BooSTick – small AA voltage booster
https://www.electronics-lab.com/boostick-small-aa-voltage-booster/
A single AA battery provides voltages of 5V or 3.3V for hardware prototyping. This tiny board allows you to bring the power to your project, and not the other way around. Bring your micro to the sensor without running wires! A single AA battery is used to provide breadboard power of 5V or 3.3V (or […]
5V to 12V Step Up DC-DC Converter
https://www.electronics-lab.com/5v-to-12v-step-up-dc-dc-converter/
Step up DC-DC converter is based on LM2577-ADJ IC, this project provides 12V output using 5V input, maximum output load 800mA. The LM2577 are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all of the power and control functions for step-up (boost), fly back, and forward converter switching regulators. The device is available in three different output voltage […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/mmc3630kj-magnetic-sensor-in-bga-package/
MEMSIC has announced the MMC3630KJ magnetometer that integrates a monolithic 3-axis AMR (anisotropic magnetoresistive) sensor and a signal conditioning ASIC into a 1.2 × 1.2 × 0.5-mm BGA package. According to MEMSIC, devices in the series offer the ability to deliver a magnetic sensitivity in a range of ±30 Gauss and achieve a noise level that is […]
Arduino controlled Triac light dimmer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-controlled-light-dimmer/
diy_bloke @ instructables.com has build an arduino controlled triac light dimmer and describes the circuit and software used to achieve that. It becomes a bit more tricky if one wants to dim a mains AC lamp with an arduino: just limiting the current through e.g. a transistor is not really possible due to the large […]
Arduino Inline Assembly Tutorial
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-inline-assembly-tutorial/
ucexperiment.wordpress.com has published a series of tutorials on how to use assembly language on Arduino. This can be pretty helpful if you want to do some advantaged coding on Arduino. An inline assembly statement is a string which specifies assembler code. The string can contain any instructions recognized by the assembler, including directives (we will […]

Thomas Gonnot has published a RGB LED Strip Controller based on STM32F0 microcontroller. The controller is able to power NeoPixel and DotStar protocol RGB LEDs. A simple controller for a RGB LED strip, with independent control of color and intensity. The design is based on a simple STM32F0 microcontroller. It can handle NeoPixel and DotStar […]
Automatic monitor brightness controller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/automatic-monitor-brightness-controller/
Dilshan Jayakody build a auto monitor brightness controller that adjusts your monitor brightness according to lighting conditions. He writes: The sensor unit of this system is build around PIC18F2550 8-bit microcontroller. To measure the light level we use LDR with MCU’s inbuilt ADC. The control software of this unit is design to work with Microsoft […]
