fmarzocca @ instructables.com build a portable UV index meter with Arduino. He writes: Being unable to expose myself to the sun due to a dermatological problem, I used the time I would have spent on the beach to build an ultraviolet rays meter. UltraV. It is built on an Arduino Nano rev3, with an UV […]
Arduino launches a Command Line Interface (CLI)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-launches-a-command-line-interface-cli/
As a new Linux user or even a window pro user, you will probably be familiar with the terminal or command prompt as known in windows. Those tools give user extra control when using a pc, as you can perform actions faster, automate things and so much more as compared to using the equivalent of GUI […]
Pico – The World’s Smallest Arduino 328PB Core.
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pico-the-worlds-smallest-arduino-328pb-core/
Pico – tiny & powerful. More features and performance than an Arduino Uno in a tiny, quarter-sized board that’s breadboard compatible. [via] The Pico is still the smallest Arduino development board on the planet, at 20.32×20.32mm. It’s breadboard compatible, and offers roughly the same amount of flash (31.5/32Kb), 1Kb of EEPROM, and 2Kb of onboard […]

The quest for making low cost printed circuit boards is one that will always keep on going and it is not going to stop here. Customers, engineers, makers, are looking for low cost printed circuit board manufacturers for their PCB needs but also a reliable one as well. It is a task to find a low-cost […]
muArt – A Simple Serial Adapter Like No Other
https://www.electronics-lab.com/%ce%bcart-a-simple-serial-adapter-like-no-other/
UART has become a popular term with microcontroller applications, with the rise of the Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other open hardware electronics. UART has become a standard for microcontrollers to communicate with each other and exchange data. A UART can be used not just for data exchange between microcontrollers, single board computers, and other hackers […]
Tachyon – 120MHZ 32-bit Arduino Compatible Microcontroller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/tachyon-120mhz-32-bit-arduino-compatible-microcontroller/
The Tachyon is a new lightning-fast open-source Arduino Zero-compatible board developed by Rabid Prototypes, currently on Kickstarter for funding. It features a 32-bit ARM M4F processor running at 120MHz and contains 128K of RAM. The Tachyon’s pinout is nearly identical to both the Neutrino and Arduino Zero, making it a go-with replacement for practically any project using either one. The Tachyon is an open […]
The Fishino Piranha – A Development Board With 120MHz 32bit Microcontroller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/the-fishino-piranha-a-development-board-with-120mhz-32bit-microcontroller/
A few weeks ago Open Electronics announced their new “Fishino Piranha” board. It is one of the first boards to imitate the Arduino MKR. The Fishino Piranha follows with the release of their Uno-inspired “Fishino 32” board, which was released at the start of last year. The Piranha has the same 32-bit Microchip PIC32MX as the previous board with […]
DIY Adjustable Constant Load (Current & Power)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/diy-adjustable-constant-load-current-power/
By GreatScottLab @ instructables.com In this project I will show you how I combined an Arduino Nano, a current sensor, an LCD, a rotary encoder and a couple of other complementary components in order to create an adjustable constant load. It features a constant current and power mode and can handle a maximum of 30V […]
