  • Which Cloud Service should I use?

    satyavrat
      1. ThingSpeak :  Thingspeak was the first service I used to connect my device with the Internet, so maybe that's why it's first in the list. Considering the ones I used later on, ThingSpeak had perhaps the easiest learning curve to g...

  • What are Cloud Services? Analogical Understanding

    satyavrat
     If on the off chance that you are like me, you're an Instrumentation Engineer, "Jack of all trades" would probably be a very good description of your skills. The "Master of none" part though, is a bit iffy. It's in the four years that an Instru...

  • How to Use Processing and Arduino With a Moog Werkstatt 1 for a Simple "Oscilloscope".

    nelson.milum
    This isn't a particularly labour intensive tutorial, the hardest bit, the programming has already been done for us. Once we put it together and see the results, the fun will come in tweaking and playing with the code to see what other results we ...

  • Transistors: The Schmitt Trigger

    jc2048
    Another blog about transistors. This time, I fancied looking at a circuit rather than the characteristics of a device, so I'm going to look a circuit known as the Schmitt trigger. This is named after O. H. Schmitt, though his original circuit was...

  • Project Start- ToDD

    ljwalton09
    This post is to show that I am going to start on a project that I have been looking forward to for quite a long time. I want to build an Arduino robot that "learns" while it moves. By "learning" I mean that it find the layout of where it is moving an...

    Thank you for pushing me to start a new blog

  • Transistors: Vce Breakdown

    jc2048
    Another blog about transistors. As before, a quick qualification: this isn't teaching material, I'm just experimenting and followingmy curiosity where it might lead. It's all a bit ad-hoc and spontaneous - if I did it again it would be more organised...

  • GPIO: Displaying currency exchange rate on 7-segment indicators

    dmitry_slepov
    About the ApplicationThis tutorial is dedicated to the control of 7-segment LED indicators by means of a single Tibbit #00_1 and several shift register ICs (daisy-chained together).7-segment indicators are reliable and cheap LED devices which can dis...

  • Simple Card-based Access Control

    dmitry_slepov
    About the ApplicationThis project implements a very common access control device. The LTPS is equipped with Tibbit #08 (clock/data and Wiegand interface). It gets card codes from an external RFID card reader. The project lets you save user names and ...

  • CodeBug, first approach to schools

    jlangbridge
    The bell rang a few minutes ago, and somewhere in the dense mass of kids, my daughter is coming to see me. She thinks I’m coming to get her and take her home. She’s right, of course, but this afternoon, I have something I want to do first. Like a mag...

  • Thank You Element14

    computerguy101
    Thank you Element14 and Tariq Ahmad for the wonderful gifts, I appreciate it so much! It's so nice of you to hold contests like the "Bit by the Bug Challenge". I'm thinking about giving the CodeBug to my friend's 5 year old brother for his birthday, ...

  • LED Control From the Web Browser

    dmitry_slepov
    About the ApplicationThis is a simple application which enables the control of a GPIO line via a web browser. To toggle the line HIGH/LOW, click on a rectangle. This app can be used to control a relay Tibbit, a LED Tibbit, or some other "output" Tibb...

  • Bitten by the Engineering Bug
