The USB-C PD-Sink is a board by Pier 42 that enables any device to be powered from a USB supply. It allows the option to set the voltage at 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V or 20V and allowing current as high as 5A. The current settings are very flexible in steps of 250mA from 0 to […]
Arduino Ethernet Shield powered by the PIC32MX controller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-ethernet-shield-powered-pic32mx-controller/
Angelu (Elsofgel), a Canadian-based electrical engineer has developed an Arduino shield to implement an SPI to Ethernet Interface (SEI) on the PIC32 microcontroller. While it seems very similar to the Wiznet’s chips, the major difference being that it is a software implementation and the physical layer (PHY) is an external device. It interfaces the host […]

Free Elektor Article: Using E-paper with the Arduino
https://www.electronics-lab.com/free-elektor-article-using-e-paper-arduino/
Electronic paper — a.k.a. e-paper — is an unusual type of display. Once a picture (or text) is displayed, no further energy is required to maintain the display. Energy is only required to change the display. This is very useful in applications where the amount of available energy is limited. In this article we describe […]
