If you want to replace the micro-USB / mini-USB for a USB type C connectors in your projects, look no further! In this post you will see just how simple it is! The USB Type C connector The USB Type C connector has 24 pins, and is symmetrical so that […]
A new page has been added under Electronics/Power. It explains in depth how to build a circuit that will act as a automated battery backup switchover. It will take you from a naive approach all the way to the state of the art. Click here to access it!
A new tutorial is available! It will teach you how to control a nixie tube with an arduino and discrete high voltage transistors. Access the tutorial I published another tutorial a while back on the same topic, but using old nixie drivers instead. As these drivers are unreliable and no […]
Scotty Allen is known on Youtube as the creator behind the “Strange Parts” channel. His video about adding a headphone jack back to an iPhone 7 went viral in 2017 and he has gathered over a million subscribers since; doing all sorts of interesting projects in relation to electronics. In […]
Ever since I build my first nixie clock using old 74141 drivers that aren’t produced anymore, I’ve wanted to build a new one using a more modern design. A lot of people design Nixie clocks with multiplexers and high voltage transistor arrays but these introduce a complexity of their own: […]
This is a multipart series on how to design an efficient and modern high voltage nixie power supply, from the idea to shipping it to customers worldwide. Summary Part 1: Idea Part 2: Design & Simulation Part 3: Making a prototype Part 4: More prototypes! Part 5: Sending for Assembly […]
Today I will be reviewing the PCBs made by PCBWay. PCBWay keeps pushing for the control of the “makers” and “hobbysts” market by continually improving their services. This is an updated review of a previously published post; and we will see in here how they fare today against their main […]
