Innovative flux and a high qualty alloy provide to Stannol Kristall 511 solder wire excellent processing properties with a minimum of clean transprarent residues. You, who are at production of electronic devices, know, how important is a choice of a suitable solder. A designer of a given device might not focus on a solder used […]
DIY Digital Compass
https://www.electronics-lab.com/diy-digital-compass/
by DaAwesomeP @ instructables.com: I’m astounded that some cars don’t have a digital compass always visible. You either have to launch the navigation app each time which may even disappear when you adjust the radio. In this project, you’ll create a digital compass that can be powered by by the cigarette lighter or another source (batteries […]
Buck-boost regulator achieves high efficiency
https://www.electronics-lab.com/buck-boost-regulator-achieves-high-efficiency/
by Susan Nordyk @ edn.com: Using adaptive current-limit PFM (pulse frequency modulation) control, the ISL9120 switching regulator from Intersil realizes efficiencies of up to 98%, while automatically transitioning between buck and boost modes without significant output disturbance. The part accommodates a wide input voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V and has an adjustable […]

Arduino Radar Tutorial: Fading an LED With My Breath
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-radar-tutorial-fading-an-led-with-my-breath/
by build-electronic-circuits.com: I built this Arduino radar project, where I control the brightness of an LED with my breath. In this tutorial, I will show you exactly how to do it. It was an experiment to get the XeThru radar to work with Arduino. I plan to expand on this later, and build more useful applications. […]
Geiger counter with SBM20 tube
