Homemade PCB (Etching)

The goal of this tutorial is to teach you how to take a circuit drawn in a fabrication program like Altium or Eagle and make it a real-life PCB. To accomplish this we will need about $20-25 and a few hours of spare time. Source: pyroelectro

Temperature led for Weller WTCPs

An indicator is nice, but how to implement that? Because all the intelligence of the heat regulation happens inside the soldering iron, the station itself is just a big 230->24V-transformer and an on/off-switch. Running an extra wire to the soldering iron to sniff out its status wasn’t an option. There is another way to get [...]

LEDs replacing CCFL backlight

Most old PDAs use CCFLs as backlights. While such a PDA itself can still be quite useful, the backlight sometimes is old or damaged. You can, however, replace it with a more modern and power-friendly solution: white leds. To do that in a power-efficient way, a bit more is needed, though. Source: spritesmods

Oscilloscope Tutorial

An oscilloscope is a type of electronic test instrument that allows signal voltages to be viewed, usually as a two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical potential differences (vertical axis) plotted as a function of time or of some other voltage (horizontal axis). Although an oscilloscope displays voltage on its vertical axis, any other quantity [...]
