https://www.electronics-lab.com/nimo-clock-recreating-the-look-of-a-60s-crt-display/
Recreating the look of a 60’s CRT display with small LCDs. By Paul Bricmont @ hackster.io: My design uses six 1.44-inch TFT LCD displays to display NIMO-style digits. These small LCD displays are cheap (around $3.50 US each) and use the ST7735 chipset and SPI bus. To drive the displays I’m using the Adafruit Metro […]

Zak Kemble @ zakkemble.co.uk shared another great tiny project. This time it’s a tiny electronic dice based on ATtiny25V microcontroller. Sources available on GitHub. He writes: Here’s a simple, tiny electronic dice project using 7 LEDs, an ATtiny25V, a CR1616 coin cell and a few passives. Measuring just 18mm x 18mm and 4.9mm thick while weighing […]
4-channel voltage supervisors accurate to ±0.5%
https://www.electronics-lab.com/4-channel-voltage-supervisors-accurate-to-%c2%b10-5/
Analog Devices’ LTC2962-LTC2964 family of 4-channel voltage supervisors has been designed with exceptional accuracy for increased system voltage margin and enhanced reliability. [via] ASIC, FPGA, DSP, MCU and MPU architectures that operate from supplies as low as 1V cannot utilize traditional 1%-2% accurate voltage supervisors without shedding valuable system voltage margin and shrinking the remaining […]
