		<title>555 Based Feeding Timer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The fish feeding timer is based on a simple monostable 555 circuit and a relay to drive the load (the return pump in this case). The circuit is setup as simple monostable 555 multivibrator, a.k.a a one shot trigger or timer.The timing period can be adjusted by turning the potentiometer.Link

		<title>Polysensor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The development team of this project aim to develop sensors for measuring ionic contaminants (pH, Chloride ion, Potassium, Mercury, Fluoride, Arsenic, Lead, Iron, Cadmium, Sulphate and Nitrate) as well as for some physical parameters (like conductance and salinity) for water quality testing. Polysensor can now measure six parameters simultaneously (pH, NO3-, Cl-, EC, TDS and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Pulse Width Modulation Control</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is a simple Pulse Width Modulation Controller using a 555 that can go from about 1% to 99% Duty Cycle and Control High Currents to run lights or motors. This particular circuit was built for 12 volt DC operation, but can be operated at other voltages assuming you don&#8217;t exceed the 555 operating supply [...]]]></description>

		<title>Power MOSFET RGB LED driver</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This RGB LED driver uses logic level &#8216;N&#8217; channel high power MOSFETs which allow it to control LED arrays or lamps at up to 5 amps per channel without heatsinks. The main unit control by PIC16F683. The circuit will operate from a supply voltage in the range 9 to 24 volts. Link

		<title>Low-Cost RS232 Multiplexer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This multiplexer allows up to 4 devices to be connected to one single RS232 port. Via stacked multiplexers, even an arbitrary number of devices can be controlled with one single port. An example would be connecting multiple stepper-motor controllers to a single RS232 port. The simultaneous data reception mechanism allows a simultaneous movement of all [...]]]></description>

		<title>RF Communication Between BASIC Stamps Using 2-meter HT Radios</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This example uses Tigertronics RTX-12 Radio Modem and Parallax BASIC Stamp 2, though it may be substituted with any microcontroller. The example includes two sets of programs: a simple version that lacks error checking and a more complete example with checksums. Link
