Steady vs Transient States 

Category: Electronic Design

In May 2022 I wrote this post. In the field of #electronics, change is often a requirement of the overall functionality of a device. Like most things we encounter in electronics, there are at least two states of existence. For example, with a switch we find that it is off or on open or closed. In electronics there are two classifications of states that are a complex part of the analysis and understanding of the characteristics of a system, as well as the general functionality. These two states are the #Steady State and the #Transitory State. Here is the link to this post:

Electronic Protection Devices

Category: Electronic Design

At the beginning of 2020, I started a series of videos about #electronic #protection #devices, starting with the basics. Then I finished that series of videos in the year 2022. The series is very interesting because explain fundamentals for electronic protection are explained from the point of view of #Electronic #Design in a simple way. Here are the respective links of this series of Video Tutorials:

Arduino Library and Android APP for #Arduino #Dimmer Module

Category:  Firmware and Software Programming (C/C++, Assembly and Java/Android Studio).

In 2018 I designed the #arduino #library with examples for the Phase Control Module and on-off for resistive and inductive AC Loads. Likewise, I developed this simple APP to use it with smartphones that have the #Android and #Bluetooth operating system. The library uses interrupts and registers from the #ATMEGA328P-PU, #ATMEGA328-AU, #ATMEGA328P-AU, ATMEGA2550 and ATMEGA32U4 microcontrollers. Here all links:

Get started with Arduino Nano

Category: Embedded Systems, Arduino.

Several years ago, back in 2012, when the #Arduino wave was starting in #Colombia, I published this initiation video on Arduino #Nano. This card was being assembled here in Colombia under my guidance at the time. Reviewing it today (see date of this post) I see that this video has quite a few views. Here the video:

Bluetooth RN Series

Category: Wireless Communications.

The #bluetooth modules in this series, formerly Roving Networks and now #Microchip, are in my opinion (without detracting from the opinions that other experts on the subject may have about other manufacturers) one of the best modules on the market that today, of course, have diversified finding many more options of the same series.

In the video that you will see below, in 2012 a board designed and developed by the author of this post is shown, which was the breakout and hardware interface that was assembled here in Colombia under my supervision and about which I made this demonstration video, later of course in said company, other video tutorials on its use were released:

Motivatrix

Category: Multidisciplinary, Electronic Design.

#Motivatrix was a project in which I participated, which consisted of a #fitness machine either to exercise or to burn calories through video #games. The exercises are guided through a touch screen and their monitoring/measurement and approval/ranking is done by the machine itself through contactless sensors. To continue to the next level the user must meet a certain score or burn a certain number of calories. The same happens with the games that at the time this machine was created absurdly surpassed what we later knew as #nintendo wii, so it was very innovative. In addition, this machine has vital sign sensors so that the user can review them whenever he/she want, routines from their doctor, nutritionist and personal trainer can be included in its software.

My participation in the development of #Motivatrix was in the electronic part, sensors and embedded systems that it has, during  2005  and up to 2007. Here are the links to videos of it working:
