Shopping with Lankatronics.com and Aptinex

Last weekend I got chance to visit to Aptinex (Pvt.) Ltd.  Aptinex is a Sri Lankan startup company and they are mainly do Electronic circuit designing, PCB prototyping, mass-production of PCBs, selling electronic components, development kits, etc. In my last visit I order some dsPICs, Atmel ATmega MCUs and some SMD passive parts from them. They have good collection of development kits and programmers which include Arduino, MSP430 base kits, ARM development boards, Altera FPGA kits, etc.

Another interesting thing they have is electro-mechanical parts. They have various kinds of actuator modules, servo mechanisms, gear systems and controllers. I think this is good news to Sri Lankan DIY electronic community, because right now it is bit difficult to get these items in local electronic shops.

According to Aptinex, Lankatronics.com is there market place. Lankatronics.com operates in both real and virtual nature. Anyone can order Aptinex products through this site and they have nice and quick delivery system. One interesting feature in this site is “suggest an item” page. As per my discussion with them they don't have minimum order quantity and customers can order “special/rare” parts through them for prototyping purposes also.

I believe this is an excellent opportunity to Sri Lankan DIY electronic community and like to rate there effort with a clear 5 out of 5!

Contact details of Lankatronics.com and Aptinex are as follows:

LankaTronics Trading (Pvt) Ltd.
34/1, Old Kesbewa Road,
Rattanapitiya,

dose this site 'Lankatronics.com' sell real genuine products.. i really don't think so.most of the stuff they sell are cheap ebay stuff.
and this 'Aptinex comapany' really do 'Embedded Design for complex systems'
'Digital Design using FPGAs'....

I buy electronic components, modules, robot stuff from LankaTronic.com more often. The product quality is superb. They deliver items to doorstep. That's a great convenience.

They have original Arduino boards, Original Texas Instruments DSP boards, etc... Basically these can't be found anywhere in Sri Lanka.

They also have 1% tolerance resistors, 1% SMD resistors, capacitors, etc... Basically they are the only guys who do these.

More than everything LankaTronics and Aptinex run by a set of genuine engineers. Not just a few sales guys.

Also, owner of this blog who has written this article had visited this company by himself.

Give a try without any risk.

Building the TD4 4-Bit CPU

The TD4 is a famous 4-bit CPU featured in the book How to Build a CPU by Kaoru Tonami . The book focuses on constructing a functional processor entirely from basic 74-series TTL logic ICs. While the book is unfortunately only available in Japanese, a friend from Japan sent me a copy along with a TD4 PCB. I believe the PCB is based on the open-source design files available on BG5DIW's GitHub repository . "How to Build CPU" book and the PCB. Recently, I finally found the time to build and experiment with it. The project took a few months, as I had to translate the book myself to grasp the core concepts. The overall design is simple and elegant, offering a set of 12 instructions and a 16-byte ROM (implemented via DIP switches) for programming. The board operates on 5V and can be powered via USB. Most components were sourced from local shops, though I had to order a few 74HC-series ICs online. Later, I tested the circuit by replacing some 74HC components with 74LS series...

CD2003 - yet another simple FM radio receiver

In the last few days, we are looking for some simple FM radio receiver to integrate into one of our ongoing projects. For that, we try several FM radio receiver ICs including TDA7000, CD2003/TA2003/TA8164, CXA1019, and KA22429. Out of all those chips we select CD2003 (or TA2003/TA8164) based receiver for our project because of its simplicity and outstanding performance. Except to CD2003, Sony CXA1019 also perform well but we drop it because of its higher component count. We design our receiver based on Toshiba TA2003 datasheet and later we try TA8164 and CD2003 with the same circuit. Either CD2003 or TA8164 can directly replace TA2003 IC, and as per our observations, TA8164 gives excellent results out of those 3 chips. A prototype version of CD2003 FM radio receiver The PCB design and schematic which we used in our prototype project are available to download at google drive (including pin-outs of crystal filters and inductors ). Except for CD2003 IC, this receiver consist...

Arduino superheterodyne receiver

In this project, we extend the shortwave superheterodyne receiver we developed a few years ago . Like the previous design, this receiver operates on the traditional superheterodyne principle.  In this upgrade, we enhanced the local oscillator with Si5351 clock generator module and Arduino control circuit. Compared to the old design, this new receiver uses an improved version of an intermediate frequency amplifier with 3 I.F transformers. In this new design, we divide this receiver into several blocks, which include, mixer with a detector, a local oscillator, and an I.F amplifier. The I.F amplifier builds into one PCB. The filter stage, mixer, and detector stages place in another PCB. Prototype version of 455kHz I.F amplifier. In this prototype build, the Si5351 clock generator drives using an Arduino Uno board. With the given sketch, the user can tune and switch the shortwave meter bands using a rotary encoder. The supplied sketch support clock generation from 5205kHz (tuner f...
