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
