The overall structure of this design is roughly composed of a main control module, a current signal sampling module, a power module and a serial port output module. In this article, the main control chip uses a microcontroller model STM32F103RC, which makes the structure as small as possible while ensuring the current sampling accuracy. It is as simple as possible, avoids complex and changeable circuit layout, is more convenient for PCB board production, and is relatively low-cost. Among them, in the design of the sampling conditioning circuit, a current transformer is used to sample the current signal.
Lite3DP is a micro 3D printer that uses high print quality, virtually silent MSLA technology. It is the first of its kind to be completely Arduino-based, is open source, and comes in an easy-to-assemble kit format. It is a simple machine designed for experimentation to provide an in-depth and complete understanding of its operation. It can be placed on almost any table or in any workshop. MSLA resin 3D printing technology can achieve stunning levels of detail and surface finishes that are far superior to what can be achieved with filament 3D printers – primarily by using screen-cured resins such as LCDs on Lite3DP. Although 3D printers with MSLA technology are already available at similar prices to filament printers, they are closed-source projects that eschew one of the most valuable features of modern 3D printing - accessibility.
Pulse electronic blood pressure monitor based on STM32 (schematic + program)
Quark based on ESP32 is an open source electronic tool that integrates electronic measurement probes and debugging tools. It has a wireless connection function and can be connected to APP.
Flirting with jumper caps is a common practice on most boards, but not this board, which is designed to replace all those wires with an analog switch matrix. All one has to do is plug in the device and make a virtual connection on the accompanying GUI. There are also many built-in functions such as DAC and ADC, and the circuit can be switched under the prototype as needed. It also has some LEDs embedded in the breadboard area that light up and provide visual cues that they are connected to each other.
This is an original work by netizen jiezhi320 who participated in the RT-Thread application competition. In 2015, jiezhi320 made a version of hardware based on stm32f405rgt6. However, due to the high CPU usage of the UKF algorithm, the author migrated it to imx-rt1052, in order to leave enough resources for everyone to develop in-depth for model friends.
There is a risk of electric shock and fire with this project! Light bulbs are essential devices in our lives. Incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs are typical light bulbs for household lighting fixtures. For industrial and public purposes such as street lighting, large indoor lighting, sports field lighting and any outdoor activities, apart from these bulbs, HID (High Intensity Discharge) lamps are also widely used. Typical HID lamps used for this purpose are high pressure sodium, metal halide, and mercury lamps. The last one has been banned in 2021 by the Minamata Convention on Mercury. Fixtures with incandescent and fluorescent bulbs, long used for home lighting, became obsolete within 10 years of the widespread adoption of LED lights, and currently offer only replacement bulbs. Low-wattage HID lamps are also gradually being replaced by LED lamps. High-wattage HID lamps still dominate the mainstream of large-scale lighting because the advantages of LED lamps at this level are smaller. Like many LED geeks, I built an LED fixture because it was rare, but when it became commonplace it stopped being fun. On the other hand, my nostalgia for the disappearance of glass tubes from our lives increased and I started collecting HID lamps as a light bulb geek. However, having only light bulbs makes no sense. In order to light a HID lamp, a lamp ballast rated for each bulb is required. Therefore, I designed and built an electronic HID ballast that can light a variety of HID lamps.
Using Raspberry Pi pico (rp2040) as logic analyzer and oscilloscope with sigrok
This design mainly explains the circuit and software design of the node equipment, coordinator equipment and gateway equipment in the greenhouse, completes the front-end and back-end interaction between the web page and the WeChat applet, and completes the data transmission test and communication distance test.
When the temperature is lower than the set threshold, the corresponding indicator light lights up and the corresponding relay is closed. The relay can drive the load (fan, refrigeration plate, heating tube, etc.). When the temperature is higher than the alarm value, the sound and light alarm will sound. The keys are setting keys, plus key and minus key. The alarm value and temperature control range can be set, the temperature measurement range is 0 to 99.9 degrees Celsius, and the accuracy is 0.1 degrees Celsius.
μSMUs are not meant to replace precision SMUs, but to complement them in cost-sensitive areas where accuracy is not required.
The portable soldering iron launched by PINE64 in the early days was based on the GD32 design. This time it was upgraded to the second generation product, which was changed to the domestically produced BL706. Its feature is that it supports low-power Bluetooth. The Bluetooth OTA upgrade function will be added to IronOS later. IronOS supports a variety of portable DC, QC, and PD powered soldering irons, and supports all standard functions of smart soldering irons.
The SMU is a precision power supply device that can measure not only high-resolution voltage sources but also high-resolution current sources. It also integrates bipolar voltage and four-quadrant output functions to facilitate testing of various characteristics. By providing a linear sweep voltage and sweep current, the IV characteristic curve of the instrument can be obtained.
A distance monitor based on ESP8266 can remind people to maintain appropriate social distance at any time during the COVID-19 epidemic to prevent the spread of the virus.
Nowadays, almost all circuit boards use surface mount packaging, so I have always wanted to DIY a chip placement machine. After searching online for a long time, I finally decided to use the open source OpenPnP. The hardware and software are both open source.
