This is part 1 of a planned short blog series about Boolean algebra and logic gates. In this first part we’ll introduce you to simple Boolean algebra, which is very basic, and then look at how one or more logic…

Do It Yourself: SNMP Temperature Monitoring System

June 9, 2017

Gunnar Ranøyen Homb

Here at Norwegian Creations we occasionally need to monitor the temperature of a system. Sometimes we have done this with our DMM with data logging capabilities. But it’s a bad idea to impound our DMM’s for long periods. Therefore we need…

Breadboard is an essential tool for every electronics engineer and maker. In this blog post we’ll talk about why we use breadboards and how they work. Breadboards come in many shapes and sizes What? A breadboard is a simple tool…

Datalogging with a Multimeter

May 12, 2017

A Digital Multimeter (DMM) is a nice tool which we have talked about several times before (you can find an intro on how to use it here). The main usage is to measure something right now. But how can we…

Opamps – pt. 2: The Real World

April 11, 2017

Two weeks ago we started a blog series about operational amplifiers aka. opamps (or op amps). We showed you what an opamp is, some of the things it can do and the importance of feedback. To ensure that everything was…

Opamps – pt. 1: The Basics

March 30, 2017

Operational amplifiers aka. opamps are electrical components that we haven’t previously touched upon in our blog. These components are important, though, so now we’re starting a series where we’ll introduce you to opamps and their usage. The opamp-topic can be…
