learn about the 555 The 555 Integrated Circuit (IC) is an easy to use timer that has many applications. It is widely used in electronic circuits and this popularity means it is also very cheap to purchase, typically costing around 30p. A 'dual' version called the 556 is also available which includes two independent 555 ICs in one package. For the 555 to function it relies on both analogue and digital electronic techniques, but if we consider its output only, it can be thought of as a digital device. The output can be in one of two states at any time, the first state is the 'low' state, which is 0v. The second state is the 'high' state, which is the voltage Vs (The voltage of your power supply which can be anything from 4.5 to 15v. 18v absolute maximum). Monostable mode: in this mode, the 555 functions as a "one-shot".
ETH - IDSC - Flying Machine Arena The Flying Machine Arena (FMA) is a portable space devoted to autonomous flight. Measuring up to 10 x 10 x 10 meters, it consists of a high-precision motion capture system, a wireless communication network, and custom software executing sophisticated algorithms for estimation and control. The motion capture system can locate multiple objects in the space at rates exceeding 200 frames per second. While this may seem extremely fast, the objects in the space can move at speeds in excess of 10 m/s, resulting in displacements of over 5 cm between successive snapshots. This information is fused with other data and models of the system dynamics to predict the state of the objects into the future. The system uses this knowledge to determine what commands the vehicles should execute next to achieve their desired behavior, such as performing high-speed flips, balancing objects, building structures, or engaging in a game of paddle-ball.

About We are a community of makers, artists, designers, and builders focused on simplifying the world of electronics DIY by modularizing information. Instead of showcasing users’ projects, we offer bite-size, easy-to-follow articles that help you hit the ground running. We understand that, for many, the idea is more important than the method of accomplishing it. Our hope is that by offering working code and wiring examples for almost anything you would want to make, we can create building blocks that will enable people to stop searching for help, and start getting their idea made. What’s all this talk about Modularized Information? It’s pretty simple. Imagine buying an entire car just because you needed a single part. More about the site bildr is not a company, has no funding, and does not make a profit. How can I help? The thing we need above all is content, in the wiki and blog. The simple goal of bildr At the end of the day, this is what we hope to accomplish.
programming languages - Need some ignition for learning Embedded Systems Build Your Own Lenses Nikon, Canon, Leica, Pentax, Sigma, Tokina, and a host of other lens makers are all striving to bring you the sharpest lenses with all optical aberrations reduced to the minimum. That’s too bad! Because with lenses, as with life, sometimes it’s the imperfections that make things interesting. The image on the left was shot with the imperfect optics of a homemade lens. There are two components necessary for a homemade camera lens suitable for use on a SLR or DSLR: the optics (to focus the light) and the mechanics (to hold the optics in place and hopefully provide a method of adjusting the focus and aperture). The Optics Any lens that focuses light (a double convex, plano convex, or positive meniscus) can theoretically be used as a camera lens. Notice that I used the word theoretically above. So unless you already know the focal length of your lens, you should measure it. Starting Simple Let’s look at some examples, including different ways to address the mechanics.

c++ - How do I get started in embedded programming Arduino on a prototype board Arduino is a great prototyping platform and most of you probably know already about it. If not, check out the Arduino pages and the Arduino playground and dive into it. A couple of month ago I ordered my first Arduino board. It was one of the Diecimila revision. So what to do if these boards are far away across the ocean and it is holiday season everywhere? Gather components Luckily I had most needed components laying around. ATmega8, 16MHz, 8kB flash memory, 1kB sram memory2 x 0.1u capacitors2 x 22p capacitors16MHz crystal10k resistor1k resistorred 3mm LEDbutton6 pin header for ISP3 pin header for serial communicationprototyping boardUSBtoRS232 converterISP programmer All components can be bought for about 4.50€, without the ISP programmer and the USBtoRS232 converter. If I had a resonator, I would have taken that, instead of the crystal and the capacitors as it needs less space on the prototype board. The USB to RS232 converter is called USB-2-bot and comes from another project. Fuses
