Snapmaker, The Modular & Multi-Functional 3D Printer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/snapmaker-modular-multi-functional-3d-printer/
Snapmaker is a Kickstarter project with a lofty goal: to be the holy trinity for at-home makers by using detachable modules to convert between a 3D printer, a CNC carver, and a laser engraver. In retrospect, the idea seems almost obvious. All three devices need three-axis motors to work: so why not combine them into […]
ICP12 USBSTICK, A New Tool for Signals Control & Monitoring
https://www.electronics-lab.com/icp12-usbstick-new-tool-signals-control-monitoring/
iCircuit Technologies had produced the iCP12 usbStick, a mini size 28 pin USB PIC IO development board and a good tool for signal monitoring (as oscilloscope), data acquisition and circuit troubleshooting at 1mSec/Samples period. The iCP12 usbStick is a PIC18F2550 based USB development board that comes preloaded with Microchip’s USB HID bootloader which allows users […]
ReRAM, Process Data Where They Are Stored
https://www.electronics-lab.com/reram-process-data-stored/
Because data storage and processor are separated from each other, moving data between the storage and the computation unit became a main factor in computing. Many techniques were developed to speed up this process, such as pipelining, caching, and look-ahead execution, but “ReRAM” appears as a new technique to solve the root of the problem […]
5V to 12V @400mA Boost Converter
https://www.electronics-lab.com/5v-12v-400ma-boost-converter/
The circuit presented here is about a boost converter based on LM2698. It is a PWM boost converter from Texas instruments. LM2698 can also be used as a flyback converter. The current mode architecture is a special feature of LM2698, which provides superior line and load regulation. This circuit is capable of a supplying a […]
Amplifier requires no dc bias

john guy @ edn.com writes: Intrinsically capacitive transducers and other high-impedance signal sources usually require ac coupling and a buffer amplifier to condition the signal for further processing. Buffers take many forms, but most of them compromise signal quality through the use of external resistors that provide a dc path for the input bias current. […]
LiFePO4wered/Solar1 – Solar power supply for IoT devices
https://www.electronics-lab.com/lifepo4weredsolar1-solar-power-supply-iot-devices/
Patrick Van Oosterwijck @ hackaday.io writes: Solar power is not trivial, especially if it needs to be reliable and have a long lifetime for outdoor deployment such as IoT sensor nodes. This project is an effort to create a complete, easy to use solar power system that provides the following features: – LiFePO4 battery for […]

Body Heat Provides Wearables With Eternal Power
https://www.electronics-lab.com/body-heat-provides-wearables-eternal-power/
The first watch to make use of the body’s natural heat to uphold battery charge in wearables is now even being crowdfunded on Indiegogo. Who else but researchers from Texas A&M University (a hot place) came up with the solution. In today’s wearables battery life is a bottleneck, as increasing amounts of technology gets packed into lightweight designs comfortable enough for everyday wear. That’s why Texas A&M professor Choongho […]
