Reboot-o-matic is an Automatic power-cycling microcontroller and a DC power interrupting watchdog
https://www.electronics-lab.com/reboot-o-matic-is-an-automatic-power-cycling-microcontroller-and-a-dc-power-interrupting-watchdog/
Nick Sayer has posted on Hackaday his recent project, the Reboot-o-matic, which is a Automatic power-cycling microcontroller. The inspiration for the project came when he saw the need to monitor remotely some home automation devices in their vacation home over the internet remotely, but the router was not 100% reliable, so there were occasions where the Internet […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/pandauino-narrow-boards-features-atmega644-1284-based-boards/
644 Narrow and 1284 Narrow are small, simple, ATmega644/1824-based boards, which are designed to improve small footprint Arduino projects. The Narrow board enables two to eight times more flash and RAM resources and ten more digital I/O as compared to an Uno/Nano, plus total compatibility. The Catalonian maker Thierry Guennou claims: “they are the smallest ever breadboard-compatible […]
Cost-effective air quality sensor functions with Raspberry Pi
https://www.electronics-lab.com/cost-effective-air-quality-sensor-functions-raspberry-pi/
Metriful has announced a $39 “Sense” indoor air quality sensor module that functions with the Raspberry Pi and other I2C-enabled systems. The Covid-19 pandemic has led to most of the earth’s population being indoor, and for some especially less privileged they are stuck in crowded small apartments with poor air quality. However, the air quality […]

Elektor Article: LED Booster for Microcontrollers
https://www.electronics-lab.com/elektor-article-led-booster-microcontrollers/
There’s many a time when you want to connect a white LED to a microcontroller operating from a 3 V supply voltage. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work and your nice white LED only lights up feebly or not at all. Why does it work perfectly with red and green LEDs, but not with white? A bit […]
How to use PICKit+ with MPLAB-X IDE
https://www.electronics-lab.com/use-pickit-mplab-x-ide/
PICKit+ recently announced that it is now possible to Program Microchip PICs from MPLAB-X using PICkit2 programmer and it’s even possible for those PICs that MPLAB-X programmer operations do not support. The challenge There are many PIC microcontrollers that currently not supported by MPLAB-X or MPLAB-IPE. This typically includes: 16(L)F15xxx 16(L)F18xxx 16(L)F19xxx 18(L)FxxK40 18(L)FxxK42 18(L)FxxK83 […]
