The Achilles Heel of the Mikroelektronika Hexiwear is its charging: the charging and USB connector are only designed for a limited number of plug-unplug cycles, and it does not have a wireless charging capability like the Apple I Watch. Until now! I have built a DIY wireless charging system for the Hex wear ? : …
Story The Tiny TS is a credit card sized (100x65mm) fully open-sourced synthesizer with a 1-octave capacitive touch keyboard. It has Audio/CV/Gate outputs and 6 synth parameter dials. The CV’s output 1V/oct and Gate from the keyboard. With the version 1.1 firmware it now also handles CV/Gate input from a sequencer. The synthesizer parameter knobs …
Spectral signature is a characteristic property of a material that represent how the matter interacts with an electromagnetic radiation at different wavelengths. By looking at the reflectance spectra of a material, scientists can not only retrieve vital information like the chemical composition and crystal structure of the material, but also the presence of any impurities or third element within it. …
This project is a departure from that of my normal sort. It is based around an operational amplifier (op-amp)… Yup I’ve transgressed to the dark side. Actually I have nothing against integrated circuits (IC) or solid state devices and in fact use a number of solid state components in my designs. This project is for …
This DIY Solder Paste dispenser is an easy project to build, so I thought I would share the details a bit with everyone! When possible I like to build my own tools, it makes sense especially when you have most of the parts on hand. There are a lot of tools that are just yak …
Have you ever wanted to send data from a sensor or project wirelessly? This simple circuit allows you to build your own wireless transceiver using two ICs, a transistor, and two resistors. The IC is from Me lexis and uses On-Off Keying modulation and can be battery powered. Here is the circuit. Read More: DIY …
Of the hundreds of projects I’ve shared over the years, none has attracted more attention than my DIY ECG machine on the cheap posted almost 4 years ago. This weekend I re-visited the project and made something I’m excited to share! The original project was immensely popular, my first featured article on Hack-A-Day, and today “ECG” …
