Building a DSLR Camera Wireless Controller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/building-dslr-camera-wireless-controller/
Lenin @ movingelectrons.net build a DSLR camera wireless controller and documented the process. He writes: I’ve been experimenting with time-lapse shots for a while now. Unfortunately, time-lapse shooting options on most DSLR and mirrorless cameras are somewhat limited. At the time of this writing, Sony doesn’t even include the feature on their high end cameras […]
HiFive Unleashed – The First RISC-V-based Linux development board
https://www.electronics-lab.com/hifive-unleashed-first-risc-v-based-linux-development-board/
RISC-V is an open specification of an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). That is, it describes the way in which software talks to an underlying processor – just like the x86 ISA for Intel/AMD processors and the ARM ISA for ARM processors. Unlike those, however, the RISC-V ISA is open so that anyone can build a […]
Arduino UV Meter using the UV30A Ultraviolet Sensor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-uv-meter-using-uv30a-ultraviolet-sensor/
Ultraviolet rays, also known as UV for short are rays emitted by sun. Due to the depletion of the ozone layer, these rays tend to get to extreme levels that could lead to sunburns etc for those under it, that’s why daily and hourly forecast of the UV index is always available to help people […]
150VIN & VOUT Synchronous 4-Switch Buck-Boost Controller with Integrated Switching Bias Supply
https://www.electronics-lab.com/150vin-vout-synchronous-4-switch-buck-boost-controller-integrated-switching-bias-supply/
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear™ LTC3777, a 150V high efficiency (up to 99%) 4-switch synchronous buck-boost DC/DC controller, which operates from input voltages above, below or equal to the regulated output voltage. Its 4.5V to 150V input voltage range operates from a high input voltage source or from an input that has high […]
SocioNext MN87900 is a Single-Chip 24 GHz Radio Wave Sensor for the Internet of Things
https://www.electronics-lab.com/socionext-mn87900-single-chip-24-ghz-radio-wave-sensor-internet-things/
The Socionext MN87900 from Socionext is a powerful and low-power single-chip microwave sensor at 24GHz with sophisticated sensing capabilities like motion detection, speed and direction detection and so many, that can quickly find applications in the Internet of Things sensing applications. Unlike PIR sensors like the popular HR-SR501 that can detect motion to about 3 […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/cap-xx-thinline-supercapacitors-power-vibration-alerts/
CAP-XX (LSE:CPX), developer of supercapacitors that deliver peak power to support or replace batteries, today announced that Spire has incorporated CAP-XX Thinline supercapacitors into the new Spire Health Tag to provide the peak power needed for delivering real-time wellness vibration alerts to consumers. Offloading this peak power role to the thin, flat supercapacitor allows Spire […]
Designing a Small Footprint, Low Profile 5v to 170v Nixie Tube Power Supply
https://www.electronics-lab.com/designing-small-footprint-low-profile-5v-170v-nixie-tube-power-supply/
Mark Smith @ surfncircuits.com has a detailed explanation on building a Nixie power supply, able to produce 170V from a 5V source. The article is spitted in 3 parts, with part two presenting the results and performance and part 3 discussing PCB design. Nixie Tubes are cool retro looking decimal digit displays useful for many […]
Researchers Developed a Very Powerful Mini Synchrotron That Can Fit On A Tabletop
https://www.electronics-lab.com/researchers-develop-powerful-mini-synchrotron-can-fit-tabletop/
A synchrotron is a particular type of cyclic particle accelerator which is used to accelerate quantum level charged particles at a very high velocity, traveling around a fixed closed-loop path. It is one of the first accelerator concepts to enable the construction of large-scale facilities because they are very efficient in beam focusing, bending, and […]
Op amps, comparators – smaller than ever
https://www.electronics-lab.com/op-amps-comparators-smaller-ever/
Aimee Kalnoskas @ eeworldonline.com discuss about TI’s tiny OPAMP and comparators. Texas Instruments introduced the industry’s smallest operational amplifier and low-power comparators at 0.64 mm2. As the first amplifiers in the compact X2SON package, the TLV9061 op amp and TLV7011 family of comparators enable engineers to reduce their system size and cost, while maintaining high […]
