MetCal Connection Validation – The Next Generation of Soldering


https://www.electronics-lab.com/metcal-connection-validation-next-generation-soldering/

Making solid connections between electrical components on a board is an important part of many hardware projects. A good solder joint forms an alloy at the surface of the PCB and the component lead. During soldering, a solder connection on a circuit board can quickly turn into a real nightmare if not caught immediately, ending […]

Arduino Real Time Clock with DS1302 and Nokia 5110 LCD Display


https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-real-time-clock-ds1302-nokia-5110-lcd-display/

Hi guys, in one of our previous tutorials, we made a real time clock, using the DS3231 RTC Module and the 1602 LCD display module. For this tutorial, we will be building something similar using the DS1302 RTC module and the Nokia 5110 display module. Unlike the 1602 LCD module which was used in the […]

Sensirion presents CO2 and RH/T Sensor Module


https://www.electronics-lab.com/sensirion-presents-co2-rh-t-sensor-module/

At this year’s AHR Expo 2018 trade show in Chicago (January 22 – 24, 2018), Sensirion, the expert in environmental and flow sensor solutions, is introducing the SCD30 – a humidity, temperature and carbon dioxide concentration sensor. CMOSens® Technology for IR detection enables highly accurate carbon dioxide measurement at a competitive price. Along with the […]

Printed circuit board manufacturer – JLCPCB Review


https://www.electronics-lab.com/printed-circuit-board-manufacturer-jlcpcb-review/

Recently, I had the opportunity to test the printed circuit boards (PCB) offered by JLCPCB. These tests were made in two different boards of the brand and here I’ll report my impressions about them. Due to the spread of the maker culture and the do-it-yourself (DIY) and easy access to components and a huge amount […]

A Temperature Logger to Protect Sea turtles


https://www.electronics-lab.com/temperature-logger-protect-sea-turtles/

Data loggers are small, battery-powered devices used to sense and store information in different situations. They include a microprocessor, data storage, one or several sensors and they can record information for a very long period. However, some data loggers do not include sensors, but have ports that allow a sensor to be connected. They are […]

Angle Sensing with Circular Vertical Hall Technology


https://www.electronics-lab.com/angle-sensing-circular-vertical-hall-technology/

Angle sensing has always been challenging particularly in industrial and automotive environment because of the need for precise and accurate sensing at high speeds. Allegro Microsystems developed the A1330 an integrated circuit angle sensor that works based on magnetic Circular Vertical Hall (CVH) technology. Unlike other angle sensors Allegro’s A1330 does not require a concentrator […]

Sino: bit – Changing Programming for Kids All Over the World


https://www.electronics-lab.com/sino-bit-changing-programming-kids-world/

Creating projects with Arduino can be challenging for kids, this may cause children to lose interest in electronics and DIY projects. The most complicated part is usually the connections required to use a sensor, led matrix or other devices that can be connected to the Arduino (or other microcontrollers). Since all these devices are different […]

@Ricoh RP604 300 mA Buck-Boost #DCDC Converter for #IoT applications


https://www.electronics-lab.com/ricoh-rp604-300-ma-buck-boost-dcdc-converter-iot-applications/

This product is in particular suitable in case a supply voltage is required which is somewhere in between the voltage level of a fully charged and fully discharged battery. At a certain moment the DC/DC Converter needs to switch over from Buck to Boost mode automatically. The RP604 is designed for IoT applications which are […]

The Little Buddy Talker – Arduino Compatible Speech Chip Set


https://www.electronics-lab.com/little-buddy-talker-arduino-compatible-speech-chip-set/

Small, versatile, fun, and inexpensive! Use the 254 word library to bring speech to your Arduino projects! Speak, Arduino, Speak! About a year ago, I designed an Arduino shield that allowed for you to add voice to your electronic designs.  I’ve since been able to minimise that design into a much less inexpensive, and smaller […]
