Ever since the first microcontroller was released in 1980 by Intel - the Harvard Architecture 8051 mcu - microcontrollers have revolutionized the electronics industry and has spurred an array of low-cost microcontrollers like PIC, AVR, ARM, and others. The AVR has been the one that...

shabaz @ element14.com show us how to build a Current Probe based on DRV425 Integrated Fluxgate Magnetic Sensor IC. He writes: Current measurement can be really awkward when working with circuits. Voltage measurements are (usually) straightforward, but when it comes to current...

Usually, everyone switches “OFF” all electrical appliances in their home, including Air conditioners when leaving the house, this means when you get back home, the temperature will not be regulated, and it will take the air conditioner some time to achieve your desired level of...
