E. Schrama @ ejo60.wordpress.com uses an Arduino and a DCF77 time signal receiver to test the stability of an ovenized crystal oscillator running at 1 MHz. In this experiment I will use an Arduino and a DCF77 time signal radio receiver to measure the stability of an ovenized crystal oscillator running at 1 MHz. It […]
Non-Contact Body Temperature Meter
https://www.electronics-lab.com/non-contact-body-temperature-meter/
One of the most commonly used medical instruments nowadays is the thermometer. The thermometer is used to monitor or measure the body temperature of a sick person. The idea of creating a thermometer started from a device called thermoscope, a thermometer without a scale. Several inventors developed it until Sir Thomas Allbutt invented the first […]
ARPM: Another Raspberry Pi Microscope

Dr H @ instructables.com build a Raspberry Pi based microscope using a WaveShare B-camera and plexiglass parts. He writes: Based on the RPI camera and LEGO brick-based microscope I presented earlier ( A-Raspberry-Pi-camera-based-microscope-built-from- LEGO ) I have constructed a similar microscope build from Plexiglas parts. So you may build your microscope even w/o having a LEGO […]
DIY Sunlight Simulator – Light Therapy Light
