While Googling for nothing, I noticed a little device “USBtinyISP” helpful for programming Attiny85 microcontrollers using the same setup method as for handling Arduino sketches. There’s also no difference in the development environment as we […]
May it be a surprising title – Loafer’s LED Wick! Let it be, the article is nothing but the design idea of a little LED light based on Joule-Thief concept. It’s true that by a […]
Here is a simple yet highly reliable thermal control circuit which can be used with almost all electric geysers. The Arduino microcontroller based circuit switches an electromagnetic relay on or off according to the temperature […]
It’s damn sure, there’s plenty of old optical and magnetic disc drives (CD/DVD/HDD) in every electronics/hardware hobbyist’s junk box. Sadly it’s known to few people that such disc drives are rich and cheap sources of […]
In yesteryear I’d designed and developed an AC230V over voltage protector switch based on the popular PIC microcontroller PIC12F675 (shown below is the photo of that prototype). The electronic switch can be used to safeguard […]
Optical smoke alarms, also known as photo-electric smoke alarms, are particularly useful in bedrooms, lounges, hallways, and in other areas where we can otherwise expect false alarms from the common ionization smoke alarms. An optical […]
Recently I came to understand the true demand for a multi-purpose digital pulse counter. So I designed an east-to-build digital pulse counter circuit based on some generally available cheap electronic components. The quick microcontroller based […]
Water Pressure Sensor is not a familiar everyday sensor for most electronics hobbyists and makers, so here’s an introductory tutorial on a popular water pressure sensor – the DFRobot Gravity: Analog Water Pressure Sensor. In […]
Resistor color code indicates that a series of colored bands are painted on the resistor and most of the manufacturers identify their resistance value by means of a color code. There are various values of […]
Here’s a travel door sentry to safeguard your hotel room with a simple door sensor that will trip a warning alarm if anyone unlocks the door and intrudes. The battery-operated portable security device is very […]
