Projects with Ryan Slaugh: Active Filters & Tool Suggestions
Over the last few videos I have highlighted helpful circuits. In this video, I highlight an active filter setup utilizing an operational amplifier. Filters are very helpful when working with analog signals. ย Often the range of frequencies needed are not across the entire band, therefore you need to filter out those that inhibit a clean […]
Embedded Linux Meets FPGA Capes
Andy Gikling built an open-source robot called BBot, a “remote-controlled robot that talks, sees, and serves drinks at the pool!”
Projects with Ryan Slaugh: Simple Amplifier
Building upon my last video, I’ve decided to make a simple circuit using some op-amps. ย One is the general op-amp LM741. The other is a specific op-amp, LM386, that is designed for audio amplification. This circuit can be used to amplify microphones or be used as a circuit sniffer depending on what you connect to […]
Electronic Waste Jewelry
I guess one person’s electronic waste really can be another person’s treasure as these clever pieces of jewelry made by Chilean architect Marcele Godoy from electronic waste beautifully demonstrate.
Projects With Ryan Slaugh: Helpful Circuits
In this video, I will show you a few of my most used helpful circuits. They involve using the 555 timer and the Operational Amplifier.
Reflow Oven That Signals When It’s Done
Ray Wang’s modified his reflow toaster oven with a temperature probe controlled by an Arduino Pro, as well as an automatic door opener and auto-activating fan to reduce cool-down time.
