Burning Arduino Bootloader on ATMega328 using USBasp Programmer


https://www.electronics-lab.com/burning-the-bootloader-on-atmega328-using-usbasp-programmer/

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to burn Arduino bootloader on a new ATmega328 using USBasp ISP programmer. Every Arduino Uno Board comes with a microcontroller called the Atemga328P, and they are already pre-program with Arduino Bootloader firmware. Therefore, there is no need to burn Arduino bootloader into those Atmega328P chips again. Here, we will […]

DIY USB Line Power Meter Stick

I’ve tried to look at the things from the practical point of view. What would be interesting enough to be build as a […]

How to control LM2596 buck-converter with microcontroller


https://www.electronics-lab.com/how-to-control-lm2596-buck-converter-with-microcontroller/

by hugatry @ hackvlog.com: Every now and then someone asks on different forums if there is an way to control cheap LM2596 modules with an Arduino or another microcontroller. I decided to demonstrate one solution that might be basic electronics for some, but still many don’t know about. Those buck converters will change the output voltage […]

DIY Digital Compass


https://www.electronics-lab.com/diy-digital-compass/

by DaAwesomeP @ instructables.com: I’m astounded that some cars don’t have a digital compass always visible. You either have to launch the navigation app each time which may even disappear when you adjust the radio. In this project, you’ll create a digital compass that can be powered by by the cigarette lighter or another source (batteries […]

If you want to add the application var.siz 6-melody melody melody file must be the same as the name of the specified code name. The components are used: Arduino UNO, SD card reader, […]

Arduino Radar Tutorial: Fading an LED With My Breath


https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-radar-tutorial-fading-an-led-with-my-breath/

by build-electronic-circuits.com: I built this Arduino radar project, where I control the brightness of an LED with my breath. In this tutorial, I will show you exactly how to do it. It was an experiment to get the XeThru radar to work with Arduino. I plan to expand on this later, and build more useful applications. […]

Arduino dust sensor


https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-dust-sensor/

Shadowandy’s Arduino-based Dust Sensor project: Put together a dust sensor using Arduino Mega 2560, Shinyei PPD42NS dust sensor and LCD shield. The codes and wiring instructions for Arduino Mega 2560 and Shinyei PPD42NS is as follow. However, I did include Serial output so you can view the sampling results using Arduino IDE’s Serial Monitor (9600 […]

Arduino-based “Analog” slow cooker controller


https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-based-analog-slow-cooker-controller/

Dan Ternes blogged about his Arduino-based controller for analog slow cookers: With the AC power control figured out, I considered the User Interface. I opted for something simple. The Adafruit RGB LCD Shield would work well as it had both a display and buttons built in. Sure, I could have beat this project about the […]
