USB-Cereal is a powerful, fully open source development tool that simplifies testing, development, debugging and manufacturing of devices using USB-C. Using the extended capabilities of USB-C, this unique hardware saves time and effort by simplifying debugging and factory log capture, as well as firmware update procedures.
Huge, shiny, beautiful video displays with thousands of LEDs have always been out of reach of enthusiasts and small business owners due to their high cost and complexity. Pixblasters MS1 changes all that.
The basic concept of this work is slightly different from standard tools such as a reflow oven or soldering iron. Heat is provided from the bottom of the PCB.
This awesome project comes from the nV-level measurement instrument challenge launched by xDevs. The project requirements are relatively difficult and only one author has completed it. The author has open sourced all project materials and provided detailed explanations (in English).
Inspired by the EEZ H24005 programmable power supply project, which has attracted many enthusiasts with its feature set, rich user interface, DIY friendliness and completely open source hardware and software design.
The core idea of USB portable programmable instruments is to provide electronic engineers and enthusiasts with a series of low-cost, portable, network-enabled, programmable, and open source practical tools. The multifunctional USB power supply is the first of its kind and is expected to complement traditional adjustable regulated power supplies.
The author is located in an area with a lot of convective weather and hot and humid weather. I stared at it silently, and saw that the clothes to be dried came in and out five or six times a day... Weather forecast on the mobile app? Weather warning text message? It can only be regarded as a late report. I am lazy, do it myself, have enough food and clothing...
The hardware is independently completed by the Raspberry Pi microcontroller RP2040, which costs 5 yuan a piece. Just close a trigger design baseboard designed by KiCAD. The software is created using VSCode + GCC + Cmake. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to use it. The firmware is upgraded using the U disk drag-and-drop method that comes with the Raspberry Pi chip.
The current design solution uses an 8-bit ADC chip ADC08100 and a 100M bandwidth front-end analog circuit. In fact, if you want to play, you can improve the indicators and use AD9288 or the domestic alternative MXT2088. One chip has two channels and achieves a 250M sampling rate through rapid alternating sampling.
ODrive is a high-performance FOC servo driver based on STM32. It can drive two brushless motors at the same time. In the early days, it was widely used in the design of 3D printers or homemade CNC lathe electrical systems. The well-known geek James Bruton used it as most of his own To make the core unit of the robot servo drive, Stanford's previous open source 8-degree-of-freedom quadruped robot Doggo also used Odrive as the core driver.
A practical heating table for PCB reflow soldering. It is quite cool. It may be the most beautiful and functional heating table on the market. Parameters: The hardware is based on the ESP32PICO-D4 chip, the input power is 24V/10A, the maximum power is 200W, and the heating temperature is up to 300°C. It has Bluetooth function. If I have time later, I will develop a mobile APP to set the temperature rise curve.
Reflow-Controller is designed to control different types of reflow ovens, hot plates, etc. It's based on the ESP32-S2, so it can be programmed to work with WiFi applications, but it also has an onboard OLED display and three buttons for use as a standalone solution.
The author noticed that the AC line frequency changes in spans of 0.4 Hz and periods of several minutes, so I wanted to examine long-term changes in AC line frequency and voltage. This is a project to build a line voltage frequency monitor. It is not a complete instrument but a simple measurement adapter designed to be embedded in some measurement system with a PC or microcontroller.
Have you ever wanted to install a security camera in your home, garden or office? Although commercial Wi-Fi security cameras on the market are not expensive, if you want to install multiple ones in different scenes or rooms, it will cost a lot of money. Young engineer Max can develop a wireless security camera based on Espressif's ESP32 chip with only $15.
Plant Bot is an open source project based on ESP32 that allows a single PCB to perform the functions of detecting humidity, watering, providing lighting, and controlling and communicating with the user via WiFi/BLE.
This BLDC motor driver board is capable of driving one BLDC motor, or one or two bidirectional DC motors (H-bridge configuration, cascaded to support a second motor) or up to three unidirectional DC motors (half-bridge configuration).
A phase compensation algorithm is used to compensate for the additional phase delay introduced by the multiplexed ADC, thereby producing an effect equivalent to a synchronously sampled ADC.
The software part of this tool (including the host computer) is not open source, but the schematic diagram and PCB related files are.
The Stanford Pupper is a four-legged robot designed to help K-12 and undergraduate students engage in exciting robotics research.
