The Aurora Boxealis – A Color Sensing and Mirroring Project
https://www.electronics-lab.com/aurora-boxealis-color-sensing-mirroring-project/
Besides looking damned good on an otherwise bland and ordinary desk, this project is about more than just being attention grabbing eye candy. It’s about demonstrating a small portion of our single board computer capabilities by hooking up a color sensor, RGB light strip, and enclosing it in a nice looking wooden enclosure. We’re dubbing […]
Arduino PICO, The Tiny Arduino-Compatible Board
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-pico-tiny-compatible-arduino/
MellBell, the Canadian-based hardware and electronics company, has launched their first product: Arduino PICO! At first, the company says that Arduino PICO is the smallest Arduino compatible board ever, since it is 0.6″ x 0.6″ inch sized (~15mm squared). This tiny fully-fledged arduino-compatible board has a Leonardo-compatible 16MHz ATMEGA32U4 chip and a micro-USB port. The main cause […]

Romeo BLE is an all-in-one Arduino based control board specially designed for robotics applications from DFRobot. This platform is open source and it’s powered by thousands of publicly available open-sourced codes. Romeo BLE can easily be expanded using Arduino shields. The most important feature—Bluetooth 4.0 wireless communication, allows the board to receive commands via Bluetooth. […]
Harvesting Sound Energy From Passing Cars
https://www.electronics-lab.com/harvesting-sound-energy-passing-cars/
by Mechanical Attraction @ instructables.com: There is energy everywhere around us and in many different forms. Many devices have been developed to harvest light, wind, waves, and more. One unusual place of energy harvesting is from passing cars. As cars pass by some of their energy is released in form of sound. Even though the […]
Should you build or buy your next single-board computer?
https://www.electronics-lab.com/build-buy-next-single-board-computer/
by Markku Riihonen @ EDN Europe: Does it make sense to design and build your own single-board computers? It used to be the sensible option for anyone concerned about matching features to production cost. Traditionally, with your own board design, you have the freedom to add only the components that are absolutely vital to achieving […]
