Firefly – an annoying little thing


https://www.electronics-lab.com/firefly-annoying-little-thing/

Here’s a tiny pcb that produces an annoying sound using a piezo buzzer and a ATtiny13 microcontroller. It uses an LED, piezo buzzer, ATTINY13 Atmel microcontroller, a very small amount of Arduino code, and a coin cell battery that should last about a week. Battery life could be improved, with longer sleep times. The device […]

EAGLE 8.7 – Parametric 2D & 3D model generation, library.io, more!


https://www.electronics-lab.com/eagle-8-7-parametric-2d-3d-model-generation-library-io/

Today we’re proud to announce the release of EAGLE 8.7 and what is quite possibly one of the biggest releases we’ve had to-date, this time focused (largely) on libraries and library development (and what that means for 3D modeling of your finished PCB)!  But before we get into it, let me share a thought — […]

Displaying Customized Graphics on OLED display using Arduino


https://www.electronics-lab.com/displaying-customized-graphics-oled-display-arduino/

One thing we all always wish we could do when using any display is to load our own custom graphics, be it a logo, gif etc. In today’s tutorial we will show how to do just that on an OLED display using an Arduino. OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display is a display based on light-emitting diode (LED) […]

Helix Semiconductors starts production of DC-DC power chip


https://www.electronics-lab.com/helix-semiconductors-starts-production-dc-dc-power-chip/

Fabless power semiconductor startup Helix Semiconductors has started mass production of its MxC200, a configurable high-efficiency 15W DC-DC power chip. Previously known as the HS200, the MxC200 takes voltage input ranging from 12V to 48V and converts it to selectable lower voltages. For example, when configured as a 48V input to 12V output, the device offers greater […]
