RFID modules SL102 and SL500A are readily usable and provide many useful functions. Similarly like in other segments of electronics, even at RFID you have a possibility to assemble a target device from components themselves, from modules, or to use a complete ready-made module, which is pluggable to a PC, often already with a SW [...]
A clap switch is a fun project for beginners. It switches on and off electrical appliances with a sound of clapping hands. Today we will discuss about making a simple clap switch that operates when it detects two clapping sounds in a row. It uses an electret microphone as a transducer for converting a clapping [...]

It switches on and off electrical appliances with a sound of clapping hands . Today we will discuss about making a simple clap switch that operates when it detects two clapping sounds in a row . It uses an electret microphone as a transducer for converting a clapping sound into an electrical signal . The microcphone output is amplified by a transistor and is then sent to the PIC12F683 microcontroller which performs an ON OFF switching action when valid claps are . detected Simple clap switch using a condenser mic and PIC
Our friend Vassilis decided to build his own manual Pick & Place machine to facilitate his work with 0402 SMD and other fine pitch parts. He used plywood, a pen microscope and a vacuum pump to build this dirty cheap Pick and Place manual machine: If you are dealing with tiny SMD parts (e.g. 0402 [...]
