Metabolizer: A open-source waste-processing system generating electricity from trash


https://www.electronics-lab.com/metabolizer-a-open-source-waste-processing-system-generating-electricity-from-trash/

Harvesting useful energy from municipal waste or our daily garbage is common around the world. In some developed countries, only 1 percent of household waste is dumped to landfills, while the remaining garbage is either recycled or incinerated in power plants to generate electricity. Junk removal services play a crucial role in managing household waste […]

Paralleling linear regulators made easy


https://www.electronics-lab.com/paralleling-linear-regulators-made-easy/

Various configuration of linear regulator for parallel operation discussed in this technical article from Analog Devices. Linear regulators provide a simple, low noise solution for dc-dc regulation. However, at higher VIN-VOUT differentials the low efficiency and high power dissipation of linear regulators limits the amount of output current that can realistically be delivered. Connecting multiple […]

Turn Your Raspberry Pi Into a Standalone AVR/ESP Programmer with LEMPA


https://www.electronics-lab.com/turn-your-raspberry-pi-into-a-standalone-avr-esp-programmer-with-lempa/

One of the challenges of developing and producing microcontroller-based hardware projects in a repeatable, small/medium volume, is the amount of work it takes to flash the MCUs with the required firmware. Another side of the problem for designers who work with diverse types of microcontrollers is the number of different kinds of programmers they need […]

1A Over Current Protection Load Switch


https://www.electronics-lab.com/project/1-a-over-current-protection-load-switch/

The Over-current limit load switch project presented here provides full protection to devices and loads from access load conditions. The default current limit is set to 1 Amp, however, this load limit is adjustable from 0.4A to 2A with the help of R4 ISET resistor. When an overload condition occurs circuit responds to that overload […]

OPAMP Comparators


https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/opamp-comparators/

Introduction In most of the previous operational amplifier tutorials, the circuits had a feedback loop to the inverting input. This design is the most common because it provides indeed stability and avoids undesirable saturating effects and, it is also common to call it the linear mode. On the other hand, when no feedback is applied […]
