ADS131M08 8-CHANNEL SIMULTANEOUS SAMPLING DELTA-SIGMA (ΔΣ) ADC

Texas Instruments’ 24-bit, 32 kSPS ADC is optimized for cost-sensitive applications that require simultaneous sampling Texas Instruments’ ADS131M08 8-channel, simultaneously-sampling, 24-bit ΔΣ ADC offers wide dynamic range, low power, and energy-measurement-specific features. These features make the device ideal for energy metering, power metrology, and circuit breaker applications. The ADC inputs can be directly interfaced with a resistor-divider […]

Raspberry Carputer Infotainment System

Intro & Parts List This tutorial was designed to help you build an in-car infotainment system or carputer using a Raspberry Pi, and a few other components. The concept was something that I found when I got my first Raspberry Pi for a class, and was exploring some of the things that could be done

RADIO BUILD GOES OUTSIDE THE BOX

It’s easy to get caught up in a build and forget that the final version usually needs some sort of enclosure, especially things with sensitive electronics in them. The [Director of Legal Evil] at the LVL1 Louisville Hackerspace notes as much in his recent radio build. It seems as though the case was indeed an

RASPBERRY PI ZERO BEAMS BACK VIDEO FROM 100,000 FEET

The Project Horus team routinely launches high-altitude balloons in Australia. However, despite their desire for it, they haven’t beamed back live video. Until now. Horus 55 beamed video back to the ground from over 100,000 feet using a Raspberry Pi and some software-defined radio gear. Be sure and check out their video, below. You might think this

CREATE +/-12V SPLIT RAIL FROM A 5V BIAS

With digital semiconductor technology driving system power supplies to lower voltages for higher performance and lower system power, sensitive analog sensor circuits face a growing problem. Much of the inherent noise created in the early stages of an analog sensor signal path is independent of the amplifier bias voltage, so using a higher bias voltage

USB POWERED AUDIO AMPLIFIER USING MAX4298

USB powered mini speaker amplifier is conveniently powered by USB and it is simple to set up. USB powered speakers are convenient for listening to your media while at home or on the go. Conventional computer speakers that require an electrical outlet to work can be prohibitive because they force you to be close to

LOW COST HIGH ACCURACY STM32 FFT LCR METER

I have always wanted to build a fairly capable LCR meter that could cope with real world use in my own personal lab. This would mean reasonably good accuracy across a wide range of L, C and R. Fortunately, I got the time to do just that this year in the 3rd year Instrumentation module
