The ATtiny series of microcontrollers are becoming popular as more people begin to learn about the huge capabilities packed into their tiny form factors and the possibility of easy programming through several modern tools like the Arduino IDE and PlatformIO. As a result of this popularity, several new devices, DIY or not, are now springing […]

20 Non-Contact Infrared Reflective Sensor for Line Follower Robots


https://www.electronics-lab.com/20-non-contact-infrared-reflective-sensor-line-follower-robots/

This project consists of 20 non-contact infrared reflective sensors and each sensor provides an analog output. QRD114 sensor is the heart of the project which includes Infrared LED and photosensor.  The output of each sensor is high and goes low as objects or lines detected. The analog output voltage is proportional to IR reflected back […]

Free Elektor Circuit: Magic Key


https://www.electronics-lab.com/free-elektor-circuit-magic-key/

An infra-red remote control for an (electromagnetically operated) lock? Nothing special, you will think. But some umpteen years ago this looked like magic, and it was very satisfying to build something like that yourself. Even if it was only to amaze the neighbors. Here you can see how it was achieved, using only a small […]
