Spectrum Next, A New of ZX Spectrum
https://www.electronics-lab.com/spectrum-next-new-zx-spectrum/
In 1982, the UK’s best selling computer, ZX Spectrum, was released by Sinclair as 8-bit personal home computer highlighting the machine’s color display. And today, a group of makers are introducing the Spectrum Next, an updated and enhanced version of ZX Spectrum. The Spectrum Next is fully compatible with the original one. It has been enhanced to provide a […]
PICTIL – Remake of the TIL311 hex LED display
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pictil-remake-til311-hex-led-display/
Yann Guidon @ hackaday.io rebuild the TIL311 hexadecimal display using a pic microcontroller. He writes: The TIL311 is a nice but expensive, obsolete, power-hungry hexadecimal display. It would be cool to make a tiny module with similar functionality which solves its shortcomings. A 20-pins PIC is a solution but other decoding chips could work too. […]

RX/TX sequencer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/rxtx-sequencer/
Lukas Fässler has designed and built an RX/TX sequencer based on a PIC16F18325, that is available on github: Much like the beacon keyer presented here earlier, this RX/TX sequencer is a simple but useful little device. Its typical use is in ham radio applications when a separate power amplifier (PA) and/or a sensitive low-noise pre-amplifier (LNA) is used. […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/systemview-pro-analyze-firmware-behavior-like-pro/
Segger Microcontroller is known for J-Links device about debugging and programming lots of architectures: ARM, Microchip PIC32 and Renesas RX. Segger provides a lot of other software and hardware tools for debugging and programming purposes; SystemView is one of these tools. SystemView gives a complete insight of what is going inside the MCU graphically and […]
SHA2017 Badge — A Hackable Conference Badge with E-paper Display
https://www.electronics-lab.com/sha2017-badge-hackable-conference-badge-e-paper-display/
The hackable electronic conference badges are more and more being adapted in technical conferences and especially those for hackers and makers. These badges can be reprogrammed easily and could be used later as a development board. It’s not the first time to hear about a hackable badge; for example, Parallax has an open source one […]
MCUXpresso IDE: Blinky the NXP LPC800-DIP Board
https://www.electronics-lab.com/mcuxpresso-ide-blinky-nxp-lpc800-dip-board/
Erich Styger @ mcuoneclipse.com has a series of tutorials using the new NXP MCUXpresso IDE. He writes: During Embedded World 2017 in Nürnberg I was lucky to get a handful LPC800-DIP boards. To get all students who were lucky to get one, here is a tutorial to make that very exciting ‘blinky’ application on that […]

A DC Motor Controller with Control Leds
https://www.electronics-lab.com/dc-motor-controller-control-leds/
Boris Landoni writes about a new open source project a DC motor controller with control LEDs: The circuit board we are presenting this time is based on the dual-bridge driver L298N, in a traditionally mounted version in a Multiwatt container with 15 staggered pins; it has two terminal blocks for attaching to DC motors or the […]
