Have you ever tried to solder SMT (Surface Mount Technology) parts? We here at Cytron are getting more and more…
Cytron received an inquiry from our precious customer today. The question is about measuring water level using Analog Distance Sensor (SN-GP2Y0A21). He (i think is a ‘he’) asked whether the infrared beam will penetrate the water, or instead, reflect by the water surface. That’s an interesting question which has never come over my mind. So I decided to conduct a quick experiment after my lunch.
I don't like to see my desk with excess cables mangled or twisted together, namely mouse and keyboard cables, USB...
What can we do with a UC00A besides Serial to USB converter? Let’s start from fulfilling my day dreams. I always wanted to have a device other than mouse and keyboard to control my PC. Okay, it’s not a big deal if we use a microcontroller to commnunicate with the PC through serial interface by using a UC00A. However that’s not what we want to achieve here. We want to do it by using UC00A alone!
