The
TPS61030EVM-029 is an evaluation tool for the
TPS61030 inductive step-up
converter in QFN-16 package which can supply
voltages up to 5.5V from a 1.8-V
to 5.5-V input. The TPS61030EVM-029 uses a
TPS61030 adjustable output step-up converter and the
appropriate external components to provide a
fixed 5-V output voltage.
By replacing the feedback components other voltages can
be generated. The EVM can also be used to evaluate other
options of the TPS6103x family. Please follow the
instructions in the User's Guide of the EVM.

Designing a PIC18F4550 Development Board
I decided that it was the moment to design a PIC Development Board,
with USB and RS232 interfaces, screw-terminals in ALL pinout of the microcontroller, helping to make infinite tests with sensors and actuators,
garanting 100% the access to the microcontroller
(PIC18F4550). »

Improved Circuit for the replacement of the
original circuit backlight of a bicycle
Thanks to Mr. Giorgos
Lazaridis, I found online this curious circuit. I modified it, a
little bit,
designing it for the replacement of a backlight original
circuit (www.infini.tw)
(model INFINI APOLLO / I-409 ) for a bicycle. Thanks for share!.

EasyUSB! Do you want to have, in your
embedded system, the possibility of read and write files
of a computer in a fast and easy way?
The EasyUSB gives your microcontroller access to 2MB
that can be seen as a pendrive in the most operating
systems. Now your microcontroller can Read and Write
files in a FAT16 file system. (file system that your
computer can easily understand). It is really Easy!
It opens a lot of opportunities on Robotics.
Now, I think that:
" A microcontroller can
READ and WRITE very easily in a specific pendrive! "
Thanks Daniel Brondani!

Torque Conversion and Equivalents
When you design a robot, it is really important to know
the characteristics of your motors. Nowadays, I am
working with the Stepper Motor SANYO DENKI 103H546-0440. But
if you are building a line follower robot, be really carefull with this parameters. It is very difficult to
find a DC Gearmotor with a good torque, good velocity,
encoder and not extremely expensive. Think about it.
You
will remember me...
