Hi, It took me a while to finish this video, I was busy with a big project and then I messed up the audio on the recording. I'll upload more videos soon showing the different parts and their functionalities and then I'll discuss my ideas fo...
The project I want to build during this roadtest is a Visible Light Communication (VLC) system between a LED driven by the TPS92512 board and an Android smartphoneThe idea behind VLC is very simple: light bulbs are pervasive, have ample access to pow...
While waiting for parts to help with the rest of this road test I thought I would build a more complex demonstration of 3D printed objects for intricate lighting applications. This concept/ example is an interactive trophy - I think it would be prett...
Another application category highlighted in this road test is Wearable Interactive Lights. The specific example I want to demonstrate in this blog is how we can use the BLE LED module in an iconic Iron Man type Arc Reactor. There have been many...
I received the Kit a week back but was unable to upload the video due to internet Issues. Finally here it is...www.youtube.com/watch So my prohhject is simple a 4 channel LED Driver which is Wi-Fi Enabled. Sounds simple and it should be as well...
I finally managed to scrounge enough apparatus together to run a full demonstration of the BLE LED module from TI. I have not had much time to explore the TI BLE Multitool App, but there is a first look at it here. This first demonstration provides i...
Hello everyone, After all hassles of custom clearance of my package I have got it here and excited to unbox with you guys... First of all thanks to Texas Instruments, Würth Elektronik and Element14 for this amazing Roadtest and selecting me to d...
First, I would like to say thanks to element14, Texas Instruments, and Würth Elektronik for selecting me to participate in this Roadtest+. The application I have in mind is a:Machine Vision LED lighting controller. Introduction LED Lig...
Everyone is familiar with LEDs and an LED road test is going to need more than just turning them on to be of interest. The road test kit includes devices with a unique feature set and this road test will attempt to present a variety of potentia...
Well i unboxed and recorded this video a week ago and although it leaves a lot of room for improvement it is really my first attempt at making videos not to mention work has been insane the last week but i promise i will be bringing plenty of good co...
I first want to thank Texas Instruments and Element14 for having me as part of this road test. This is just a quick update on issues that I have encountered (My own fault but easy mistakes).First, I'm using Windows 10 and had to disable the driv...

LED Road Test - Unboxing - Blog 1 (2015-11-01)
Who would have thought that electrons passing by some impurities in a semiconductive crystal would convert some of their electrical energy into light? In 1907 Henry Joseph Round discovered electrolumines...
Hello All I am over the moon to be one of the lucky 10 to be selected for the TI and Würth Elektronik LED RoadTest+ and when i applied i had a lot of ideas but i realized that if i want to be accepted for future roadtest and reviews i really need to ...
This is a road test review of the Cypress Semiconductor CY8CKIT-044CY8CKIT-044 PSoC 4M Pioneer Kit I did this before I realized there was a proper road test form - so the Road Test Form is here: Thank you to Cypress Semiconductor and element14 ...
I’ve always had an interest in astronomy at least ever since Haley’s comet came close to earth in 1986. My brother bought me a small telescope and I tried to find that comet, unsuccessfully. Since then, I’ve never really liked going outside and...
This is a continuation of the review of the U1461A Keysight Insulation Resistance Handheld meter. In this post I take them apart down to the main PCB and give you a tour in detail, Identifying the components where possible (Where I can find them...
G'day everyone, This will be my final blog post before I begin to write the road test review. In this particular video that I have created I have looked at all the electrical functions of the multimeter including Earth Bond, and insulation resis...
G'day everyone, This was only extremely spontaneous test that I needed to do and I thought this is a great opportunity to test the logging feature using my Android phone with the Keysight U1461A Insulation Multimeter and the U1117A Bluetooth ser...
Welcome back, Further advanced into my review of the Keysight Insulation Meter U1461A and it's turning out to be quite nice meter. I've managed to determine that it has a surprising level of resolution running up to 99,999 counts although that i...
Greetings everyone, For myself this has been a very eventful couple of weeks since I last posted the initial review. I unfortunately became so unwell I had to visit the hospital and was basically out of commission for a little while. I have two ...
This is a follow-on from the initial review which can be found hereSoftware UpgradeWhen we were checking the Keysight website documentation, it was noted there was a firmware upgrade available.As shipped the meter had ver 1.09, and the new version is...
