As an experimental physicist, I often work with electronic devices. This is more than a minor inconvenience for me, as I have a keen interest in them and approach them scientifically. Here, I have compiled all the sections of my personal blog that discuss electronic devices.
Electronic devices and Programming topics
LCD programming and Raspberry Pi use
Instructions for programming LCD devices and using them with Python and the Raspberry Pi.
Handling voltages with microprocessors
A guide to input and output voltage using the Raspberry Pi. Instructions for building a compact and simple voltage divider are included.
Yet another algorithm for rotary encoder control
A proposal for a new algorithm for reading rotary encoders with a programming examples for Raspberry Pi and Arduino.
Electronic devices and Model railways topics
Automatic switch improvement
Improving old automatic switch. The explanation of the two-solenoid actuator operation is included.
Incandescent versus LED lamps
Comparing characteristics of original incandescent lamps and modern LED lamps built in during the digitalization endeavour.
Original versus modern motors
Comparing characteristics of original and modern motors built in as a replacement/improvement endeavour.
