I don’t like programming, I am not very good at it; yes I can do just enough to make Arduino’s talk SCPI and do other things for me. However, I dislike writing reports in Microsoft Word more (don’t get me started on my feelings about Microsoft Windows). This is where […]

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 […]
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.
we use the "ArduinoUniqueID" Arduino library, to give us the Unique ID serial number of the Arduino we are using.
KL15, KL30, KL31, KL61 - KL is the abbreviation for 'klemme' which is the German term for connector/connection…
It is helpful to know when the firmware on the device was compiled, it can be displayed on a screen, or sent viewed over serial.
After AC Rectification, the next step is Reducing the Ripple on the DC supply line as much as possible.
AC (Alternating Current) is used for the transmission of mains voltage, one of its main advantages for use as a method of transmission over DC (Direct Current) is that a change of voltage between High Voltage, Low Voltage, and SELV (Safety Extra-low Voltage) can be performed using a transformer. A […]
