I have been interested in LEDs since before blue or white LEDs were available and have always followed LED technology progress, so this road test was was going to be interesting even if I did not manage to be selected as a sponsored participant. Fortunately…
Traditional reflow systems use a conveyor that physically moves PCBs through various IR heated zones to achieve the desired time versus temperature profile, but this is not well suited to a (very) small prototype operation like my house. In my last blog…
This update in the LED Road Test explores reflow soldering of W ü r th Elektronik power LED s. Reflow systems generally try to use a temperature profile to heat the work up to soldering temperature. Here is a plot of a typical thermal profile: This profile…
This is my proposal for the LED Road Test+ sponsored by element14, Texas Instruments and W ü rth Elektronik - in case people are curious about what it took to get selected as a participant: LEDs have long been an interest of mine, in fact my first patent…
This blog shows the Vehicle Situational Awareness System installed on a vehicle and operating both at night and in the daytime. This picture shows the extra LED illumination panel plus the reversing-view video camera (to the left) and the ultrasonic distance…
