| When designing or testing a power supply, a load is required to verify that it meets the power specifications. The most basic load is a (pow...

| You can build a DIY lap counter for a model race track. The number of laps is measured using an infrared reflection light sensor. The actual...

| This universal high voltage power supply is not only capable of providing power to valve circuits; it can also be used to trace the characte...

| PCs are not normally equipped with a GPIB interface, however, forcing users to buy a plug-in card or an expensive external USB-GPIB converte...

| Chip manufacturers are always coming up with ever more sophisticated constant current driver chips for LEDs. We have included this design fo...

| In the January 2009 issue of Elektor we saw how straightforward it is to connect a low-cost RFM12 868 MHz ISM (licence-free) radio module to...

| Curve tracers have been a staple in Elektor since 1979. This practical project from 2009 measures and records characteristic curves of NPN/P...
