Communications
The June issue of Circuit Cellar is now available and features articles on both human-to-machine (H2M) and machine-to-machine communication. Log in to read about Kevin Gorga's "AC Tester" project, an isolated variable voltage power source that includes an electronic circuit breaker for testing and debugging equipment. An mbed controller displays voltage and current, and it controls the breaker's trip point and response time.
The month's featured Q&A is with Aubrey Kagan. Circuit Cellar has published 15 of Aubrey's articles from 2000 to 2010. To read these articles and more, and to download your digital issue, visit www.gotomycc.com.
