Metronome is very important tool if you studying music playing. There are mechanical metronome device in the past, but today, electronic metronome is much more popular since it can be very simple, compact/small, reliable, and also has the most interesting feature: cheap. Here is one example of the electronic metronome schematic: Parts: [...]

Stepper motor controller is needed to run a stepper motor, since a stepper motor cannot work by just connecting it to a power supply. To program a stepper motor to make a complex movement, we usually need a micro controller. Fortunatelly, for a simple movement like just rotating eith a constant speed, we can use [...]

The excellent high input impedance, high slew rate, and high voltage qualities of CA3140 op-amp make it suitable for Wien-bridge sine wave oscillator. The basic circuit for Wien-bridge sine wave oscillator is shown in the figure below (the upper part). You can see the formula in the figure, when R1=R2=R, and C1=C2=C, then the formula [...]
