Radioactivity detection using very simple ionization chamber
https://www.electronics-lab.com/radioactivity-detection-using-simple-ionization-chamber/
Robert Gawron tipped us with his latest build. He writes: Today I will show a very simple ionization chamber that can detect radioactivity. I was able to detect with it ionizing radiation from a smoke detector (Am241 isotope). It’s also immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to a good shielding. Radioactivity detection using very simple […]
+/- 1.7g Dual-Axis IMEMS Accelerometer Using ADXL203
https://www.electronics-lab.com/1-7g-dual-axis-imems-accelerometer-using-adxl203/
The ADXL203 Module is high precision, low power, complete dual-axis accelerometers with signal conditioned voltage outputs, all on a single, monolithic IC. The ADXL203 measure acceleration with a full-scale range of ±1.7 g, ±5 g, or ±18 g. The ADXL203 can measure both dynamic acceleration (for example, vibration) and static acceleration (for example, gravity).The typical […]
The Newest IDE 1.8.0 Unites Arduino Family
https://www.electronics-lab.com/newest-ide-1-8-0-unites-arduino-family/
The open-source Arduino Software (IDE) makes it easy to write code and upload it to the board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The environment is written in Java and based on Processing and other open-source software. Arduino has just launched its latest software version: IDE 1.8.0! What makes this software special […]
Apollo2 MCU Paves The Way For New Generation IoT Devices
https://www.electronics-lab.com/apollo2-mcu-paves-way-new-generation-iot-devices/
Ambiq Micro, the leader in ultra-low power solutions, launched the Apollo 2 Wearables and IoT Platform. The Platform offers breakthrough power consumption of under 10 μA/MHz, which allows for double the battery life in wearable devices. Apollo 2’s performance will lead to longer battery life, enhanced intelligence and improved functionality in wearables and IoT consumer […]
DIY Breathalyzer Using Arduino UNO
https://www.electronics-lab.com/diy-breathalyzer-using-arduino/
Today I am going to discuss how to make a very simple DIY Breathalyzer using Arduino UNO and few external components. Ana Carolina designed this project as an instructable in instructables.com. This is a low-cost project and a useful one too. If you have no idea about what breathalyzer is, let me explain briefly: A breathalyzer is a device […]
Replacing a dead iPhone battery
https://www.electronics-lab.com/replacing-dead-iphone-battery/
Brian Dipert discuss his experience replacing an iphone battery @ edn.com: About a week ago, in preparing to run some errands, I plugged my iPhone 4S into the charger in my car so that I could stream Pandora while I drove. Oddly, a “this accessory may not be supported” message appeared on-screen; when I unplugged […]

How to Set Up the DHT11 Humidity Sensor on an Arduino
https://www.electronics-lab.com/set-dht11-humidity-sensor-arduino/
circuitbasics.com has a new tutorial on how to interface DHT11 humidity sensor to Arduino board. Sample code is provided Because of their low cost and small size, DHT11 humidity and temperature sensors are perfect for lots of different DIY electronics projects. Some projects where the DHT11 would be useful include remote weather stations, home environment control systems, and […]
Nuclear physics applied in smoke detectors
https://www.electronics-lab.com/nuclear-physics-applied-smoke-detectors/
by robertgawron.blogspot.com: Not many people know, but in some smoke detectors, radioactive materials play an essential role. Today I will present one of those devices, and my -successful- attempt to reverse engineer it and get the circuit diagram. Nuclear physics applied in smoke detectors – [Link]
