Seems the real problem is an economical low to high voltage transformer! High voltage diodes are available for less than 50 cents. But if you need 10...

@cwalker1960 The landfills are overflowing with MOSFETS! 1) Treat them as ESD sensitive. They are and ESD will change the parameters of a par...

Owen, It would be easier to see if we know the answer to your questions if we knew what they were? I have accomplished a couple of small things fo...

One important thing to consider in how well you have soldered is VISUAL INSPECTION! Think magnifiers, magnifying glass, ring light with magnifier, r...

@goldfisch 1) Rotate Lidar sensor. If not possible due to laws on lasers consider other possibilities. 2) Rotate an ultrasonic sensor and measure...

Unless I am mistaken this comparison,mistakes clock frequency on both parts as KHz rather than MHz. This makes me wonder what else they missed. It w...

I answered the question primarily to pass the link on showing the accelerometer unit sending data to the Arduino Cloud. "I am guessing that you so ...

I am not building a weather station but am trying to work with the Arduino Cloud to take data from an RP2040. I started out with this example: I...

I agree with it the programmer's responsibility to decide the value of memory vs. execution speed. It's used to be the compiler's responsibility to gi...

I observed QFPs being soldered by hand in China. They were roughly 100 pin devices. The soldering iron had a flat tip with a dimple. The operator used...

"Changing the algorithm, so that the whole task becomes shorter, can be a different matter." I think a slightly different interpretation of this is ...
