Arduino Communication with an Android App via Bluetooth
https://www.electronics-lab.com/project/arduino-communication-android-app-via-bluetooth/
Introduction With the arrival of the IoT and the need for control, devices now need to do more than perform the basic functions for which they are built, they need to be capable of communicating with other devices like a mobile phone among others. There are different communication systems which can be adapted for communication […]
Top 10 Single Board Computers (SBCs) of 2017
https://www.electronics-lab.com/top-ten-single-board-computers-sbcs-previous-year/
Introduction Back in 2012, the arrival of Raspberry Pi started a new era of Single Board Computers – widely known as SBC. It attracted a huge number of hobbyists and tinkerers who are keen to create technology rather than just consuming it. Single board computers made designing complex and computationally expensive projects possible. Robotics, IoT, […]
