An Easy Way To Roll Your Own Programmable Power Supply
Adjusting the output voltage of a power supply is a feature typically reserved for highly integrated handheld power-management units (PMUs) with multiple integrated power supplies. You can implement this feature, however, with any power supply by adding a single resistor and an inexpensive digital-to-analog converter (DAC) (Fig. 1). While this technique isn’t new, the equations to select... — Marc Davis-Marsh , et al.

Proximity-Sensing Intercom Uses Standard Programmable SoC
Designers can use specialized ICs as a simple way to add touch-sensing capabilities to a circuit. For instance, the Cypress CapSense devices can handle several touch buttons and a touch slider. In some designs, however, one button might suffice. One example is a “touch-to-talk” intercom application. In this case, a mixed-signal programmable system-on-a-chip (PSoC) will do. The PSoC has digital blocks that can be configured as a sensitive proximity detector and... — Chris Paiano The purpose is as follows.... we have software video capture program, and we have an external usb switch mapped to start and stop recording via a simple momentary button switch. The rub is that there is no visual feedback that the button has been pushed, eg that recording is happening. Until the software coders get around to a send on start to the usb bus, we can't get feedback out, so we have to fake it by having the same switch toggle an LED at the same time as it toggles the start/stop button in the software.

Having constructed several test circuits posted on various DIY electronics sites, I realize I know too little to make any needed changes to the designs...and we need it sooner than I am likely to learn all I need to know. Hence this post.

Some paramaters:
On power up of the computer, the LED should stay off, and on pushing the momentary button the LED should go on, and go off when the switch is pushed again. Very simple in theory. Not so easy in practice!

I used this bistable flip-flop Circuits Page 9 and substituted a resistor for the left hand LED, but it is not reliably "left-handed" on startup. I also added the mentioned 1K resistor in parallel with the LED to make sure it really goes off as the flip-flop changes states. I also added a 1uF capacitor to the base of one of the transistors as was suggested to add a delay and ensure handedness, but it didn't do what was expected and I've run out of experimentation time...I need a circuit that works reliably.

So...the board should be either 5V or 12V, eg power supplied from a standard ATX power supply, preferably 5V via the USB bus. It should have one set of terminals for the LED, one for the switch, and one for power. Otherwise choice of approach (555 IC, 4013 IC, a modified version of the one I tried) is up to you, as long as it does those few things.

Micro-Structured Transducer Accurately Measures Pressure
Today’s micro- and nano-structured sensors boast excellent linearity, resolution, and wide measurement ranges. As a result, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are playing an increasing role in many more applications. This design describes a novel use of such a sensor—a non-contact differential variable-reluctance transducer (NCDVRT)—in the pressure port of a system. The application involves the selection of a stainless-steel membrane and... — J. Jayapandian , et al.

Tame Switching Supply Noise While Maintaining Efficiency
A number of situations could benefit from the high efficiency of a switched power supply, save for the supply’s intrinsically high noise level. For example, an optical communications application using a large number of laser diodes could employ a switched power supply to avoid the need for heat-removal techniques. However, the laser diodes require a noiseless environment. A hasty decision to use a switcher would not be rewarding ... — Samuel Kerem
