    Breakout box to test custom instrumentation cables

    Hello, I've been tasked at work to design a breakout box to test our "custom" instrumentation cables, essentially test the continuity of the pins, whilst being able to identify if a pin has lost connection (i.e. wire broken). We have two groups of cables, the ones that connect in the sensor's...

    Is it possible to add a dimmer switch to a USB LED lamp?

    I bought a USB desk lamp. It has a power switch + 2 switches to increase/decrease brightness. But these buttons are hard to press, very slow to operate, and even the darkest setting is still very bright. I'd love to add a true dimmer switch, so I can quickly turn it on and set the brightness in...

    Motion triggered battery powered dimmable COB LED light

    My view on life, in any field, is not to produce more but to consume less. Everybody told me this is a very eccentric weird mentality. Perhaps they are right. Nevertheless I have to build my project to make a highly efficient, extremely low drain, motion triggered 12V battery powered dimmable...

    Arduino ON led lights up with no USB, no Vin and no 5V power

    Hello, I am using an Arduino Uno for a soldering station project. I am powering the Arduino through USB port using a L7805 regulator and I saw that if I remove the USB power, the ON led still lights up when I am powering the soldering station. Also, the other led's are semi light up. The Vin and...
