A DC Motor Controller with Control Leds
https://www.electronics-lab.com/dc-motor-controller-control-leds/
Boris Landoni writes about a new open source project a DC motor controller with control LEDs: The circuit board we are presenting this time is based on the dual-bridge driver L298N, in a traditionally mounted version in a Multiwatt container with 15 staggered pins; it has two terminal blocks for attaching to DC motors or the […]
Adjustable constant current source
https://www.electronics-lab.com/adjustable-constant-current-source/
Dilshan Jayakody has published a new build: The current source introduced in this article is capable to handle current up to 6A with maximum input voltage of 50V. This is an operational amplifier based adjustable current source and it uses LM358 in a general voltage follower configuration. To handle large currents we use four 0.1Ω […]

Ingenerare @ instructables.com show us an easy to build IoT weather station able to measure temperature, dew point, humidity, pressure, light index, and rain. He writes: A weather station is a fun project that teaches you a ton about electronics with the added benefit being an actually useful little device. The project requires a bunch […]
LTC7820 – Fixed Ratio High Power Inductorless (Charge Pump) DC/DC Controller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ltc7820-fixed-ratio-high-power-inductorless-charge-pump-dcdc-controller/
The LTC7820 is a fixed ratio high voltage high power switched capacitor/charge pump controller. The device includes four N-channel MOSFET gate drivers to drive external power MOSFETs in voltage divider, doubler or inverter configurations. The device achieves a 2:1 stepdown ratio from an input voltage as high as 72V, a 1:2 step-up ratio from an […]

Researchers at UCLA have developed an improved method to detect the presence of DNA biomarkers of disease that is compatible with use outside of a hospital or lab setting. The new technique leverages the sensors and optics of cellphones to read light produced by a new detector dye mixture that reports the presence of DNA […]
DI2C -The Differential Version of I2C
https://www.electronics-lab.com/di2c-differential-version-i2c/
In serial interface world, there are differential and non-differential protocols. The most famous one of differential interfaces is USB besides HDMI and others, while I2C is a non-differential one. Joshua Vasquez from Hackaday decided to use DI2C (differential version of I2C) to communicate with a string of BNO055 sensor boards (a smart 9-DOF sensor with […]
