This Solar Buck-Boost Module Enhances Solar and USB Power Management for Embedded Systems
https://www.electronics-lab.com/this-solar-buck-boost-module-enhances-solar-and-usb-power-management-for-embedded-systems/
Juan Flores’ Solar Buck-Boost Module is designed to charge a lithium-polymer battery using either a solar panel or USB power, providing a constant output voltage for noise-free power management for low-power applications. This board is designed to automatically switch between solar and USB power, without interrupting the attached load. This project is a module that […]
The Launchpad – A $2 Arduino Nano alternative
https://www.electronics-lab.com/the-launchpad-a-2-arduino-nano-alternative/
Boards like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi have their origins, deep in education, either maker education as a way for people to express themselves (Arduino) or an affordable and portable way for people to learn about computers and programming (Raspberry Pi). The culture of creating solutions targetted at beginners, is one that is quickly fading […]

Turn Your Fidget Spinner Into A Vision Display
https://www.electronics-lab.com/turn-fidget-spinner-vision-display/
Fidget spinner became a popular toy earlier in 2017. Most of us have one or at least have tried it. Consists of a bearing surrounded by a three-lobed flat structure, it can spin along its axis with a little effort. Makers and hardware hackers always try to employ different tools to make innovative ideas. Some […]
Panelization – using GerberPanelizer on Windows
https://www.electronics-lab.com/panelization-using-gerberpanelizer-windows/
Arsenijs over at Hackaday.io explains how to panelize PCBs using GerberPanelizer on Windows. He writes: This tutorial was done on Windows. Authors claim it could also be used on Linux by using Mono, but I haven’t tried and don’t understand a lot about Mono to see what could be done. I am switching to Linux nowadays, so […]
Turn Arduino into an AVR TPI Programmer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/turn-arduino-avr-tpi-programmer/
Elliot Williams @ hackaday.com show us how to use your Arduino to program AVR TPI enabled microcontrollers. Turning an Arduino of virtually any sort into a simple AVR 6-pin ISP programmer is old hat. But when Atmel came out with a series of really tiny AVR chips, the ATtiny10 and friends with only six pins […]
