    Ensuring Wireless Serial Communication

    Recently, I used Arduino along with XBee and the temperature sensor MLX90614 to wirelessly send temperature data to my laptop being read in the COM port. The data seemed to read fine when the set up was in room temperature and not moving. But under other circumstances, it became a problem...

    Ensuring Wireless Serial Communication

    I guess the best way is to ensure that the data reaches by sufficient power to the signal and the design of the antenna then?

    Ensuring Wireless Serial Communication

    So in the case of my above data, imagine you had to send this from one wireless transceiver to another wireless transceiver. How would you send the data? How can you be sure that a missing bit wouldn't occur?

    Ensuring Wireless Serial Communication

    Hi, How do we ensure that when we are communicating serially, we don't lose any of the data (say the start bit) in between? And if we do, by what means does the receiver actually 'know' this has happened? Let's assume I have an asynchronous communication and I am sending some data: Data ...

    [SOLVED] Help me in a LASER alarm circuit

    Photo transistor uses the light signal on the base to control the transistor operation. Thanks for sharing your circuit also.

    [SOLVED] Help me in a LASER alarm circuit

    Forget this circuit. Explain what you actually want (functionality) in whatever you wish to design. If you want a laser circuit that rings an alarm when the beam is cut, you can use a simple laser detector connected to a low signal triggered circuit connected to a buzzer. Something like what I...

    Blinking LED Delay Issue - PIC 16f1847

    I don't know if this is important. But the below link says to even include PORTA = 0x00; command. I have not programmed a PIC anytime, but you could try after adding that. http://www.pyroelectro.com/tutorials/program_pic/explaincode.html

    verilog against c/c++ performance comparison

    Can we compare a hardware description language with software language? I don't think the software language have the description of time. Doesn't the speed depend on compiler used, and the type of code you are using the language for also?

    Heating and Cooling using 8051 microcontroller

    Hi, I have to make the temperature of an object to be sensed and then for it to be cooled or heated according to the preset value in the microcontroller (has to be 8051). How can I accomplish this? I am using the attached circuit for the temperature sensor. Is it okay? PART 2 Now, I need to...

    [SOLVED] Oscillator as Inverter?

    Thanks FvM. Say (I am not going to do the following!), I connect a high voltage DC to the supply of a Colpitt oscillator. I also take care of the values of the resistors, capacitors and the inductors, how inefficient would my the circuit be as compared to the modern inverter designs? Thanks.

    [SOLVED] Oscillator as Inverter?

    I read this thread: https://www.edaboard.com/threads/43456/ Can we convert a DC voltage to sinusoidal AC by using an oscillator circuit like Wein-bridge or Clapp? Can this be done for voltages as high as mains (230V rms)? If not why, not?

    Is it okay to have no current limiting resistor with LEDs?

    Right. The resistor as current limiter doesn't take care of the constant current. But I guess I could go with it still? If I am using resistors, I plan to use the resistors in parallel with each other instead of a single resistor because power will be distributed in using many resistors instead...

    Is it okay to have no current limiting resistor with LEDs?

    So what will be the best approach in all for simple SMPS with constant current?

    Is it okay to have no current limiting resistor with LEDs?

    Yes, a constant current driver. Would this circuit do? How would I modify it for the value of current I require? Is it only dependent on R, or even on the 4.7k? Say I am driving more than 2 LEDs, and I need total current of 20mA x 20 = 0.4A. My source is say 3V. Thanks for your help guys :-)...
