What is a WiFi Repeater? A WiFi repeater is a device that is able to pick up a WiFi signal, amplify it, and redirect it to another device.

Embedded systems refer to devices, instruments or large engineering structures/systems that are built to handle one or a few pre-established tasks. The computer controlling the whole thing is built into or 'embedded' within the device. Cellphones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) are examples of devices with embedded systems. They both perform a specific number of tasks which are controlled by a built-in computer system. Inertial guidance systems used for aerial navigation or as part of the guidance package of smart bombs and missiles are examples of instruments with embedded systems. Read More

Electroluminescent Wire

Last edited by . Total of 1 comment in the discussion.

Electroluminescent wire (EL wire) is a thin wire that produces 360 degrees of visible light. EL wire differs from string lights, such as Christmas lights, which only produce light at specific points. It uses a phenomenon known as electroluminescence to generate light when electricity runs through it. EL wire is very thin and flexible and can therefore be used in various ways, especially decorating. How to Make EL Wire A thin strand of copper that is coated with a layer of phosphor is the first piece of material used to Read More
