Solar panels are becoming popular. And so will be logging the converters. A popular converter is the Sunny Boy. The Sunny Boy has a (closed) RS485 protocol and you need an additonal SolarLog converter to open the energy info (I believe even our moderator Pieter had to buy such a unit) So ...is someb...

Is there already a forum member that owns/uses the Toon ?

Help me.... what kind of application(s) is possible with BTv4 which was not possible with ZigBee ?

[quote="AshaiRey"]There are also inverters from 12/24V Dc to 220v AC I know but that results in an electrical system that is partly 12VDC and partly 230V AC. For safety reasons I like to prevent that. What I'm looking for is 12/24VDC actuators that can control LED-lighting and that can be ...

12V DC I believe

I'm familiar with many protocols/systems for home/building automation but now a friend has bought a large camper en needs camper automation. He wants to install many LED-lights and create scenes for them. For a DC environment we have to skip systems like X10 and Xanura and KNX has DC-components but ...

I'm looking for a PCI-e (express, NOT mini-PCI) board/PCB to monitor the PCI-e signals.
A PCI-e board that is defect, that is OK.
Even an empty PCB is fine
and if somebody has an Eagle-CAD file with PCI-e connector that is welcome also.

Even someone with little or no electronics background can build devices made up of components like sensors, lights, switches, displays, communications, motor controllers, and much more. Just pick your components, plug them into a mainboard and program the way they work together. .NET Gadgeteer utili...

Google announced that it will stop with the Google Health- and Google Powermeter- services. The health service was started in 2008 for USA-citizens. And I'm happy it was never a succes because of the privacy issues. In my opinion We dont need a global database with our medical info. Lets create a wa...

If you need a suggestion for a present this month.... tip

That way you can detect if the lightbulb is broken or not. Interesting..... so to do this test, some electronic-device in the car should put a negative voltage on the line to test the difference between 1) lightbulb broken or 2) fuse broken So if this is correct, which device/unit/component is putt...

I thought I did understand electronics slightly but today I'm no longer sure... In my car there is a light module with an ordinary lamp. A diode (just a 1N4007) is mounted anti-parallel over the lamp. Why is this done ? (if you want to should "voltage spike protection" than Why is it mount...

This powercord is Push-Wise

I need a water meter, a sensor to implement in a 22mm pipe. And I need a digital output (a pulse output is OK). Many sensors are available, but everybody is focusing on high accuracy and for this application an accuracy of +/- 10% is OK, but I need them in quantity and low cost. I have once seen a k...

I need a small PCB (ca. 35 cm2) and probably it will be a 4-layer.
I'm not experienced with PCB-design & pilot-production.
Small budget is available.
Location: The Netherlands
Any suggestions ?
PM is OK also.
