Digital Seven Segment Clock Gadget

This widget is to Inspire you or remind you of the traditional Digital Seven (7) Segment Clock. The javascript is as close as possible to a c program that you could write for a PIC processor, So then try and make a gadget which is 3D, using PIC or 8051.
Controlled Oven for stable Reference

This is a continuation of the previous two circuits. This circuit controls the temperature in a miniature oven that holds a stable dual voltage reference.
Optical obstacle switch with LM567

This is a simple toy that has many applications. Any object that breaks a light beam will trigger a relay to on condition for a period of time.
Universal Signal Conditioning Circuit

Here is a practical application of the dual differential amp. This circuit is for DC or slow moving DC like Strain Gauge and transducer signals.
Design Notes – Components Selection – 05

Selecting the parts for your product design, choosing the components intelligently is a part of Product Design Engineering. Budget, Availability, Size, Alternate Vendors, Product Life and Quantity to be manufactured are some factors that determine the selection by a prudent and experienced design professional.
RS232 Serial Port and Terminal Emulation

When you wish to Interface an Embedded System to your computer, you will need a Terminal Emulation Software to communicate with the device over the serial port.
Design Notes – Power Electronics – 02

Power Supplies and SMPS, Transformers, Drive circuits for Motors, Heaters and Solenoids are all Power Electronics. Thyristors, Mosfets and High Power Transistors are important components used in these circuits.
16 Channel Analog Multiplexer

This circuit is built around the chip CD4067, now called 74HC4067, it works like a single pole 16 throw rotary switch that can be controlled digitally.
Digital and Embedded Systems Design
