Maximize the Energy from Long-Life Batteries


https://www.electronics-lab.com/maximize-energy-long-life-batteries/

by digikey.com: Battery lifetime is a key consideration for the development of the wireless sensor nodes that will populate the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). In many applications, the sensor nodes will need to be installed in locations that are difficult to reach let alone service. The sensor nodes need to be autonomous in terms […]

How to Interface Flux Sensor


https://www.electronics-lab.com/interface-flux-sensor/

This tutorial is going to teach you the basics on using Flux Sensor: It is a flex sensor which is 2.2 inches in length. This sensor works by bending the sensor itself. As the sensor is being flexed or bent, the resistance across the sensor increases. The greater the angle of bending, the greater the […]

An Introduction to LiPo Batteries


https://www.electronics-lab.com/an-introduction-to-lipo-batteries/

Average Man Vs Raspberry Pi has a handy article on LiPo batteries. LiPo batteries – to fear or not to fear? Up until very recently, I was petrified. Whilst most other competitors at Pi Wars 2015 were happily using this angry and volatile battery technology, Average Man over here was assuming he was playing it safe using heavy NiMH […]

Basics of the I2C Communication Protocol


https://www.electronics-lab.com/basics-i2c-communication-protocol/

circuitbasics.com talks about the I2C protocol, it’s use and it’s advantages and disadvantages. I2C combines the best features of SPI and UARTs. With I2C, you can connect multiple slaves to a single master (like SPI) and you can have multiple masters controlling single, or multiple slaves. This is really useful when you want to have more than […]
