Arduino controlled Dual Mono AK4490 DAC (part 3)


https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-controlled-dual-mono-ak4490-dac-part-3/

Here’s the part 3 of Dimitris’ Arduino controlled Dual Mono AK4490 DAC project. If you missed part 1 and part 2, check them out. Following up on Part 2, it’s time to talk about the output stage. This output stage is the brainchild of my friend Kostas, all I did was lay out the PCB. It […]

Firefly – an annoying little thing


https://www.electronics-lab.com/firefly-annoying-little-thing/

Here’s a tiny pcb that produces an annoying sound using a piezo buzzer and a ATtiny13 microcontroller. It uses an LED, piezo buzzer, ATTINY13 Atmel microcontroller, a very small amount of Arduino code, and a coin cell battery that should last about a week. Battery life could be improved, with longer sleep times. The device […]
