Fascinating! I was able to recreate that behavior under Firefox (on Mac). We will put it on the list of items to fix.

Thank you very much for pointing this out.

Todd,

Can you please try and right-click on the menu? In most browsers this should present you with an option to “Open in new tab”.

My thesis advisor specializes in RF systems. His area of interest is in software-defined radio, or SDR. SDR is gaining much more popularity due to the availability of systems that can perform all of the traditional radio processing digitally. Field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) are one such…

Chris,

I do not know what school you attend, but in my experience students generally work with an advisor to find a suitable topic.

Many advisors prefer you choose a topic in their area. I would suggest you find the professors in your department that work in RF & microwave, and discuss this…

I do not know about the solar charger specifically, but I would expect that the 16 volt output is with no load. If you plug that in to charge your van battery, the voltage will be lower, about the same as your van battery. The voltage will increase slightly as the battery is charged, but nowhere…

Pumendu,

You need naturally need some processing capability on your robot. Image processing can be quite complex and generally requires a powerful processor. I tend to prefer FPGA’s for this type of application. With an FPGA you can include an embedded processor, and also include some custom…

The matlab code I wrote was pretty bad… Also, I never implemented a temperature controller, I implemented a GUI interface that allowed me to control the oven. I only used it a few times, so, I never put in the time to build a control algorithm.

I can post the code, with a few comments if you…

The level of integration is phenomenal. Unfortunately, so is the price. More than $600 in small quantities, $400 if one needs 1000 or more. I look forward to the lower cost versions of these. It occurs to me that these devices would be most ideal for portable devices, but those devices are very…

Just when you thought you knew everything about a topic, something new comes along to upset the apple cart. There are new techniques for sampling that violate the tenets of Nyquist. These new sensing techniques use random sampling of the signal, and the principle of sparsity.

Sparsity implies…

For my Masters in Electrical Engineering I will design and implement a glove that contains 6, 6 degree of freedom, inertial measurement units located on the fingers, thumb and hand. The glove will provide a platform for development and understanding of inertial measurement techniques. The glove…
