Low-duty-cycle LED flasher/indicator keeps power draw at 4 mW

Battery-operated equipment often will benefit from a power-on indicator.   The indicator, however, can waste significant power. In situations where a low-duty-cycle blinking indicator provides an adequate indication of the power being turned on, the simple circuit described here should prove useful. Figure 1 Q1 and Q2 function as a current source and push a …

The 6502 chip explained down to the silicon

The 6502 CPU’s overflow flag explained at the silicon level  In this article, I show how overflow is computed in the 6502 microprocessor at the transistor and silicon level. I’ve discussed the mathematics of the 6502 overflow flag earlier and thought it would be interesting to look at the actual chip-level implementation. Even though the …

Make a Variable Resistor boxes with 1 Million Settings

College physics lab we got to use these variable resistance ‘boxes’. They had two inputs and six dials, and could generate one million different resistances across the two inputs. I knew I had to have one, and why not make it myself? This tutorial demonstrates how to build one for yourself for pretty cheap. Materials: …

SMART MARBLES AND AI TO DETECT FLAWS IN PIPELINES

A small team of researchers led by Peter Baltus, professor of microelectronics at the department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven Institute of Technology, the Netherlands, has developed small circuit boards equipped with sensors that can easily fit into a small golf-sized ball. While moving inside a pipeline, these swarm of smart marbles or balls can detect any obstacles, damages …
