A Compact Camera Using Raspberry Pi A+ And Adafruit TFT Display
https://www.electronics-lab.com/compact-camera-using-raspberry-pi-adafruit-tft-display/
PiJuice at instructables.com designed an interesting compact camera project with raspberry pi. Raspberry Pi A+ is used in this project as it is the cheapest and smallest available Raspberry Pi. The real challenge in this kind of portable Pi projects is powering the Raspberry Pi. This issue is solved using PiJuice—an all in one battery module for the […]
GPS vs. Beacons vs. Wi-Fi: Three Location Identifier Technologies
https://www.electronics-lab.com/gps-vs-beacons-vs-wi-fi-three-location-identifier-technologies/
In IoT and digital age, location-based services applications are widespread: starting from Google maps to anti-loss devices and not ending with location-based marketing. The most common technologies used for user location identification are: GPS, WiFi and Beacons (a custom BLE profile). Location-based (geofencing) marketing is a new way to enhance the personal experience while shopping. […]
RASPILIGHT: an open project for Ambilight TV effect
https://www.electronics-lab.com/raspilight-open-project-ambilight-tv-effect/
LucaBellan @ open-electronics.org re-created the Ambilight TV effect on any other TV using Raspberry and Kodi. He writes: The screen’s edges are divided into logic sectors, and each sector is associated with a specific LED and, by making a color average of the pixels, you can find the color to set to be reproduced by […]
Bismuth Oxyiodide (BiOI)—A Non-toxic Alternative To Solar Cells
https://www.electronics-lab.com/bismuth-oxyiodide-bioi-non-toxic-alternative-solar-cells/
Bismuth is considered as a “green-element” and bismuth-based compounds are gaining attention as potentially non-toxic and defect-tolerant solar absorbers. The researchers of the University of Cambridge and the United States developed theoretical and experimental methods to show that bismuth, which sits next to lead (Pb) on the periodic table, can be used to make inexpensive solar cells. […]

Flat microscope for the brain could help restore lost eyesight
https://www.electronics-lab.com/flat-microscope-brain-help-restore-lost-eyesight/
by Jon Fingas @ Engadget: You’d probably prefer that doctors restore lost sight or hearing by directly repairing your eyes and ears, but Rice University is one step closer to the next best thing: transmitting info directly to your brain. It’s developing a flat microscope (the creatively titled FlatScope) that sits on your brain to both […]
Movidius Deep Learning USB Stick by Intel
https://www.electronics-lab.com/movidius-deep-learning-usb-stick-intel/
Last week, Intel launched the Movidius Neural Compute Stick, which is a deep learning processor on a USB stick. This USB stick was not an Intel invention. In fact, Intel had acquired Movidius company that had produced last year the world’s first deep learning processor on a USB stick based around their Myriad 2 Vision Processor. Neural Compute Stick […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/pulse-generator-stepper-controller-using-ad654/
This stepper pulse generator project is an easy solution for stepper controller drive. It’s a very important tool and can be used to drive stepper in standalone mode. It generates square wave pulses in frequency range 0-50Khz. This project has multiple features which are a must for stepper controller. It has on board frequency generator […]
Next Generation Solar Cell That Can Capture Nearly All Energy of Solar Spectrum
https://www.electronics-lab.com/next-generation-solar-cell-can-capture-nearly-energy-solar-spectrum/
Researchers developed a multijunction solar cell on a GaSb substrate that can efficiently convert the long-wavelength photons typically lost in a multijunction solar cell into electricity. This prototype cell has an efficiency of 44.5% which is higher than conventional solar cells. A GaAs-based cell is stacked mechanically with the GaSb-based materials to create a four-terminal, five […]
