HTC exec confirms next generation J Butterfly handset

HTC Marketing Chief Ben Ho confirmed that the company will be rolling out a successor to the J Butterfly due to high demand, reports Focus Taiwan.

The HTC J Butterfly was launched last year in several Asia territories, to much fan fare. It later saw a US launch labeled as the Droid DNA, which at the time was boasted as one of the top Android handsets on the market. Now, of course, it is outdone by the HTC One that is set for worldwide rollout in the coming weeks.

Ho didn't go into specifics on what the J Butterfly may feature or when it will be released. Given that Verizon isn't slated to carry the HTC One out of the gate, a Droid DNA follow up makes perfect sense, though Ho didn't comment on it. Europe will more than likely be out of the mix for either the J Butterfly or DNA variant.

Last month, Twitter user @LlabTooFeR reported the Droid DNA follow-upwill feature a 1.7GHz Qualcomm APQ8064 processor, 4.7-inch 1080p display, 13-megapixel rear-camera, 2.1-megapixel front-camera, 2GB of RAM, Bluetooth 4, Wi-Fi, SD card support, Android Jelly Bean, and Sense 5. It's worth noting that specs run very close to the HTC One, though UltraPixel tech doesn't seem to be present.

At any rate, folks in Asia who can't wait for their J Butterfly can sleep a little easier knowing that it's on the way, but weep at the loss of UltraPixel tech if rumours are to be believed.

A basic Arduino Solar PV Monitor

I have just recently had solar pv installed, mainly to future proof my energy costs, I do not expect it to be like drilling for oil in my back garden, however the return looks to be encouraging. The install gives you another single unit meter, from this you will see the total amount the panels produce, but that is about it. I wanted to know how much the production was as it was happening, I discovered the light blinks on the front of the meter will flash 1000 times for each kWh of electricity which passes through. The rate of the flashing of the LED tells you how much power is currently passing through the meter. [ ]

Build a Key Operated Gate Locking System Circuit

This simple key-operated gate locking system allows only those persons who know the preset code to open the gate. The code is to be entered from the keypad within the preset time to operate the motor fitted in the gate. If anyone trying to open the gate presses a wrong key in the keypad, the system is disabled and, at the same time, sounds an alarm to alert you of an unauthorized entry. Figs 1 and 2 show the block and circuit diagrams of the key-operated code locking system, respectively. Connect points A, B, C, D, E, F and ground of the circuit to the respective points of the keypad. Keys S7, S16, S14 and S3 are used here for code entry, and the remaining keys are used for disabling the system. It is very important to press the keys in that order to form the code. To start the motor of the gate, press switches S7, S16, S14 and S3 sequentially. If the keys are pressed in a different order from the preset order, the system will lock automatically and the motor will not start. Fig. 1: Bl...

Simple But Automatic Load Sensing Power Switch

This circuit will automatically switch on several mains-powered "slave" loads when a "master" load is turned on. For example, it will switch on the amplifier and CD player in a stereo system when the receiver is turned on. It works by sensing the current draw of the "master" device through a low value high wattage resistor using a comparator. The output of that comparator then switches on the "slave" relay. The circuit can be built into a power bar, extension cord or power center to provide a convenient set of "smart" outlets that switch on when the master appliance is powered (turn on the computer monitor and the computer, printer and other peripherals come on as well). Automatic Load Sensing Power Switch Circuit Diagram Parts List: Notes: This circuit is designed for 120V operation. For 240V operation, resistors R2 and R6 will need to be changed. A maximum of 5A can be used as the master unless the wattage of R1 is increased S1 provid...
