Kerimil, user on Arduino Forum, submitted his project which focuses on establishing communication between an Arduino board and an android mobile using bluetooth: The idea is to gain access to hardware on Android devices (accelerometers, gyro, wifi connectivity, gps, GPRS,...

Paul Martinsen @ megunolink.com discuss about noise in analog input of arduino and how to filter it. He examines 3 filtering algorithms: Averaging, Running average, Exponential filter and provides the code to achieve that. Measurements from the real world often contain noise. Loosely...

A DIY USB power bank made from an old laptop battery @ DoItYourselfGadgets: A situation many can relate to: an empty smartphone battery and no outlet around! That’s exactly why I recycled an old laptop battery into an USB power bank. This article will show you the basic powerbank...

Electronupdate did a teardown and analysis of a cheap four function calculator: It’s such an amazingly old looking die. Even with 400x magnification it would not be too hard to reverse engineer back to a schematic! This must be a very old design indeed. When one thinks of...
