David Johnson-Davies published another great project. It’s an IR remote that supports the most popular control protocols. The IR Remote Wand is a universal remote control that you can program with up to five codes to control a variety of different products: It supports some of the most popular IR remote control protocols: Philips RC-5, […]
LoRa module in DIL form
https://www.electronics-lab.com/lora-module-dil-form/
Mare writes: Murata produces LoRa module CMWX1ZZABZ-xxx based on SX1276 transceiver and STM32L072CZ microcontroller. The soldering of the LGA module is not very hobby-friendly. I constructed small breakout PCB for this module with additional buck/boost switcher and place for SMA connector. The transceiver features the LoRa®long-range modem, providing ultra-long-range spread spectrum communication and high interference […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/using-soil-moisture-sensor-arduino/
Hi guys, welcome to today’s tutorial. Smart farms are becoming very popular as everyone is beginning to see the benefits in terms of crop health and yield and I know a lot of people that will be interested in smart farm automation. That’s why today, we will be looking at how to use a soil moisture […]
Use a Comparator or Op-Amp to Simplify Light Dependent Resistor Output
https://www.electronics-lab.com/use-comparator-op-amp-simplify-light-dependent-resistor-output/
If your project calls for light sensitivity, it’s hard to beat light dependent resistors (LDRs), also known as photoresistors. They’re available for a few cents each, and their resistance varies based on how much light they receive. In the dark, these devices produce resistances in the megohm range, and can fall to hundreds of ohms […]
Taking Advantage of Embedded FPGA (eFPGA)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/taking-advantage-embedded-fpga-efpga/
By Geoff Tate, CEO of Flex Logix, Inc. Whether you are designing an SoC, MCU or other chip, the one common heartache is “freezing RTL.” Up until that point, it’s no problem making a change or update, but once it’s frozen, the chip design is “locked in.” A change after that point could require a […]
