A tale of three bidirectional level shifters #Design #EE

Level shifters, voltage translators: whatever you call them, these devices are very handy when interfacing 5V and 3.3V logic for devices that aren’t 5V-tolerant. Steve on the Big Mess o’ Wires blog writes:The 74LVC244 has long been my go-to solution for unidirectional 5V to 3.3V level shifting, and for 3.3V to 5V I’ll typically do nothing, since ...

Adafruit.io WipperSnapper Adds No-Code Support for the MPL115A2 Barometric Pressure/Temperature Sensor

You now can use the MPL115A2 – I2C Barometric Pressure/Temperature Sensor with Adafruit.io WipperSnapper for pressure and altitude measurements, all without the need for writing a single line of code! This pressure sensor from Freescale is a great low-cost sensing solution for measuring barometric pressure. At 1.5 hPa resolution, it’s not as precise as our favorite pressure sensor, the BMx280 series, which has up to 0.03 hPa resolution (and works with WipperSnapper) so we don’t suggest it as a precision altimeter. However, it’s great for basic barometric pressure sensing.With WipperSnapper, you can effortlessly connect various components and sensors to any of the 20+ supported development ...

You now can use the AM2301B – Wired Enclosed AHT20 – Temperature and Humidity Sensor with Adafruit.io WipperSnapper for temperature and humidity measurements, without the need for writing a single line of code! More about the AM2301B: The AM2301B is a nice but inexpensive temperature and humidity sensor from the same folks that brought us the AM2302. In fact, this enclosed sensor looks an awful lot like the popular DHT22/AM2302 temperature and humidity sensors, but unlike classic DHT sensors, it has an I²C interface! This sensor has a typical accuracy of ±2% relative humidity, and ±0.3 °C at 20-80% RH and 20-60 °C. There is ...

With your standard 3V logic microcontroller, you can make 3Vpp with a PWM out or 6Vpp differential with two complimentary outputs. But what if you want even louder? Or if you’re using a piezo to sense distance using ultrasonic bounces?We found the nifty PAM8904, which is an amplifier specifically designed for driving piezo elements – and unlike audio amplifiers, it’s good for up to 300 KHz! It’s a switched-cap piezo driver that ...

You now can use the BMP390 – Precision Barometric Pressure and Altimeter with Adafruit.io WipperSnapper for pressure and altitude measurements, without the need for writing a single line of code! More about the BMP390 Sensor:The BMP390 is the next-generation of sensors from Bosch and is the upgrade to the BMP280 and BMP388 – with a low-altitude noise as low as 0.1m and the same fast conversion time. This sensor has a relative accuracy of ±3 Pascals, which translates to about ±0.25 meters of altitude (compare to the BMP280’s ±12 Pascal/±1 meter and BMP388’s ±8 Pascal/±0.5 meter).What is WipperSnapper?With Adafruit.IO and WipperSnapper Firmware, you can effortlessly ...

The Unconventional Time/Motion Studies of Mike Mandel #ArtTuesday

In the early 1900s, Frank and Lillian Gilbreth performed studies to analyze and refine workers’ movements. To record visual data on movement, they captures movements in a still image they called the chronocyclegraph by attaching pulsing lights to the workers’ hands and making 3-D, time-lapse images. This technique inspired Mike Mandel to use the same ...

Adafruit.io WipperSnapper Adds No-Code Support for the Sensirion SHT31-D – Acquire Temperature and Humidity Readings without Programming!

You now can use the Sensirion SHT31-D Sensor with Adafruit.io WipperSnapper for real-time Temperature & Humidity measurements, without the need for writing a single line of code! More about the Sensirion SHT31-D Sensor:Sensirion Temperature/Humidity sensors are some of the finest & highest-accuracy devices you can get. And, finally we have some that have a true I2C interface for easy reading. The SHT31-D sensor has an excellent ±2% relative humidity and ±0.3°C accuracy for most uses. We now use the version with a PTFE filter, it’ll stay clean while still allowing humidity measurements to work. Unlike earlier SHT sensors, this sensor has a true I2C interface, and (bonus!) even with two ...

More about the ST LPS25 Pressure Sensor:This absolute pressure sensor, ST LPS25HB can quickly and easily measure this air pressure, useful when you want to know about the weather (are we in a low pressure or high pressure system?) or to determine altitude, as the air thins out the higher we get above sea level. For example, at sea level, the official pressure level is 1013.25 hPa. You can use this sensor to measure the current pressure where you are right now, ...

Why the Japanese PC Failed

Neat new video from Asianometry that details the history of the Japanese PC (or, “microcomputer” as it was called back then). Initially, the chance for a domestically manufactured Japanese PC to flourish looked good, largely due to the challenge of adapting western PCs to handle the Japanese language and other eastern asian languages.
