Pull-up Resistors explained
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pull-up-resistors-explained/
a1ronzo @ learn.sparkfun.com explains us the importance of pull-up resistors and when and why they are used in digital circuits. Pull-up resistors are very common when using microcontrollers (MCUs) or any digital logic device. This tutorial will explain when and where to use pull-up resistors, then we will do a simple calculation to show why pull-ups […]
Howto Measure RTD over long distances
https://www.electronics-lab.com/howto-measure-rtd-over-long-distances/
Maurizio @ dev.emcelettronica.com tipped us with his latest article on how to measure Resistance Temperature Detectors over long distances. There is a multitude of process parameters nowadays that need to be measured in the industrial environment (temperature, pressure, humidity, force etc.). Out of these, undoubtedly the most common one is temperature, as it influences most manufacturing parameters. […]

DC Motor IR2104 H-BRIDGE
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ir2104-h-bridge/
H-Bridge has been designed around IR2104 IC from international Rectifier. The board has been made mainly for DC-Motor application. The driver can handle load up to 8-10Amps. I have tested this board with 36V DC supply . The circuit uses N Channel IR540 MOSFETS from international rectifier. IR540 requires large heat sink for 10Amps load. […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/build-a-wireless-water-meter-for-your-home/
David Schneider @ spectrum.ieee.org shows us how to watch over your water usage using an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi. He writes: California, where I once lived, is in the midst of a severe drought. Thankfully, I now reside in North Carolina, a much wetter state. But even here there have been years when water was in […]
Precision programmable current source uses two ICs
https://www.electronics-lab.com/precision-programmable-current-source-uses-two-ics/
by Stefano Salvatori & Pietro Oliva @ edn.com: This Design Idea mates a precision current source IC with precision difference amp chips to create a programmable current source or sink. The resistor-programmable current source/sink in Figure 1 illustrates the basic topology, taking advantage of tightly matched on-chip resistor ratios instead of relying on absolute tolerances. Precision programmable […]
