High Voltage Nixie Power Supply: from idea to production Part …

It’s been a while since I last posted here, and it was for the server upgrade. Well, I have not been sitting idle during all this time as I can now announce the launch of datasheetcentral.com. Datasheetcentral is quite simply put a search engine for datasheets, combined with hosting of […]

Launch of datasheetcentral.com

As of today idyl.io is officially upgraded to a brand new dedicated server. It’s a pretty beefy Xeon with 32GB of RAM and dedicated bandwidth. This is also why you might have had some issues accessing the website while I was ironing out the last problems. Setting up SSL certificates […]

idyl.io Server Upgrade

A new page has been created in the lessons section, talking in depth about the ubiquitous linear regulator. If you wish to jump right in, the page can be reached at https://idyl.io/electronics/power/linear-regulator/ You will learn: How linear regulators are built How to take in consideration the “drop out” value of […]

New Electronics Lessons: The Linear Regulator

This post is now outdated: the Power Supply project is now complete and available for sale on Tindie. Link to the Tindie Page Link to the complete write up of the project ORIGINAL POST BELOW: My nixie clock power supply died. It was one of these cheaply built Chinese modules […]

The rotary encoder is a great user input device with a satisfying tactile feedback. A lot of user interfaces are slowly transitioning towards button-less devices, but when in need of a physical system, I always love to use encoders. However if you have ever worked with one, you know they […]

A few weeks back I posted about the TAS5733L; a promising all-in-one I2S codec coupled with a DSP and a class D amplifier. Unfortunately; I could never make it work. Luckily this is not really a problem anymore since Texas Instruments recently released a younger, more powerful brother called the […]
