The first two parts of this blog series introduced the challenge of enabling Power Distribution Networks (PDN) to maintain a well regulated supply for sensitive components in a circuit, in the face of ...

If you’re going to learn digital logic, why not aim high? That’s what [Easton] and his friend did when they built a clock using only 4000-series logic chips. On a breadboard, no less. For a 1 Hz clock ...

Microaware’s Sandwizz, a schematic-configurable breadboard, hit 120% of its funding goal on Kickstarter on July 19, 2024. The KiCad freeware schematic capture tool is used to configure an active ...

Over the last year, the production of homebrew electronic badges for conferences has exploded. This is badgelife — the creation of custom hardware, a trial by fire of manufacturing, and a mountain of ...

This breadboard module is made to cater a PIC16F628A microcontroller for faster prototyping of circuits and avoid the initial microcontroller setup. This breadboard module is made to cater a ...

Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, taking the form of conductive plates separated by an insulating material ...

Back in the late 1960's, I experimented with DTL. That's not a misprint. DTL stands for diode-transistor logic and it was popular in “930-series” logic devices. I used wire-wrap or point-to-point ...
