Jesus Echavarria has tipped us with his latest project. A car battery monitor in a Relay form Factor. Unfortunately only hardware details are given and no details on software. He writes: Hi all! I’m really busy this year so I can’t post all the projects where I’m involved. Here’s one of the design I do […]
uStepper – Controlling Stepper Motor with ease
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ustepper-controlling-stepper-motor-with-ease/
But what is uStepper? In short, uStepper is a product, improving performance of a motor type called “stepper motors”. Stepper motors are used in a wide range of applications where you have to move something, a certain distance, precisely! For example, they are used in your inkjet printer for moving the ink cartridge back and […]
Femtosecond Electronics With Plasmonic Hot Electron Nano-emitters
https://www.electronics-lab.com/femtosecond-electronics-with-plasmonic-hot-electron-nano-emitters/
A team led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) physicists Alexander Holleitner and Reinhard Kienberger has found success for the first time in generating ultrashort electric pulses on a chip. They made this possible by using asymmetric metal antennas only a few nanometers in dimension, then running the signals a few millimeters above the […]

One thing technology has taught us in the last few years, is the so-called powerful devices of yesterday, will not match the devices of today or tomorrow and this is something that is transcending in the hardware industry. Maker’s board have seen a drastic improvement ever since the first Arduino and the Rasberry Pi Single Board […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/cortexprog-is-a-cortex-m-programmer-and-debugger/
The ARM Cortex family of 32-bit RISC-based processors has emerged as the leading processor core in embedded designs due to its efficient architecture, robust and scalable instruction set, and extensive base of development tools and software. Cortex-M MCUs has been one of the most used microcontrollers for embedded systems and they have seen applications in various […]
Particle sensor with LoRa
https://www.electronics-lab.com/particle-sensor-with-lora/
Mare published a new build: Particle sensors could be cheap and easy to use. Disadvantage of lowest cost PM sensors is lack of “calibration”. The best method to measure particle content dispensed in the air is to collect the air sample and analyse it off-line in the laboratory with proper equipment (not cheap at all). […]
STM8S903K3T6C 8Bit Microcontroller from STMicroelectronics
https://www.electronics-lab.com/stm8s903k3t6c-8bit-microcontroller-from-stmicroelectronics/
If an 8bit microcontroller is needed… If an 8bit microcontroller is needed, Microchip normally comes up first. STMicroelectronics, a company more commonly associated with 32-bit processors, also offers quite a bit of eight bit technology. The STM8S903K3T6C, which we are going to introduce today, is a classic member of the family. First of all, take […]
