Seeking suggestions for temperature switches I have an application where I'd like to turn a fan on and off based on a hardwired temperature. The ideal device would have three pins: Vcc, GND, and output, where... |

Odd array index behavior I'm having this problem in Arduino, but I don't get much help over on the arduino.cc forum, so I thought I'd try over here. After all, there IS an AVR in there () and I... |

Fine tuning a crystal in code I’m thinking of making a clock (which would always be subject only to room temperature) using a 32.768 kHz xtal driving a counter. The xtal has 20 ppm frequency tolerance which I... |

Seeking easiest way to add Bluetooth to an embedded design I'd like to dip my toe into the Bluetooth pool by making a clock that is settable via BLE. I know it's overkill, but I'd like to keep the application as simple as possible... |

How to cool a small amount of air? I have a project that requires me to cool about a cubic foot of air from room temp down to around 40 degrees F. There are several products on the market that might be able... |

Seeking battery performance data in ultra low-power (uW) applications I'm considering a design that would be activated by a capacitive touch switch. The switch circuitry would be the only thing drawing power most of the time at 34uA and 3V.... |

Simulating uint64_t I have an ATMega128A application where I need to shift a field of 12 1s through a 40-bit long number, one bit at a time. It seems to me the easiest way to do this would be to use... |

Bench supply vs. chassis supply problem I'm building a system based on an ATMega128A. My board (which only draws about 25 mA) works fine when running off my bench supply's 5V. When I switch to the chassis... |

Selecting a zener diode for solenoid flyback suppression I'm low-side driving a 24V, 1.2A DC solenoid with a 30V MOSFET. I'd like to protect the MOSFET with a zener diode across the source and drain (cathode to drain, anode to source).... |
