100MHZ Frequency Counter with PIC16F628A
https://www.electronics-lab.com/100mhz-frequency-counter-with-pic16f628a/
This project shows how to build a very simple yet very useful tool that every DIY enthusiast should have in his lab: a 100MHz+ frequency counter. The schematic is fairly simple and straightforward and uses a PIC16F628A microcontroller for measuring frequency and a high speed comparator for signal amplification and conditioning. The microcontroller uses its internal 4MHz […]

One step closer to the ‘ultimate battery’
https://www.electronics-lab.com/one-step-closer-to-the-ultimate-battery/
Erica Torres @ edn.com discuss about lithium-air batteries that looks promising for future use. Although scientists are still working toward replacing lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries with lithium-air (Li-air), or lithium-oxygen, batteries, researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a lab-based demonstrator of such a battery. It is safe to say we still have another decade before […]
Making PCB Vias using conductive ink
https://www.electronics-lab.com/making-pcb-vias-using-conductive-ink/
Here’s an alternative method for making PCB vias using conductive ink from Diyouware: We developed an alternative method for making PCB vias through-hole using our robot. As you probably know the traditional DIY method consists in threading a wire through the holes and then soldering it and then cutting it off. For example, if we […]
