How to Make an Interactive TCP Server with NodeMCU on the ESP8266

How to Make an Interactive TCP Server with NodeMCU on the ESP8266

Learn how to connect your device with Linux Screen using the built-in Lua interpreter to set up the file system and connect to the network. Then, learn how to automate the scripting process with Luatool and put it all together with a basic TCP server that can interact with a pulse-width modulated LED, a potentiometer, and a switch.

Mesh Analysis and Dependent Sources

Mesh Analysis and Dependent Sources

This article describes the technical aspects of Performing Mesh analysis with Dependent Sources.


Delta/Wye Transforms: Behind the Scenes

Delta/Wye Transforms: Behind the Scenes

Delta/wye transforms allow us to replace part of a circuit with a different circuit that, while equivalent in behavior, can make circuit analysis much simpler. Here we learn where these transforms come from.


Resistance in Parallel Networks

Resistance in Parallel Networks

Parallel circuits are one of two fundamental circuit configurations we come across every day. Like a parallel universe, parallel circuits and networks can give us unexpected results. Adding more gives less, and voltage stays the same no matter what! Learn about the role resistance plays in parallel circuits for your designs and safety.


Beyond the DMM: Components and Circuits for Measuring Current and Voltage

Beyond the DMM: Components and Circuits for Measuring Current and Voltage

Learn about devices and techniques used for in-circuit monitoring of currents and voltages.


Interfaces for Computer-Controlled Test Systems

Interfaces for Computer-Controlled Test Systems

A short introduction to some of the more popular interfaces used to connect test instruments to computers.


Beginner’s Guide to the Arduino

Beginner’s Guide to the Arduino

This project will help you get started with the Arduino, including a description of the different types of Arduinos, how to download the Arduino software development environment, and describe the different shields that are available for the Arduino along with the accessories you will need to develop Arduino projects.

How to Use an Arduino as a Web Server

How to Use an Arduino as a Web Server

By equipping an Arduino with an Ethernet shield you can turn it into a simple web server, and by accessing that server with a browser running on any computer connected to the same network as the Arduino, you can perform a variety of tasks.
