    Radio Frequency Communication (RF)

    I don't know if their indian language site works better, but none of their links on their english site work so I can't give you much information on that. Are you creating a PCB? Wireless, from what I've heard, is difficult to make reliable for a hobbyist. Especially if it isn't on a PCB. I've...

    Help needed for storage device

    Most microcontrollers have a serial interface. You connect this to a MAX232 chip (or equivalent) in addition to some capacitors (check the data sheets). This chip is available through samples from many companies. It basically does the level conversion from the micro to the PC. You then connect...

    Help needed for storage device

    You will also need an instrumentation amplifier (like an INA338 from TI) before the UAF42 ICs. The signals will go from the sensor to the instrumentation amplifier and then to the UAF42 filter and then to the microcontroller. I've never interfaced to a flash drive before, I just would output to...

    sugar level detector

    So what you are thinking of is a blood glucose monitor. Most of these currently extract blood from the person and test it using some sort of sensor. Doing a quick search I did find one non-invasive one that used photonic measurements of the eye to determine blood sugar. Some use Spectroscopy. It...

    sugar level detector

    Do you mean its concentration in a liquid? Or how much granular sugar there is in a container?

    Help needed for storage device

    I went to the University of British Columbia in Canada. Does the piezoresistive sensor actually measure force or are you trying to correlate the angle of the piezoresistive sensor to the force? As I recall, piezoresistive sensors change their resistance with angle of bending which doesn't...

    Help needed for storage device

    So are you actually measuring the electromyogram signal (the electrical signal sent to the muscle)? If so, this is similar to my MASc. So I'll be more than glad to help out. What university do you go to? I need some more answers to help you. Are you sure the signal isn't bipolar? EMG signals...

    My TVs all have only 2 prongs.

    Radio Frequency Communication (RF)

    So you decided against a wired link? Texas Instruments has the ICs you are looking for. I don't know if they supply sample parts to India though...

    Voice-Activated Door Opener

    Hi Garvey, You may want to contact that company and ask their pricing for 1 or 2 chips. They say $2.40 and $3.85 in quantities of 100K but you won't be using anywhere near that amount. It might be too costly. Do you care if different people can say the phrase and gain entrance? Or can it be...

    Help needed for storage device

    I assume you want to record the voltage as well as display it right? Anyway, to do this you will require several things. 1. A low pass filter (LPF) and amplification 2. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 3. A microcontroller (and some sort of flash memory) or a connection to a PC. The low...

    COLOUR T.V

    There is high voltage inside a TV set to launch the electrons through the CRT with enough velocity to cause the phosphor coating to light up. There is also a high voltage for the steering coils to cause the electron beam to curve to allow it to hit the top and bottom rows of the set and to scan...

    sensors:pre final year engineering mini pojects(urgent)

    This site lets you search for various types of sensors. Most manufacturers will have datasheets for the sensor you are using and likely has circuits in their applications notes. http://www.globalspec.com/ As for books, "Principles of Engineering Instrumentation" by Ramsay has general...

    sensors:pre final year engineering mini pojects(urgent)

    The easiest and probably cheapest examples I can think of are using velocity sensors or accelerometers to control DC motor speed. If you want to get more complicated, you could use some position sensors as well and use two motors and a couple of linkages to make a simple planar robot. Depends...

    AM to FM convertor

    Hi audioguru, Where abouts do you live? When I drove from Vancouver to Calgary, there were no FM stations once I left the two major cities. So I was forced to listen to AM because I forgot to put songs on my mp3 player. It was kind of funny because there were some religious talk shows and funny...
