Software Defined Radio (SDR) shield for Arduino


https://www.electronics-lab.com/software-defined-radio-sdr-shield-for-arduino/

by Clemens Valens @ elektormagazine.com The new SDR board was created by Burkhard Kainka, the designer who also did the first SDR project. The antenna preselector of the original board has been removed while the CY27EE16 programmable oscillator was replaced by the Si5351 from Silicon Labs. The Arduino board takes over the functions of the FT232R […]

ATmega8 Thermocouple Thermostat


https://www.electronics-lab.com/47832-2/

morethanuser.blogspot.com has published a thermocouple thermostat based on ATmega8 and  MAX31855KASA Thermocouple to digital converter IC from Maxim. Here is a circuit, I used popular thermocouple type K and MAX31855KASA+ to interface it. I could also put some op amp, and connect to Atmega8’s ADC, but 31855 is for lazy people and has everything inside, […]
