Programming the ATtiny10 using Arduino IDE
https://www.electronics-lab.com/programming-attiny10-using-arduino-ide/
David Johnson-Davies @ technoblogy.com has a nice guide on how to program ATtiny10 6-pin mcu using the arduino IDE. Programming is done using the widely available USBasp programmer from Thomas Fischl. Examples are also included on the guide. Unlike the SPI protocol used to program the larger AVR chips, such as the ATmega328 in the […]
The top 10 humidity sensors
https://www.electronics-lab.com/top-10-humidity-sensors/
Elizabeth Bustamante @ snapeda.com compiled a list the top 10 humidity sensors available today. Most of the sensors on the lists are from Honeywell, but surprisingly the top sensor comes from Sensirion. She writes: Air humidity is an important factor to consider when designing an electronic device. Having too much humidity in the environment can […]
Ultra-low-power MSP430 microcontrollers
https://www.electronics-lab.com/69768-2/
Developers can implement simple sensing functions with TI’s lowest-cost microcontroller family Texas Instruments (TI) on November 10, unveiled its lowest-cost ultra-low-power MSP430 microcontrollers (MCUs) for sensing applications. Developers can now implement simple sensing solutions through a variety of integrated mixed-signal features in this family of MSP430 value line sensing MCUs, available for as low as […]
ESP32 Web Server Tutorial with a BME280 Sensor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/esp32-web-server-tutorial-bme280-sensor/
Our friends at educ8s.tv uploaded a new tutorial on their youtube channel. It’s about an ESP32 web server along with MBE280 sensor. Welcome to another ESP32 video tutorial! In this video, we are going to build a simple HTTP Web Server on an ESP32 board with a BME280 sensor. We are also going to learn […]
BPi M2 Zero, A Clone of Raspberry Pi Zero
https://www.electronics-lab.com/bpi-m2-zero-clone-raspberry-pi-zero/
A few days ago, we talked about the Banana Pi M2 Magic as the smallest Banana Pi board. Now we have the Banana Pi M2 Zero, another board by Sinovoip that follows the Raspberry Pi Zero form factor. The BPi M2 Zero features Allwinner H2+ quad-core processor with 512MB SDRAM memory. The board size is […]
Details of Waveshare e-paper displays
https://www.electronics-lab.com/details-waveshare-e-paper-displays/
Erich Styger has a nice write-up on Waveshare e-paper displays: I have used E-Ink displays in projects three years ago, but from that time the technology has greatly evolved. That time displays were hard to get, expensive and difficult to use. Now things seem to change with e-ink displays available to the maker market :-). I’m […]
Design of a Korg Nutube Amplifier
https://www.electronics-lab.com/design-korg-nutube-amplifier/
Karlwoodward @ www.rs-online.com/designspark is in the process of designing a “guitar pedal” for amplification and distortion using the Korg Nutube we featured earlier. The Part 1 of a series of articles goes through the basic aspects of tubes and valves, the pros and cons on using a Nutube valve as well as discussing about low gain […]
R&S®NGE100 power supply series with WiFi option
https://www.electronics-lab.com/rsnge100-power-supply-series-with-wifi-option/
The R&S®NGE100 power supply series consists of robust, high-performance, affordable instruments. They offer high efficiency combined with low ripple plus a variety of comfort functions that are not usually found in this class of power supplies. The R&S®NGE100 power supply series consists of the R&S®NGE102 two-channel power supply and the R&S®NGE103 three-channel power supply. Both […]
How to drive Nokia 5110 84×48 LCD display with Arduino
https://www.electronics-lab.com/drive-nokia-5110-84x48-lcd-display-arduino/
In the previous tutorial I showed how to build a weather station using DHT11 and BMP180 with an Arduino. However, the project has a downside which is the power consumption of the 16X2 LCD. If we were building a battery powered project with the desire to last for several weeks and probably several months, like […]
