Or rather SMBus, but apart from the minimum speed clock requirements on the SMBus, the two protocols are alike. Designing a simple and cheap temperature logger – [Link]
Conductivity Shield for Arduino Uno
https://www.electronics-lab.com/conductivity-shield-arduino-uno/
by PyroCat @ elektormagazine.com: Conductivity is the ability of a material to transfer electrons. It is the opposite of the concept of resistivity which is well known to electricians. However, while we are used to address the topic of conductivity in the field of electronics, things get a little bit more complicated when we try […]

Blue IR: Build your own universal remote
https://www.electronics-lab.com/blue-ir-build-universal-remote/
Sarunas built this device to replace a bunch of different remote controls with a smart phone. Controlling TV, HiFi, DLP and similar IR controllable stuff is easy and fun from a smart phone using previously built smart remote, until it runs out of battery. Despite that Bluetooth Low Energy device (smart remote is built on it) […]
Panelizing made easy in Eagle
https://www.electronics-lab.com/panelizing-made-easy-eagle/
Sjaak shared a tip for panelizing PCB boards in Eagle: Panelizing is done by machining a slot between two or more boards, but keep them attached by a small amount of PCB material (mousebites). I used to do it by hand: generated all the schematics into multiple sheets and then route the board and finally […]
