Romeo BLE – An Arduino Based Powerful Robot Control Board With Bluetooth 4.0
https://www.electronics-lab.com/romeo-ble-arduino-based-powerful-robot-control-board-bluetooth-4-0/
Romeo BLE is an all-in-one Arduino based control board specially designed for robotics applications from DFRobot. This platform is open source and it’s powered by thousands of publicly available open-sourced codes. Romeo BLE can easily be expanded using Arduino shields. The most important feature—Bluetooth 4.0 wireless communication, allows the board to receive commands via Bluetooth. […]
Harvesting Sound Energy From Passing Cars
https://www.electronics-lab.com/harvesting-sound-energy-passing-cars/
by Mechanical Attraction @ instructables.com: There is energy everywhere around us and in many different forms. Many devices have been developed to harvest light, wind, waves, and more. One unusual place of energy harvesting is from passing cars. As cars pass by some of their energy is released in form of sound. Even though the […]
Should you build or buy your next single-board computer?
https://www.electronics-lab.com/build-buy-next-single-board-computer/
by Markku Riihonen @ EDN Europe: Does it make sense to design and build your own single-board computers? It used to be the sensible option for anyone concerned about matching features to production cost. Traditionally, with your own board design, you have the freedom to add only the components that are absolutely vital to achieving […]

wouterdevinck @ instructables.com writes: There are a lot of nixie clocks out there and a lot of them are based on the IN-14 tubes. I wanted to design my own for the sake of designing my own, but also had some specific requirements: Make it as small and thin as possible. A lot of the […]
LTC7003 – Fast 60V Protected High Side NMOS Static Switch Driver
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ltc7003-fast-60v-protected-high-side-nmos-static-switch-driver/
The LTC7003 is a fast high side N-channel MOSFET gate driver that operates from input voltages up to 60V. It contains an internal charge pump that fully enhances an external N-channel MOSFET switch, allowing it to remain on indefinitely. Its powerful driver can easily drive large gate capacitances with very short transition times, making it well suited […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/integrated-36v-buck-battery-charger-provides-seamless-backup-power/
By Graham Prophet @ eedesignnewseurope.com: LTC4091 is a complete lithium-ion battery backup management system for 3.45V to 4.45V supply rails that must be kept active during a long duration main power failure. The LTC4091 employs a 36V monolithic buck converter with adaptive output control to provide power to a system load and enable high efficiency […]
Carrageenan, a seaweed derivative, can stabilize lithium-sulfur batteries surprisingly
https://www.electronics-lab.com/carrageenan-seaweed-derivative-can-stabilize-lithium-sulfur-batteries-surprisingly/
Lithium-sulfur batteries are suitable for both vehicle and grid applications as they are ultra-cheap, high-energy devices. Sulfur is a very low-cost material and the energy capacity is much higher than that of lithium-ion. So, lithium-sulfur is one chemistry that can possibly meet the demand for energy storage at a cheap price. However, the serious problem is, lithium-sulfur […]
