken again! By Eric Ely: With summer arriving, and the fear of dried out chicken looming, we wanted a more high tech way to track the temperature of items we are grilling...

By Boris Landoni @ open-electronics.org: Here we present our first tests with the Pixy camera, a device capable of detecting the colour of the objects, and to track their position. Until a short time ago, it was really difficult to develop applications able to take advantage of...

Øyvind Nydal Dahl published a new project on his website: I’ve played with the Intel Galileo a lot lately, so now it’s time to build some Intel Galileo projects! In this project I built a very simple weather station that records the temperature and humidity and saves these to...

by Bob Yirka @ techxplore.com: A team of researchers with members from the University of California and Rice University has found a way to get a flat transistor to defy theoretical limitations on Field Effect Transistors (FETs). In their paper published in the journal Nature, the...

by break_it_fix_it @ instructables.com: I needed to be able to control 3 different servo motors by altering the position of 3 potentiometers. There are lots of people out there doing things like this, but I couldn't find an exact match for everything I needed, so I decided to post...

LTM2881 allows RS485 or RS422 communication even in harsh environment. RS485 is often used as physical layer for industrial buses like ModBus, ProfiBus, InterBus, P-Net, BACnet and Bit-Bus. Bus length depends on data rate and can reach as much as 1000m. Correct function of...

by 17bhuey @ instructables.com: In order to create this project, many physical materials are necessary, a lot of which will not be found lying around at home. In order to do this project, you should go out to computer stores or look online for these products. Keep in mind that you...

by Graham Prophet @ edn-europe.com: LT6657 is a family of ultra-stable bandgap voltage references that exhibits less than 1.5ppm/°C of temperature drift. Reinforcing this performance, the device has only 0.5ppm p-p of low frequency noise, less than 30 ppm of long term drift and 35...
