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...

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...
Recent comments by the creator Scott Adams have given ‘Dilbert’ distributor and book publisher a reason to drop the content.
I was and still am a fan of Dilbert cartoons. If you have worked in technology, the cartoons parody rea...
I was surprised to discover the points odometer on my account was approaching 100K. Should I be concerned? Is there any maintenance that needs to be done to keep the wheels from falling off?
I recall not to long ago the count was 30K less. I ha...
Developing electronic circuits often feels like solving a puzzle. And solving this puzzle could win you a Multicomp Pro Tablet Oscilloscope!
And while finding the basic application to make an IC do its magic is often quite easy, some questions often ...
Introduction
In this blog post Debugging the Turing-Welchmann Bombe I described an approach that I'd designed to take an analog signal from the Bombe and measure it over an isolation barrier. dougw suggested that an Analog Isolation Amplifi...
On the element14 Community, we know that our members come from all stages in their careers and learning. From starting out either for a specific project or in STEM education, or needing to demonstrate and practice their knowledge about...
Hello everyone.
Year 2022 is over, and I decided to summary all my activities and especially blog posts which I posted in 2022.
Design Challenges
My biggest contribution in 2022 was as part of competition and especially design challenges.
Experimenti...
I've not been as active as I'd have liked on E14 over the last year or so. That's something I hope to change. I've mainly been busy with a new job (with lots to learn), but also the change from Jive to Verint at the same time didn'...
Hey element14 Community, I have a small puzzle for you!
If you can solve it, you could win an Oscilloscope from Multicomp Pro (see link below for terms and conditions.)
The Puzzle Part 1 - Can you guess the device this PCB came from?
I took thi...
Hello Eveyone,
This is my first contribution since I went out into the garden around about 13th March'22 ( EyeBall Thingy ) to do some gardening and somehow didn't come back in until about now! I was out in the garden today for an h...
Looking back to my (few) posts in e14 community, I realized that I've spent more or less 4 years playing with motors. This has been a love-hate relationship for me, and I really can't count how many component I've smoked since then!...
