by jwozniak @ jwdevs.com : The world of IoT for “Smart Home” is growing very fast. There are various areas of interests from security to automated animal care depicted for instance on this page. 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 […]

Arduino Chess Clock
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-chess-clock/
by benhur.goncalves @ instructables.com: Hey folks! After making an Arduino smartwatch just last week, I received many complaints,or tips, to use a RTC (real-time clock) module. That’s because the Arduino timer is not very precise, it can lose a couple a minutes along a full work day. Luckly, I had one of those modules at my […]
