Abstract: This application note explains how to design an intelligent lighting controller that senses and measures the ambient lightlevel with an ambient light sensor (ALS). Equipped with a real-time clock (RTC), the controller also knows when to turn lighting on oroff at specified times. The system presented in this document can be used to control all luminaires that are mains-supply operated.Controller software is also provided in hex format.
Modern electronic systems solve so many difficult problems that they often seem like magic. Nonetheless, these systems all have thesame basic limitation: they need a source of electrical power! Most of the time this is a straightforward challenge for the electronicdesigner, because there are many power-delivery solutions. Yet sometimes a device has no direct power source, and running wiresor replacing batteries is impractical. Even when long-life batteries are usable, they eventually need to be replaced, which requires aservice call.
Abstract: How can an interface change a happy face to a sad face? Engineers have happy faces when an interface works properly.Sad faces indicate failure somewhere. Because interfaces between microprocessors and ICs are simple—even easy—they are oftenignored until interface failure causes sad faces all around. In this article, we discuss a common SPI error that can be almostimpossible to find in a large system. Links to interface tutorial information are provided for complete information. Noise as a systemissue and ICs to minimize its effects are also described.
There are many manufacturers of dot matrix LCD modules. However, most of these displaysare similar. They all have on-board controllers and drivers capable of displaying alpha numericsand a wide variety of other symbols (including Japanese "Katakana" characters). The internaloperation of LCD controller devices is determined by signals sent from a central processing unit(in this case, a CoolRunner-II CPLD).
PhpDig is a search engine written in PHP that uses a MySQL database backend. It features indexing of both static and dynamic pages, spidering of almost all links in HTML content, in hrefs, areamaps, and frames, and full text indexing. The search results appearence is skin-able, using a very simple templates system. PhpDig是一個用PHP編寫的搜索引擎，它使用MySQL數據庫后臺。它的功能有靜態和動態頁面索引，在HTML內容中用hrefs, areamaps，和frames以及全文本索引構成所有的鏈接網。搜索結果的外觀是可定制外觀的，使用一個非常簡單的模板系統。
Password Safe Password Safe is a password database utility. Users can keep their passwords securely encrypted on their computers. A single Safe Combination unlocks them all.
This a separate release of the OpenSS7 X/Open XTI/TLI library, TLI modules (timod, tirdwr) and the INET driver (inet) that provides Unix98 compatible interface to Linux NET4 TCP/IP stacks, and all the necessary manpages and other documentation. Although these components are contained in our LiS and Linux Fast-STREAMS releases, this tarball configures, builds and installs these components separate from those releases.
