A version of thie article appeared in the February 2012 issue of Test & Measurement World. See the PDF. Many industrial systems use the 4–20-mA loop to transmit measurements from sensors to displays, ...

This idea describes an MCU interface for a 1-Wire temperature sensor interface that offers high accuracy while using less board space. The circuit can be modified for use with any 1-Wire device. The ...

This circuit solved a problem encountered in developing a portable device with an ARM Cortex-M0 processor. The power supply consisted of two AA batteries (2 × 1.5 V), and I needed to signal the user ...

This is a simple and very effective project circuit which helps to control the speed of a DC motor using pwm and microcontroller. In many applications, it is important to control the speed of DC motor ...

In last week's installment, we showed how to get started with Csound. This week we take it to the next step by constructing a homemade MIDI controller circuit and use the new device to control Csound ...
