    How to Mount arduino Uno?

    I want to have a permanent "casing" or mounting point for the Arduino uno but unlike the arduino Nano, i can't just solder on the pins to a PCB... i see a couple screw holes on the edges but what can it be screwed into? i suppose the wires can be plugged into the top of the uno like normal...

    RF Transmitters and Receivers?

    as of right now i am using the default software.serial library used for the arduino connected directly to the Tx (i believe this is called something like an UART)

    RF Transmitters and Receivers?

    Now I am at the point where i can send a digital signal at 4800 baud through these sensors. The thing is, If it send "123" on the other side, i rarely ever get the "495051" sequence (refer to ASCII table) there is no encoding for this signal and i am not quite sure how to "encode" it either...

    RF Transmitters and Receivers?

    okay so i finally figured out to find a digital signal to send through these. there is another problem that comes up: 1. the signal being sent to the transmitter is 9600 baud which is 2x the 4800baud for the tx/rx (which i do not know if it affects the signal any) 2. when i view the signal, it...

    Where to connect the capacitors on this IC?

    i got a MAX3232 from sparkfun and it is SMD here is the datasheet: https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Components/ICL3232.pdf the product page said that i needed 4 external 0.1 µF capacitors so i got those as well the question is, i do not know which pins to connect them to according to the...

    Dropout voltage Buck Converter?

    thanks wasnt quite sure how to read the graph at first lol but for me i think my voltage dropout would be around 1v if not 0.5v-0.8v because of low current draw

    Dropout voltage Buck Converter?

    What is the dropout voltage for a LM2596 DC to DC buck converter? for 5v 7805 voltage regulators i know that the output voltage drops around 6-7v depending on the regulator but what about buck converters? does it work in the same way? does it even have a "dropout voltage?" thanks!

    Inverting RS232 Signal?

    wait you have to invert it, then the max232 inverts it again? sorry im just really confused - - - Updated - - - wait you have to invert it, then the max232 inverts it again? sorry im just really confused

    Inverting RS232 Signal?

    basically it is an inverted ttl signal?

    Inverting RS232 Signal?

    I have a Maxbotix MB1030 ultrasonic sensor, in which it gives out a "Tx" digital signal which is: When the *BW is open or held low, the TX output delivers asynchronous serial with an RS232 format, except voltages are 0-Vcc. The output is an ASCII capital “R”, followed by three ASCII character...

    RF Transmitters and Receivers?

    I am actually using this with the MaxBotix ultrasonic sensor where I have a PWM output, Analog output and an inverted digital signal at 9600 baud

    Waterproofing Ultrasonic Sensor?

    No I am planning on having at least son sort of protection from the rain and wind

    Waterproofing Ultrasonic Sensor?

    I want to use the Maxbotix MB1030 ultrasonic sensor and i want to design a housing for it. the problem is, i dont know what type of material ultrasonic waves can pass through while still protecting the sensor from water some people described a foam but pictures are not available anymore any...

    RF Transmitters and Receivers?

    I've been trying to use this pair of RF transmitter/receiver: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10534 https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10532 does anybody have any experience with what type of signal it actually sends/receives? you see that in the datasheet for the receiver you have a...

    Sensor Used to Light up an LED

    there are 2 sensor/transmitter units and 2 receiver/led units, except that the receiver units are located in the same circuit. i mention "receiver" because both of them will have the same exact function. not only is there a voltage output from the sensor, but there is also a "Tx" output in...
