Open-Hardware Reaches The Outer Space with UPSat Satellite
https://www.electronics-lab.com/open-hardware-reaches-outer-space-upsat-satellite/
Libre Space Foundation completed the mission of building a completely Open-Source 2U CubeSat Satellite from scratch. It’s called “UPSat”. On April 18th at Cape Canaveral in Florida, Atlas V Rocket launched Private Cygnus Cargo Ship, and UPSat was among its cargo. With both software and hardware parts published on github. UPSat seems to be a […]
MEMS — A 22-billion-dollar-worth industry by 2018
https://www.electronics-lab.com/mems-22-billion-dollar-industry-2018/
Thanks to Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems MEMS technology, which will be a 22-billion-dollar-worth industry by 2018, our mobile phones are equipped with accelerometers and gyroscopes so they know the direction and rotate our mobile screen as needed. The applications of MEMS had expanded a lot in various fields like: energy harvesting using piezoelectric effect, microphones, gyroscopes, pressure sensors, […]

Most of smartphones parts are made of silicons and other compounds, which are expensive and easily-breakable. This problem is making all of smart devices manufacturers looking for stronger and cheaper solutions. By combining a set of materials, a group of researchers have successfully discovered a new material which could finally finish the disaster of cracked smartphone […]
Digitool – DIY 4 channel logic analyzer with LCD
https://www.electronics-lab.com/digitool-diy-4-channel-logic-analyzer-lcd/
Juan Antonio Rubia Mena tipped us with his DIY logic analyzer based on PIC18F2525 @ 32 Mhz. He writes: One of the most useful tools for micro-controller design is the logic analyzer. You can find one for every budget or performance, but lately those based in USB connection to PC have gained popularity (not not […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/cinque-combining-risc-v-arduino/
After announcing “HiFive1” at the end of 2016, SiFive is introducing its second RISC-V based development board “The Arduino Cinque“. It is the first Arduino board that is featuring RISC-V instruction set architecture. Arduino Cinque is running SiFive’s Freedom E310, one of the fastest and powerful microcontrollers in the hardware market. It also includes built-in Wi-Fi […]
rDUINOScope – Arduino Telescope Control
https://www.electronics-lab.com/rduinoscope-arduino-telescope-control/
Dessislav Gouzgounov @ hackaday.io build an Arduino Due based, open source, goto telescope controller. The initial idea was to create cheap and easy to build alternative of commercially available GOTO hand controllers, but in a better, feature rich way. In the heart of the system is the rDUINOScope Software, some 2500 rows, controlling all HW […]
Using the OpenScope MZ in LabVIEW
