Dual set point programmable thermostat
https://www.electronics-lab.com/dual-setpoint-thermostat/
Programmable thermostats are cool things. They let you set the room temperature according to your schedule and will automatically make those adjustments for you. If you use them the way they’re intended to, they could be a great way to save on home energy costs. They work perfectly for people with fixed daily schedules. You can set […]
The Tiniest 1nm Gate Transistor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/tiniest-1-nm-gate-transistor/
A research team led by faculty scientist Ali Javey at Berkeley Lab have debuted the smallest transistor ever reported. A gate structure of just 1 nm long can bring Moore’s law back again after the demonstration of the recent Silicon (Si) transistor with 5 nm gate. It was predicted that transistors will fail below 5 […]

Thermal design: Get the heat out of the electronics
https://www.electronics-lab.com/thermal-design-get-heat-electronics/
Paul Rako@ edn.com discuss about thermal design in electronics and how to design your board to dissipate it effectively. If you have high-powered LEDS, or a power supply, or are trying to control larger motors, you have to get a lot of heat out of your circuit boards. The classic way to dissipate heat is […]
PiOSCBOX: A Raspberry Pi based audio processor and synthesizer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pioscbox-raspberry-pi-based-audio-processor-synthesizer/
Raspberry Pi carries a lot of horsepower inside to handle the realtime audio and add some effects to it. The only limitation is it does not have a built-in sound card, but it is manageable using an external USB soundcard. PiOSCBOX is an attempt to make a low-cost, stand-alone audio effects processor and synthesizer using Raspberry Pi 3. It […]

FPGA-Based Arduino Shield
https://www.electronics-lab.com/fpga-based-arduino-shield/
Inspired by an interest in spreading the concepts of FPGA, and because its ability to overcome most of other platforms limitations such as IO, memory, and peripherals, technolomaniac had worked on developing the first Arduino FPGA shield. A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured by a customer or a […]
The SilentSwitcher, A Quiet Mains-free Power Supply
https://www.electronics-lab.com/silentswitcher-quiet-mains-free-power-supply/
Audio projects become smaller over time with the rapid advancement of technology. A traditional power supply is still considered large compared to audio projects size constraints and it may not fit such delicate applications that need to deliver a good sound with zero noise. Jan Didden, audio specialist who is known for his own publications […]
