This Speaking Calculator project is an interesting device built just by three chips that can be very useful to blind people. The system has four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), and the functions: clear all, change of sign (+/-), inverse (1/x), square root (v), pi number (p), add with memory (M+) and read from memory […]

ADC (Analog to digital converter) is a commonly used peripheral. We use it everyday to interface with several analog sensors. Many times a nice visualization of ADC data is required during learning about new sensors. For example you just bought a analog sound sensor, and try to do some fast experiments that how it performs.
Here is a nice and entertaining project created by http://www.ermicro.com . The author has a very good programming, teaching, drawing and artistic skills. The tutorial is well planned and executed. I really liked the RGB LED and Sound show given at the end. I will try it and tell how it works. Till then you can read

Introduction This project came about when I needed to perform some reliability tests on some headphones according to IEC 268-7. The test requires operating the headphones at their rated input power for a number of hours using clipped pink noise, and muting the noise periodically during the test. There are plenty of white noise generators

Its pocket sized, but not intended to be used that way because the antenna is a highly directional ferrite loopstick. Its only a matter of luck that there was room for all the components on the board, which

History I decided to do this project for several reasons: first I like music, second I have a huge collection of MP3, and third I wanted to be able to play them anytime in my living room. I began the project with one major restriction, the printed circuit board of MP3 player MUST be single

Introduction The WhereAVR is a small, lightweight, low-power, and low-cost APRS tracker with a full compliment of analog and digital I/O, as well as the ability to decode ax.25 packets. This allows for the reception of remote commands without the need for a “real” TNC. It is designed to hook directly to the speaker and

This Instructable explains how to use a gas sensor with your Arduino. This lets your Arduino smell (and hence you program responses to) overall gas levels for a variety of nasties, including ethanol, methane, formaldehyde, and a bunch of other volatile organic compounds. My cost to make this actual device was under $100, including the

I’ve always been interested in monitoring my local weather, and noticed the difference between what weather.com and accuweather.com think my local weather is, and what I see out the window. I also wanted better control over my heating and A/C system. As a computer and electronics nut, I’ve been playing with the Arduino Microcontroller, and decided
