In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the Wheatstone bridge topology, excitation and calibration methodologies, and basic signal-conditioning techniques using building blocks such as difference ...

Sometimes the simplest hacks can be the most useful or ingenious, and such is the case with [Keri Szafir]’s method of ensuring that potentiometers used in audio devices are matched. If you consider a ...

We are always impressed with something so simple can actually be so complex. For example, what would you think goes into an analog computer? Of course, a “real” analog computer has opamps that can do ...

Gathering information on physical phenomena such as force, pressure, light, temperature, strain and current is an invaluable tool when designing many systems. Sensors convert changes in physical ...
