Arduino (Atmega328p) on a Breadboard
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-atmega328p-breadboard/
Hi guys, for today’s tutorial, we will be building an Arduino on a breadboard. The Arduino on breadboard is basically a bare bones arduino, featuring only the micro-controller as the major component, without all the other parts that makes up the Arduino, like the usb port, the on-board serial to usb converter, voltage regulators, etc, […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/ezpixel-upcoming-fpga-based-ws2812b-controller-board/
FPGAs are field programmable gate arrays which basically means they are reconfigurable hardware chips. FPGAs have found applications in different industries and engineering fields from the defence, telecommunications to automotive and several others but little application in the maker’s world. Mostly, as a result of being largely difficult and high cost as compared to the likes […]
Easy LED Strip Lightning Made possible by ChromaTab
https://www.electronics-lab.com/easy-led-strip-lightning-made-possible-chromatab/
LED strips provide users with multi-color and flexible illumination which can be fit into tight spacing. Also, they are customizable, durable, and easy to install which is why LED strips have gained popularity in design and personal projects. However, installing them can result in a lot of wire, power transistors (to control the LEDs), a […]
Researchers Develop New Technique To Print Flexible Self-healing Circuits For Wearable Devices

The researchers of North Carolina State University in the US, lead by Jingyan Dong, have developed a new technique for directly printing flexible, stretchable metal circuits. The innovative technique can be used with multiple metals and alloys. It is also compatible with existing manufacturing systems which can integrate this new printing technology effortlessly. The technique uses the well known electrohydrodynamic printing […]
MicroZed is a Powerful and Low-Cost ARM + FPGA Linux Development Board
https://www.electronics-lab.com/microzed-powerful-low-cost-arm-fpga-linux-development-board/
MicroZed is a low-cost development board from Avnet, the makers of the $475 ZedBoard and the entry level MiniZed development boards. Its unique design allows it to be used as both a stand-alone evaluation board for basic SoC experimentation or combined with a carrier card as an embeddable system-on-module (SOM). The MicroZed processing system is […]
Drones- A Blessing or a Curse?
https://www.electronics-lab.com/drones-blessing-curse/
The increasing popularity of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) has created a lot of security issues and possible privacy threats. Drone manufacturers have made them easy to fly so that any person without any experience can buy one and fly it without reading the instruction manual first. This has made them attractive for consumers, but also […]
Osram Develops LED Beam Array Smart Headlamps That Can Analyze Road And Traffic
https://www.electronics-lab.com/70849-2/
After over three years of research and field demos, a prototype of Osram’s EVIYOS smart, controllable, high resolution LED automotive headlamp was introduced at the International Symposium on Automotive Lighting earlier this year in Darmstadt, Germany. This smart LED headlamp is able to control its 1,024 LED “pixels” individually. The basic component of the EVIYOS combines an LED […]
1.2V-25V/10A Adjustable Power Supply Using Power Op-Amp
https://www.electronics-lab.com/1-2v-25v-10a-adjustable-power-supply-using-power-op-amp/
This is a small size power supply based on OPA549 power op-amp that provides output voltage 1.2V to 25V with 0 to 10A adjustable current limit. Two onboard trimmer potentiometers provided to adjust the voltage and current, LED D1 is over temperature indicator. The circuit works with input supply of 30V DC and logic supply […]
Could Sodium-ion Batteries be a Replacement for Li-ion Batteries?
https://www.electronics-lab.com/sodium-ion-batteries-replacement-li-ion-batteries/
In early 1990s lithium-ion batteries started gaining popularity as a substitute for nickel-cadmium batteries. They have higher energy density, low self- discharge, and low maintenance, but it was soon found that they have short life span, unstability which causes security concerns and creates the need for protection circuits (to maintain it within safe limits), and […]
Using an MMA7455 accelerometer with an ESP32 board
https://www.electronics-lab.com/using-mma7455-accelerometer-esp32-board/
by shedboy71 @ microproducts.net discuss how to use MMA7455 accelerometer with ESP32 board. He writes: The MMA7455L is a Digital Output (I2C/SPI), low power, low profile capacitive micromachined accelerometer featuring signal conditioning, a low pass filter, temperature compensation, self-test, configurable to detect 0g through interrupt pins (INT1 or INT2), and pulse detect for quick motion […]
