As a part of the Microchip Get Launched design competition, Virginia-based Great Big Factory, an electronic device manufacturer, has designed SMT parts counter that runs on a CR2032 coin cell– BeanCounter. Yet to be launched for crowdfunding on CrowdSupply, the manufacturer has provided enough details to decide if this is a product you would want […]
Battery on a motherboard – Choosing the right one
https://www.electronics-lab.com/battery-on-a-motherboard-choosing-the-right-one/
All motherboards are equipped with a CMOS battery. In the past, it was necessary to maintain the operation of the CMOS memory, which was responsible for storing BIOS data and other parameters of a personal computer. Previously, BIOS settings were stored in CMOS memory which was powered by an independent power source like batteries. With […]
Arduino Compatible programmable universal IR blaster
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-compatible-programmable-universal-ir-blaster/
Universal remote controls are very cool devices that can be programmed to operate various brands of one or more types of electronic devices. You can point the universal remote control to any device and control it with buttons available on the remote. Low-end remote controls can control few appliances of the same brand, but high-end […]
OpenRPNCalc: Custom scientific RPN calculator based on STM32
https://www.electronics-lab.com/openrpncalc-custom-scientific-rpn-calculator-based-on-stm32/
Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) is a popular method for representing mathematical expressions. In this notation, the operator symbol comes after the operands in contrast to the Polish notation, where the operators are placed preceding the operands. For example, the Polish notation for the addition of 2 and 5 is 2+5, while in reverse Polish notation, […]
Low Power LCD Clock based on an AVR128DA48
https://www.electronics-lab.com/low-power-lcd-clock-based-on-an-avr128da48/
The Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) are a type of flat panel display that uses liquid crystals for operation. They are relatively old technology but can be seen in clocks, laptops, computers, calculators, dashboards, and other electronic projects and devices because of their advantages over newer types of displays, including low power, low cost, and readability. […]

Stefan Wagner published another project on github.com. He writes: TinyPocketRadio is a simple FM stereo radio based on ATtiny13A and RDA5807MP. It’s powered by a CR2032 coin cell battery and can drive 32 Ohm headphones via the 3.5 mm audio plug. The board size is 38 x 23 mm. It has a power switch and […]
Always-on Low-power Gas Sensing with 10+ Year Coin Cell Battery Life Reference Design
https://www.electronics-lab.com/always-on-low-power-gas-sensing-with-10-year-coin-cell-battery-life-reference-design/
The TIDA-00756 TI Design uses nano-power operational amplifiers, comparators, system timers, temperature sensors, and the SimpleLink™ ultra-low power 2.4-GHz wireless microcontroller (MCU) platform to demonstrate an ultra-low power carbon monoxide detector implementation. These technologies lead to an extremely long battery life, over 10 years with a standard CR2032 lithium ion coin cell battery, which could […]
