I have been a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) for over five years and am slowly working towards becoming a Chartered Engineer. The Engineering Council is the gatekeeper to who can and can not become a Chartered Engineer and, subsequently, appends the Post-nominal titles of EngTech, ICTTech, […]
The DIN Standard, DIN 47100, is used to identify the colour-coding for identifying cores in telecommunication cables.
BlueOS is Blue Robotics Raspberry Pi software to control ROVs, it combines the functionality required to control robots and low-cost hardware
Ian Hughes has done a lot of work on making a 3D-printable K9. Details of Doctor Who’s K-9 and other science-fiction models can be found on his Patreon page. I am currently working on printing the external parts for the main body, The parts are printed on our Prusa MK3 […]
Plotting EMC limit charts in Microsoft Excel is unfortunately quite hard, Standards like CISPR 11 and CISPR 25 make use of Log/Log graphs.
Make an item of test equipment that can respond to SCPI (IEEE-488.1) commands. including *IDN?, *OPT? and *TST
To encode the Hardware Revision number, so that we know what the version numbers of the main PCB is and is available to the Microcontroller.
