Most projects are built on abstractions. After all, few of us can create our own wire, our own transistors, or our own integrated circuits. A few months ago, [Julian Ilett] found a problem using the ...

The table shows the pin configuration of the Arduino UNO–based robotic arm. The red (VCC) wires of all servos are connected ...

When multiple PWM converters are connected in series (or in parallel) in a power electronics circuit, it is appropriate to run all converters at the same frequency but with certain phase shift among ...

Looking for a simple circuit to control the light intensity of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or similar lighting sources? Here is an Arduino based circuit with three independent pulse width modulated ...

I have been discussing control algorithms for a power supply and idly looking for some easy hardware on which to try the technique – hardware small enough to build into a prototype. See also: An AVR ...

The good thing about computers is they do your work for you, right? If you are a programmer, that doesn’t always seem to be a true statement. [Runtimemicro] has the answer, at least if you are writing ...

In adding an alternative cutter drive motor (‘spindle’) to an existing cnc machine, an electrically isolated pwm to analogue converter is needed. The machine uses a ‘grbl’ controller, which has an ...

Ynformatic has this week published details on how to use your iPhone together with a little Arduino hardware and programming to create some awesome polarised images similar to the one above. The ...

A new fully featured Arduino development board has been created called the Prestissimo Uno+ which is now available to back via Kickstarter with earlybird pledges available from just $20, AUS$28 or ...

A pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal and the RC-charging characteristics of a weighted-capacitor network can be used along with a CMOS Schmitt inverter to generate a pulse whose width is linearly ...
