Some of you have already participated in what we call an Experimenting with Components Design Challenge . If you haven't already, it's pretty easy. Here's how it works: The supplier and I talk about an electronic/electrical component that would be a good…
You may have seen these on blogs/documents/content: It allows you to rate the content on a scale of 1-5 out of stars. I've heard good and bad reasons for keeping these (publicly) viewable and I'm looking into how we can do something about it. A lot of…
To each their own, we have our own element14 Community staff members who are quite happy to treat it as another day, however we all have our own rituals and routines that we do each year in one way or another, so what if any of these are yours for the…
Hi All. We are planning a video on the topic of high-speed connectors. In the past these types of connectors were used primarily in high cost, Big Data equipment, and not necessarily in the toolbox of your average engineer. But today, we are seeing their…
This poll is embedded in Round-Up and Review - What's Happening? Have you used audio sensors for more than voice? Perhaps to profile mechanical devices, maybe heart rate/beat, or perhaps as part of security or ultrasonic?
This poll is embedded within Round-Up and Review - What's Happening? Have you tried to look for an evaluation board or micro-controller or otherwise to work as part of your project, only to discover you need to flesh out more of a solution and design…
element14 is planning a Building/Automation/HVAC webinar. I wanted to get a sense of what areas of engineering do our members have in the BA/HVAC industry?
There are types of selection on choosing IDE for embedded development. But for Infineon XMC series, library compatibility and availability of demo examples shall be taken into acount. Question : Which IDE to be used in Infineon XMC MCU development.
I have a need to know or get an idea of what percentage of the element14 community is directly or indirectly involved in manufacturing engineering. By directly involved I mean someone who works at a manufacturing or fab plan and is involved in engineering…
I'm struggling here. It's 31.3degC in my room and I'm sticking to my chair. Ice cubes last milliseconds and it almost feels like nothing is helping! I feel like I should be able to McGuyver a solution out of random hardware to get somewhere, though I…
We're celebrating all of the fantastic feats of female engineers around the world with International Women In Engineering Day 2020 coming up...And that got us thinking about our favorite female engineers in fiction! There was a comment on the post of…
I realise that I perhaps don't prototype how I should. Often some of the components are plug and play, or I just rebuild the circuit every time with a breadboard, but with my larger projects I've realised that I do need to document them in some manner…
When it comes to electronics solder/repair, there's a very good reason why we have pick and place machines, and ovens to effectively bake our hardware. However if you're in a pinch and don't have this kit available, you're often forced to do it yourself…
We have a lot of different types of hardware in RoadTests & Reviews , however we tend to err on the side of electrical engineering and design engineers, are we right to do so? Let us know so we can offer up the hardware that you want to see tested. This…
There have been many robots in television and films, which one depicted in fact or fiction has been or is your favourite? As seen in Round-Up and Review - Videos, News and Polls!
On the element14 Community we sometimes post about current and past technological news articles that're hitting the press. Our resident blogger Catwell posts these weekly to the site, and has done for quite a while! However what kind of news do you find…
Realistically robots haven't quite hit the ideal bipedal movement, so how do you prefer your robotic drones to move for your projects? This poll is featured in the recent Round-Up and Review - Projects, News and Polls! - so check it out!
I learned by watching, and then trial and error, I suspect some of you may have had a more professional approach? This poll is featured in the recent Round-Up and Review - Projects, News and Polls! - so check it out!
From a control perspective, most of this equipment is very similar, but which one do you particularly want or need to use for your projects? This poll is featured in the recent Round-Up and Review - Projects, News and Polls! - so check it out!
How do you prefer to present outputs from your projects? Using audio, video, or controlling a dial or meter? This poll is featured in the recent Round-Up and Review - Projects, News and Polls! - so check it out!
We currently have this poll running on Twitter, so I figured I'd have it here as well for those who don't follow @e14Community ! So - did you know we have an eBook collection available for free to download? Let us know which is your favourite theme from…
Silicon has been the tried and true semiconductor material for decades. With the advantage of being inexpensive, plentiful and relatively easy to manufacture, it's hard to beat silicon as the go-to semiconductor material for electronic components. But…
While some people go all out and create art with PCB Art: The Great Wave off Kanagawa , which one are you learning? - be sure to check out Round-Up and Review - Projects, News and Polls
Thanks to Blockchain - Hyperledger Burrow: set up a distributed ledger we can see how to practically setup blockchain ledgers, but what do you make of it? - be sure to check out Round-Up and Review - Projects, News and Polls
