    Max power from an ultrasonic speaker/sounder/transmitter/resonator, and a driver for 20khz and 25khz.

    As part of my ongoing project, I need to drive a Piezoelectric ultrasonic speaker. I have 1 of each that resonates at 20khz and 25khz. The max my sine wave oscillator can give out is 5v RMS, and the max the speakers can handle is 20v RMS. So to get the max out of the speaker I need a...

    Low noise Hydrophone Preamplifier

    I am currently developing a low noise preamp for a new piezo sensor that should be used as a hydrophone. Since I am actually from the signal processing domain the topic was quite hard to get into for me. The sensor is relatively new and not well characterized. The only specifications I have are...

    Can I trim off the pins on a Force sensitive resistor without affecting the sensitivity?

    Hi all, I have some FSR 402 sensors that look like this: (Datasheet here) I also have some FCI clinchers that look like this: (LINK) Now I realized that I can add the clinchers only to a FSR without the pins. Can I trim off the end up to here: so I could add the clinchers? I would like...

    Car side-mirror dimmer simulator circuit - DIY

    Would like to make a simple car side-mirror simulator circuit. The side mirrors I installed (for better blind spot) do not have a dimmer circuit and I am getting LIN bus errors since the dimmer wires are disconnected. Would like to DIY something that fools the car into thinking it is...

    Circuit board to amplify and filter the electrical signals from the piezoelectric disks

    Hi, im working on creating a step counter using piezoelectric disks. The idea is that I want to use the disks as sensors and be able to read their voltage and current values with an Arduino Uno. Im also using a voltage sensor, the sensor that will be used is an ACS712 that can detect the flowing...

    Custom Flight Controller Board design - Suggestions and Criticisms

    Hello community, My name is Tommaso Bugliesi and I am currently designing a custom flight controller board. It's not just one board, but rather two boards to be stacked on top of each other using rubber dampers. The hole spacing is 30.5mm, and the overall dimensions of the two boards is...

    Would You Be Interested in an Affordable DIY Lock-In Amplifier?

    During my PhD, I spent countless hours conducting optical experiments, where lock-in amplifiers became an integral part of my research. Their precision and effectiveness were unmatched, but so was their cost. Recently, while doing a personal optics project, I found myself in need of a lock-in...

    Photodiode ThorLabs DET08CL not outputing what's expected

    I'm currently trying to characterise a NIR 940nm laser device that I have recently made. The main thing I want to achieve is to see if the laser is truly doing what the enable signal told it to. I began with a rather slow square wave - 1Hz at 50% duty cycle. I used a ThorLabs DET08CL...

    Search for UART sensors

    I’m developing a Modbus RTU architecture. The master of this architecture is my Beagebone Black , which I want to connect via RS-485 serial communication to my sensors. Since I’m using RS-485 converters (RS-485 Converter) which need a UART input as far as I understand, I was looking for sensors...
