On the Drawing Board

Prototyping boards / stripboards are hardly the easiest way to make printed circuit boards. Because of the fixed pads and tracks it's im...

Scoured some 20 toy and collectibles stores in search of a model/toy traffic light that I can hack and modify. Not a single one had. Unbelie...

Because the datasheet for the PIC 12F1822 lists the supply current for only a select number of internal oscillator frequencies I went and ...

Agilent just unveiled its latest lines of InfiniiVision oscilloscopes .  Brochure and spec sheet for the 2000X and 3000X. Dave Jones has a...

Currently developing a circuit that will have as its input device off-the-shelf (TV) remote controls. I initially planned on using the NEC p...

My objective in this design was to simply it as much as possible parts-wise--to minimize the number of discretes. The original design call...

Still using the same 555-relay circuit I did a "prequel" and monitored the propagation delay between S(et)-R(eset) inputs and 555...
