This is going to be the last part of DIY USB-C adapter and micro amplifier post series. Today, I will show, how the amplifier was fully assembled to a fully finished device. Table of contents Previous parts for this topic Device’s construction The ALC4042 USB-C DAC The INA1620 amplifier board Whole assembly and final thoughts … Read more
Today is the continuation of the DIY micro headphone amplifier. I have already talked about it in my previous two posts where I have introduced the idea with a prototype and where I have talked about custom made PCB dedicated for this project. So, todays topic is how I have soldered the amplifier. Other post … Read more
This is a continuation of a DIY Mini (or micro) headphone amplifier. I have already talked about it in the first part and even made a working prototype. But the protopine was big in size, so I have decided to order a PCB and make it as small as possible. Other post parts DIY portable … Read more
You might want to connect an encoder to your Arduino board when you want to have a physical control over you electronics. The encoder might also be a great alternative to physical pushbuttons as a rotating knob might be a more intuitive solution for some applications. Table of contents Encoder Used hardware in this example … Read more
There are times when you need to measure temperature with your Arduino board. There are lots of different temperature sensors, most of them reads out data via digital interface. In this post I am going to talk about a simple analog temperature sensor LM35, which reads out temperature as a voltage value. Table of contents … Read more
This blog post is going to be a really short tutorial for those who want to start using PlatformIO IDE with any Arduino board. Table of contents Your usual Arduino use case About PlatformIO Simple PlatformIO example with Arduino Nano Used software and hardware in this example Download and install PlatformIO Create a new project … Read more
Today’s topic is going to be related to audio amplifiers. Particularly a headphone amplifier based on an INA1620 IC. There are going to be two main parts of this post – the first one about the amplifier and its construction, and the second – about my attempt to measure how well it performs. Other post … Read more
