Get ready to make a smart badge or a simple wearable device such as a wristband, lanyard or watch-style device for your smart kids. And, introduce your kids to electronics and microcontrollers without them even […]
Not long ago, I played around with making an overheat sensor siren on the Arduino Uno, which I later modified a bit and incorporated into another hobby electronics project. Needless to say, it worked fine. […]
The goal of this little post is to share an idea to build your own robust mud water detector using readily available inexpensive electronics components. Although unintentional, the sensor component in this design concept is […]
I think you’re all familiar with the various Chinese sensor modules based on the LM393 IC. That’s good, but at this point I’ll share the design idea of an LM358 IC based variable threshold solid […]
I recently picked up a bunch of minuscule Chinese USB LED Lamps. You’ve seen these amazing gizmos before, I’m sure, under a variety of names in places ranging from local street merchants to online electronics […]
A while back, I got an inquiry via email about building a simple electronics circuit to monitor the status of an analog sensor i.e., whether it is open or working properly. After a little discussion, […]
There is nothing amazing about looking at the design concept of a simple USB LED lamp, I know. But believe me, the midget USB LED lamp presented here has a little power reservoir in the […]
A few weeks ago, while working on another project, someone asked me to build a simple sweeping system for a tiny webcam. I set it aside for the next day and built a webcam servo […]
This post is a quick introduction to resettable PTCs (PPTCs). A polymeric positive temperature coefficient device (PPTC) is a passive electronic component used to protect against overcurrent faults in electronic circuits. Simply put, a PPTC […]
The most popular, cheap fan motor module that’s available on Chinese webstores is the L9110 Fan Motor Module. At some webstores you can see this module is listed as a “Fan Module with Propeller and […]
