Congratulations to our winners who have experimented, tested, or built a circuit with the MAX40080 by Maxim Integrated, a high-precision, fast-response, bi-directional digital current-sense amplifier.
Hello everyone.
Today I received Grand Prize which I won in recently concluded Experimenting with Current Sense Amplifiers Design Challenge . It started with hand drawing schematic of experiment plans like on following photo almost three months ago…
While I had hoped to do more, unfortunately, because of time constraints arising from work commitments and the fact that the challenge is due to end, this will be the final blog in the series. It wouldn’t be a complete challenge if I didn’t get around…
We have completed the Experimenting with Current Sense Amplifiers Design Challenge, sponsored by Maxim Integrated - ADI, and featuring its MAX40080 Precision, Fast Sample-Rate, Digital Current-Sense Amplifier. Overall, we had 10 participants with 9 finishers…
Hello everyone.
I welcome you to my last summary blog part when I want to conclude this contest, summarize what I have done and summarize what I have learnt.

As part of contest, I published 14 blog posts (+ this one). This is 7× more…
Sensing Current for a Safer 3D Printer
Today's consumer 3D printers have slowly become safer in terms of common problems like thermal runaway detection. They still use a relatively high-current heating element in the nozzle, bed, and possibly enc...
Introduction of myself
I am a Full-Time Electronic Product engineer in the profession. I am always eager to learn about new technologies. during The Weekends I will Do Experiments On Electronics and I will post them in the Open source communitie...
In this blog, I present what I will be doing for the Experimenting with Current Sense Amplifiers design challenge. For the Just Encase design challenge I made a LoRa controlled rover that had 4-wheel drive with gearboxes that used rubber bands so they can slip. My plan is to upgrade the gearboxes to geared version, but keep the motor and driver safe using the provided current sensor as well as try doing some more precise…
In my introduction blog, I indicated that implementing block detection is something I have been giving some thought to. If the Current 6 Click solution meets the requirements, I will need to have a connection mechanism that will enable the de...
Before nodding off in the early AM, I was rolling around the connection I proposed to measure the motor current using for the Current 6 Click sensor. Even when this challenge was in it's infancy, I made posts that reflected my uncertainty of how to c...
Three blog posts in one day, what gives? We are currently in the grips of a snow storm that has closed roads and businesses. I have the time so why not blog with it.
This post is designed to provide some details around physically assembling the two M...
After receiving the notice that I was part of this challenge, the shipper UPS, has been sending me emails regarding delivery dates. They have over promised and under delivered on the date that I would receive the shipment. I got an email that E1...
The goal of this challenge is to use the MAX40080 Current Sense Amplifier to detect the locomotive of a model train passing over a section of track rail.
In model railroading, determining if there are rail cars on a section of track is called Block...
