In the 1980's all were fond of TV’s no matter what color picture it gave. Earlier TVs were powered by CRT’s - Cathode Ray Tubes. These TV’s were too heavy to lift. As time is passing, new technologies are emerging. After CRTs, LCD screens were introduced...
SOT23 vs SOT323 Overview SOT23 and SOT323 are both plastic and surface-mounted packages. SOT23 owns 3 terminals, 1.9mm pitch, 2.9mm x 1.33mm x 1mm body, while SOT323 boasts 3 leads, 1.3mm pitch, 2mm x 1.25mm x 0.95mm...
So if you've seen damn near anything I've done for the last 18 months then you've seen examples of using Reverse Mount LEDs and also manually mounting LEDs upside down. A sample of my projects from 2018, all using reverse mounted LEDsReverse Gullwing...
As noted in our previous column, in the not-so-distant future we’re going to start creating simple circuits using resistors and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), but we first need to learn enough about resistors to ensure we use the right ones when the occasion...
[2 April 2023] So I was researching into input devices, and I had an idea: what if there was a way to use the SpaceExplorer I have in a shelf as a 2D mouse? Hear me out here! The main reason it was in a shelf was because I didn't want...
A very old project. By using a single VU meter IC (LM3915?) and aanother IC that sequentially connects the columns of LEDs to ground (i.e.the time scale), the VU meter effectively "sweeps" across the waveform ina quick succession.
