Giovanni Carrera discuss how to achieve an isolated analog output on Arduino. He writes: This project completes the series of my articles about the Arduino analog I/O with the aim to use it as a controller of small automation systems. In control systems of the industrial plants it is always advisable to isolate both the […]

A $20 Heart Rate Module For Health-Tech Projects


https://www.electronics-lab.com/20-heart-rate-module-health-tech-projects/

Heart rate monitoring is a common procedure for most of health related projects. Therefore, producing sensors modules and circuit boards for such tasks will facilitate and push forward the development of new health-tech projects. Maxim Integrated, an analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits manufacturer, has developed a new module for measuring heart rate and pulse oximetry. […]

STMicroelectronics and HMicro have announced a single-chip product for disposable, clinical-grade wearable patches and biosensors, to replace wires for vital-sign monitors and electrocardiograms. The IC technology developed by HMicro and ST also targets other high-volume clinical and industrial-IoT applications. By Graham Prophet@ edn.com: Hmicro is a wireless solutions developer working in wireless peripherals and complex […]

FFTs and oscilloscopes: A practical guide


https://www.electronics-lab.com/ffts-oscilloscopes-practical-guide/

Arthur Pini @ edn.com published a guide on how to use FFT found in most modern oscilloscopes. The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) first appeared when microprocessors entered commercial design in the 1970s. Today almost every oscilloscope from high-priced laboratory models to the lowest-priced hobby models offer FFT analysis. The FFT is a powerful tool, but […]

Dejan Nedelkovski build an Arduino-powered MP3 Music Player plus Alarm Clock. The player has a 3.2″ TFT display and the home screen displays time, date and temperature along with touch control buttons. In this project I will show you how you can make an Arduino Touch Screen MP3 Music Player and Alarm Clock. You can watch the following video or […]

Lightweight Body Heat – Electricity Converter


https://www.electronics-lab.com/lightweight-body-heat-electricity-converter/

Powering wearable technologies using thermoelectric generators (TEGs) is becoming more efficient. An undergraduate student in North Carolina University, Haywood Hunter, is producing a lightweight and an efficient wearable thermoelectric generator. It generates electricity by making use of the temperature differential between the body and the ambient air.This converter produces 20 times more electricity than other […]

LTM2889 – Isolated CAN FD µModule Transceiver and Power


https://www.electronics-lab.com/ltm2889-isolated-can-fd-%c2%b5module-transceiver-power/

The LTM2889 is a fully ISO 11898-2 compliant CAN (controller area network) μModule transceiver and isolator that guards against large ground-to-ground differentials and common mode transients in 3.3V or 5V applications. In practical CAN systems, ground potentials vary widely from node to node, often exceeding the tolerable range, which can result in an interruption of […]
