Today’s goodie is an iPad app. A cool iPad app, designed for iPad not “iPad compatible”. It is from National Instruments: Multisim Circuit Explorer.
There are good tools and poor tools. Weller WD 1000 M is a state-of-art quality instrument that looks good, feels good, has a plethora of gimmicks and is a pleasure to work with. Let’s find out some more about my new soldering station.
The MAX17058/MAX17059 ICs are tiny fuel gauges for lithium-ion (Li+) batteries in handheld and portable equipment. The MAX17058 operates with a single Li+ cell and the MAX17059 with two Li+ cells in series…
A customized Application Test Library is created for testing the specifications introduced in this measurement handbook. They can be downloaded from the Agilent web site.
Inspired by this project for RFMB12 and needing a similar one for my Mac, I started to build one myself: Next – a version for iPad. Stay tuned. 😉
Keysight’sAgilent’s InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series Oscilloscopes Programmer’s Guide is highly recommended for anyone interested in remotely controlling KeysightAgilent InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series Oscilloscopes. Via back USB slot. For example: Unfortunately, the [remote] control is limited only to Win PCs. AFAIK. Have to write a review soon about the cool KeysightAgilent Connection Expert, the client app installed together with the KeysightAgilent […]
Today I started to complete the design of the RF12B Breakout Board for various prototyping.
A very thorough and useful reference produced by Ron Mancini at Texas Instruments. A must read for anyone takes OpAmps seriously: “OpAmps for Everyone”
I decided a need a new theme for this blog. Rolled my sleeves and started to work.
With the release of their latest OS, Lion, Apple dropped support for FTP activation via System Preferences → Sharing. As all my wordpress developments are tested locally on a MacBook Pro, I needed to have a way to use FTP for remote plugin installation or system upgrades. It seems that even if FTP activation is […]
Haven’t been online and active for some time. I was very busy accommodating a small workspace in the living room. I have some IKEA pieces of furniture that I did not want to modify extensively, but to adapt somehow for my small projects. I built a shelf and a custom drawer, now being almost done […]
I just got it few days ago, a superb brand new Agilent 2002A Digital Storage Oscilloscope. Needless to say that I am absolutely thrilled by this 2G/s 70Mhz baby. It is a perfect addition for my electronics projects. Now I am playing with it, much to discover in the documentation. It comes with a CD […]
First things first. Let’s present the navigator shortcuts. The Workspace Window has the following for areas: Opened with all areas active: Pressing cmd + 0 hides Project Navigator (left area): Pressing opt + cmd + 0 hides Utilities Area (right area): Pressing shift + cmd + Y hides Debug Area (bottom area). Always useful to […]
Really, how do you do this quickly ? Find here.
Part II of the mutable transformation “saga”. Find here how to quickly convert from immutable to mutable arrays.
For my Arduino lessons I needed to add WordPress support for Arduino syntax highlighting. A custom brush for SyntaxHighlighter plugin that would format and color my Arduino syntax similar to the application (see here an example). This is what I did.
My preferred approach to creation and maintaing global variables/ constants is by singletons and singleton instance[s]. Not only is an elegant method that adds compliance to a very important Cocoa design pattern, but also provides you a lot of flexibility.
I took some steps in learning the capabilities of Arduino Platforms. Below is the code of my Bluetooth-enabled temperature reader with OS X integration.
