Datalogging Accelerometer Data To An SDCard


https://www.electronics-lab.com/datalogging-accelerometer-data-to-an-sdcard/

MindForge @ 43oh.com build a datalogger board which logs accelerometer values on a SD Card. The datalogger is built around an MSP430G2755 microcontroller and ADXL335 accelerometer sensor from Analog Devices. his project started as an EMG datalogger to study my dad’s Parkinson’s disease, but after some testing I determined wearing electrodes wasn’t practical for the long term […]

Remote WiFi DHT11 Temperature an Humidity Display


https://www.electronics-lab.com/remote-wifi-dht11-temperature-an-humidity-display/

BoianM @ instructables.com shows us how to build a remote temperature and humidity display using DHT11 sensor and two ESP8266 modules. To program the ESP8266 modules a visual programming software is used. The advantage of the ESP8266 over Arduino and other controllers is the builtin Wi-Fi. In this Instructable I will show you how with the […]

A beginner’s guide to Arduino


https://www.electronics-lab.com/a-beginners-guide-to-arduino/

tttapa @ instructables.com has posted a detailed introduction to Arduino, mainly focused on beginners. It starts from the basic concepts of electronics and goes through different Arduino examples such as LED blink to stepper motor drive. After some years of experimenting with Arduino, I decided that the time has come to share the knowledge I’ve acquired. […]

Raspberry Pi Clever airplane tracker


https://www.electronics-lab.com/clever-airplane-tracker/

Jeremy B. Merrill lives near the LaGuardia airport and a lot of planes fly over his house all day long, so he decided to build a LED display showing the departure airport of the airplane that’s flying overhead. For that reason he used a Raspberry Pi, a Software-Defined Radio antenna and open source software that collects […]
