This blog actually is not a blog. I use it for linking all my (misaz’s) blogs on single public place and single page. Additionally, I picked some blogs which I consider somehow outstanding and/or interesting. Date at the beginning of line is da...
Hi all,
I lucked out on Monday.
The day opened with full sunshine and warm temperatures.
As the time neared, we had some high altitude cirrus clouds, but visibility was still good, so I drug out my telescope and set it up.
I invited some of the neig...

I went on a Caribbean cruise and all I got was this lousy token!
The token is used to access all guest services on the ship. It was provided in a lanyard when we boarded. Entering and leaving cabins required the token. Entering a leaving the ship re...
Dear element14 Community members,
As we complete another release tonight and I reflect on my journey with Avnet/Premier Farnell, I'm filled with a profound sense of gratitude and pride. It's hard to believe that this Friday, March 1, marks the end of...
Thanks E14 and Sean for the nifty cable tester just for attending a raspberry pi webinar that I wanted to learn from anyway.
I shall never have to try to stick a fat meter probe into an ethernet connector pin again.
Intro
This is another example of using both inputs and outputs of the Analog Discovery 3 to test a circuit.
This example also uses a TI LM2907 frequency-to-voltage converter chip but it is configured as a capacitance to voltage converter. I...
Intro
As part of the Analog Discovery 3 road test, I want to show examples of using both its waveform generator and its oscilloscope at the same time with a real circuit.
This example uses an TI LM2907 (developed by National Instruments before they w...
Introduction
Earlier in the holiday contest project Activity Tracker, I have mentioned that I will explain the steps involved in creating the ML model using the MPU6050 sensor data. In this blog we will see how to send the sensor data to cloud and de...
Hello Element14 community!
2023 is over and it is time to conclude it. In this blog I would like to summarize my participation on Element14 Community last year.
Previous Year Summary
One of the first blog which I posted last year was equivalent to th...
2023
The year of the rabbit (peace and prosperity) - I don't think I would would characterize it as such, but at least December was a bunny month for me - posting 11 blogs in one month. The world may have entered a depressing phase, but element14 con...
Intro
I am road testing a Digilent Analog Discovery 3 which included a BNC Adapter accessory module. The adapter connects to the Analog Discovery module via a 30 pin header, but there are no other mechanical fasteners to stabilize the connection. BNC...
A couple of weeks ago I posted my BD9G500EFJ-EVK-001 RoadTest review. It has been a fantastic experience, but I left untouched one very specific topic that I would like to cover: loop frequency response. I've never attempted a frequency response meas...
It is time to get started on my annual element14 activity summary. These summaries have proven to be very useful in allowing me to access all my old content. I haven't stopped to think about what all this activity means but maybe after I finish ...
Intro
In the last bog I explored displaying text in 2 different ways:
a 2 channel vertical split
and an X-Y plot
This time I am exploring displaying text as a raster image (composite video) on the Digilent Analog Discovery 3.
Digital scopes ar...
Intro
I was selected to road test a Digilent Analog Discovery 3, and the kit has arrived. I will post a couple of blogs as I learn a bit about this instrument before diving in to do the actual road test.
The Analog Discovery 3 is a brilliant de...
Hello all.
Fresh from my first ever roadtest, I decided that could be a good idea to share a bit of personal experience with other members who would like to apply to the RoadTest program but didn't have luck until now. To me, it required a fair a...
The first set of fairy lights I purchased a few years ago had a very rudimentary embodiment. Just two AA batteries, an on/off switch, and a string of miniature LEDs on enamel wire.
I love the simplicity of the design... The design works well en...
Hello element14 community.
In this blog I would like to share and describe how to show pictures on oscilloscopes. I used this technique for testing new oscilloscopes. At element14 community I shown it first time when received my first MP720644 tablet...
I'm having fun experimenting with an ADALM1000. Whilst its spec is nothing like that of a professional SMU, it is an interesting way to explore the world of electronics, though with a certain level of frustration when it gets difficult to do things t...
Product Name: SteamBook
Overview: SteamBook is a unique and innovative laptop that operates using steam power. This laptop is perfect for people who love to explore the intricacies of technology and the past. With its steam-powered engine, SteamBook...
Product Name: TimePi
Overview: TimePi is a revolutionary new product that combines the power of a Raspberry Pi with the ability to travel through time. With TimePi, you can explore the past, present, and future like never before. Whether you're a...
When I first decided to dive into the world of electronics, I had no idea what I was getting into. As a neuroscientist with a passion for technology, I knew that understanding the inner workings of electronic devices would be crucial to my work. So...
Without any question, my favorite passive component is the humble capacitor. For many of us, our first introduction to capacitors is learning that there are two types: non-polar and polarized. The next lesson we learned is that you do not want to app...
Just a bit early, but Portland is doing it's Shamrock Run this morning and it reminded me to do something for St. Patrick's Day. We have our corned beef and cabbage, so we're ready for Friday .
I recently bought a ESP32-S...
