Why Is There Only 1.5V on My 3.3V Power Pin?

Why Is There Only 1.5V on My 3.3V Power Pin?

A few days ago, a frustrating problem left me quite unhappy.The final solution was simple, but the problem itself had me deep in thought. I thought it was time to tidy up the messy breadboard circuit, as all the issues began at that point. (Note: These circuits are mainly used to drive my Cunning Chronograph). … Read more

DIY Piezoelectric Trigger Switch Circuit

DIY Piezoelectric Trigger Switch Circuit

The piezoelectric trigger switch circuit described here is a microcontroller-compatible impact sensor switch module operating on a 5V DC power supply. The entire circuit can be assembled on a standard 5×7 cm circuit board. The piezoelectric ceramic element (Pz1) can also be easily mounted on the PCB. This module provides a “logic” (H) output when … Read more

Design of a Dual-Inertial Guidance Pedestrian Navigation Hardware System with Foot Distance Assistance

Design of a Dual-Inertial Guidance Pedestrian Navigation Hardware System with Foot Distance Assistance

Abstract: In response to the application demands for high-precision indoor autonomous navigation and positioning for pedestrians, a wearable human motion measurement device prototype integrating Arduino and the Xsens Awinda inertial measurement suite has been designed. This system is easy to wear and highly reliable, achieving synchronous measurement of dual-foot IMU information and foot distance, supporting … Read more

When Lego Meets Arduino: Bluetooth Control for Proximity Control

When Lego Meets Arduino: Bluetooth Control for Proximity Control

A long time ago, in Denmark, there was a king named Harald Blatand, who unified the constantly quarreling tribes of Denmark into a complete nation. The king had a nickname called “blátǫnn,” which translates to Bluetooth in English. In ancient Nordic runes, the initials of the king’s name ‘H’ and ‘B’ are written differently than … Read more

Using Wire to Create a Circuit Board: An Innovative Approach

Using Wire to Create a Circuit Board: An Innovative Approach

PCB Network News Sharing an interesting piece of information: using wire to create a “circuit board”. I hope it inspires colleagues in the industry. What is Freeduino? It is an Arduino UNO board without any circuit board. It interconnects components using a technique called freeform, utilizing wires or copper instead of a circuit board. It … Read more
