With a reported sales figure of 2.6 million LED LCD TV in 2009, Samsung has high expectations for its LED LCD TV sales this coming year. Samsung expects a whopping 10 million LED LCD TV sales in 2010. Having said that, we [...]
SEGGER Microcontroller today announced a new member of its Flasher family, the Flasher STM8. The easy to use stand alone flash programmer supports the complete family of STM8 Microcontrollers from ST. With USB, Ethernet, and RS232 interfaces,
the Flasher STM8 can be easily integrated into a production environment.
Additionally, the programmer can be used stand-alone, which [...]
Panasonic announces battery that can store enough energy to power a house for a week. This could be interesting.
“We’ll be the first to bring to the market a storage battery for home use, which can store sufficient electricity for about one week of use,” said Fumio Otsubo, president of Panasonic, in a recent [...]
I just wanted to wish a happy new year to all our readers, and I am sure 2010 will be an awesome year for everyone.
This revolutionary technology is making TVs brighter and more colorful over a longer period of time.
Luminus LEDs used in Samsung, LG projectors
Luminus Devices has announced that its PhlatLight LEDs are powering two of the newest portable LED-based projectors, the Samsung P400 pocket imager and LG Electronics’ HS-102 ultra-mobile projector. Both projectors are lamp-free, weigh less [...]
“EMITER” Macedonian magazine for popularization and application of science and technique finaly have a web page you can view on this link: http://www.emiter.com.mk
The University of Tokyo developed the “organic flash memory,” a non-volatile memory that has the same basic structure as a flash memory and is made with organic materials. The erasing and reading voltages of the new flash memory are as low as 6V and 1V, respectively. Data can be written in and erased from [...]
Welcome to definitive guide to open source hardware projects in 2009. First up – What is open source hardware? These are projects in which the creators have decided to completely publish all the source, schematics, firmware, software, bill of materials, parts list, drawings and “board” files to recreate the hardware – they also allow any [...]
Atmel Corp. has released a new family of AVR® wireless microcontroller (MCU) devices targeting wireless applications such as ZigBee® and IPv6/6LoWPAN. The ATmega128RFA1 is IEEE 802.15.4 compliant and combines Atmel’s picoPower® AVR MCU and a 2.4 GHz RF transceiver. Atmel’s picoPower technology offers ultra-low power consumption to ultimately enable longer battery life for wireless ZigBee [...]

This project allows instant start sequentially but a dozen low-voltage lamps 12 V / 60 W, and makes them fade and always sequentially (but slower). This system has been designed to meet the demand of a visitor who wanted ten recessed low voltage spot in a driveway to his house, with the following function: – [...]
This circuit allows switching on a LED when the battery voltage (12V) drops below a certain threshold. The operating system is based on a comparison of tension, which comes in a zener diode. If the supply voltage is 12V and the zener diode is a 10V model (this is the case in the diagram), we [...]
This is a good looking and practical device that can be useful in many areas where countdown timer is needed. This project is based on the PIC16F84A microcontroller. The time range can be adjusted between 1 and 999 seconds. This project has 3 buttons and one of them is named Set Button. In order to [...]
A VU meter is often included in audio equipment to display a signal level in Volume Units; the device is sometimes also called volume indicator (VI). In this project we are building a basic and low cost LED VU Metre circuit . The extent (range) display is -18 dBu to +3 dBu, spread over [...]
Today we have a new category “Projects” and a new electronic project 12 Channel LED Chaser with PIC16F84A.
This project is based on the popular PIC16f84A micro-controller.The heart of this project LED chaser is the PIC16F84A PIC microcontroller.A 4MHz crystal and capacitors C1 and C2 22pf is used for providing clock pulses to the micro-controller. The [...]
