Luke wanted to login on his PC without having to type in a password. He solved this by using a RC522 RFID reader and an Arduino Leonardo. There are various products on the market that would solve this problem from fingerprint readers to proximity dongles but i decided to see what i could knock up […]
How to measure temperature very accurately with an Arduino
https://www.electronics-lab.com/measure-temperature-accurately-arduino/
This project shows how to measure temperature data from a TSYS01 Temperature Sensor board using Arduino: While studying in university we were challenged as part of a course work into designing a box with very accurate temperature control. If the project were to succeed, multiple boxes were to be built and used in a research […]

Prototype to production: Arduino for the professional
https://www.electronics-lab.com/prototype-production-arduino-professional/
Jacob Beningo @ edn.com discuss how you can benefit from the Arduino platform if you are a professional. Despite its popularity among hobbyists and electronics enthusiasts, the Arduino has become infamous among professional embedded systems developers. I must admit that for the longest time I also viewed the Arduino as so simple it was nearly […]

Control an electrical appliance with your smartphone – WiFi
https://www.electronics-lab.com/control-electrical-appliance-smartphone-wifi/
Ruben Marc Speybrouck show us how to control a device using your tablet or smartphone. To achieve that he used arduino, blynk and a wemos / ESP8266 board. In this tutorial we will be making something I call a wifi controlled ac switch. (But iy also works for DC applications that are powered by a […]
T-baneklokke – A Coundown clock
https://www.electronics-lab.com/t-baneklokke-coundown-clock/
Joakim made a coundown clock for his wife and documented the whole process on his blog: The clock is built using an Arduino, and has a battery powered real time clock to remember the time while powered off. To make it truly stand alone I added the possibility to set the time and time-to-leave using buttons. The […]
