There is no earth ground on any vehicle. "Ground" is the negative terminal of the battery only. Electrical equipment does not require an earth to operate. It requires a potential...

Do a Google search for "energy harvesting". That will give you some idea of the difficulties involved in changing minute quantities of mechanical energy into useful electrical energy. - CG...

I would not recommend trying to charge lithium-based batteries without a charging controller. The batteries have a good chance of exploding or venting toxic fumes. As Karthik said, it's possible...

Your questions is too general for a specific answer. We actually sell a guide that lists over 2300 microcontrollers. Of those, about 110 are Atmel AVR, and about 240 are...

Now that I think about it, you might be able to save the Hyperterminal window to a text file or something. It's been a long time since I last used...

A quick search shows the LT3757 will boost up to 350V. #-Link-Snipped-# for the data sheet. You'll have to read through it to see if it's OK for your application...

You could try using Hyperterminal or another simple terminal program. It will only display the data - not record it or anything - but that should be just fine for...

Embedded systems are used in nearly every facet of modern aerospace systems. This includes: Instrumentation Control systems Avionics (control surfaces) Communications Navigation Automatic pilot and landing Entertainment systems Network connectivity...

Electric vehicles generate electricity when braking in order to maximize their battery life. When braking, you're reducing the kinetic energy of the vehicle by converting it into something else. Regular...

I would think the first thing you're going to need is a controller IC. I'd start with Linear Technology to see if they have anything suitable. The chip you use...
