Features
14 The Australian Synchrotron
Located close to Monash University, this impressive circular, megavoltage
machine enables investigators to determine the structure and composition
of various materials with extremely high detail – by Dr David Maddison
22 Getting The Most From ADSL
PIC/AVR Programming Adaptor
Board, Pt.1 – Page 30.
30.
Most of us owe our high-speed Internet access to the freakish technology
of ADSL. But what exactly is it, how does it work and how do you solve slow
speed problems? – by Alan Ford
Pro jects To Build
30 PIC/AVR Programming Adaptor Board; Pt.1
Do you often need to program microcontrollers? This board, combined with an
In-Circuit Serial Programmer (ICSP), allows you to quickly program most 8-bit
& 16-bit PIC microcontrollers as well as 8-bit Atmel AVRs – by Nicholas Vinen
40 High-Temperature Thermometer/Thermostat
Need to measure or control temperature over a very wide range? This compact
unit hooks up to a K-type thermocouple, can measure temperatures from -50°C
to +1200°C and drives a relay for thermostatic control – by John Clarke
High-Temperature Thermometer/
Thermostat – Page 40.
68 1.5kW Induction Motor Speed Controller, Pt.2
Second article details the construction and testing and gives guidelines on its
use – by Andrew Levido
84 SemTest Discrete Semiconductor Test Set; Pt.3
Follow this article to build and test this useful unit. We also describe how to
fit a crowbar circuit to quickly discharge the HT after making high-voltage
measurements – by Jim Rowe
