Raspberry Pi Dives Into The Microcontroller World With The New Raspberry Pi Pico
https://www.electronics-lab.com/raspberry-pi-dives-into-the-microcontroller-world-with-the-new-raspberry-pi-pico/
Today, we woke up to some very interesting news. The Raspberry Pi foundation is finally taking their first steps in Arduino territory! Well, not quite, as they are more working together than rivaling each other. After both companies dominate the maker market with their widely popular, easy to use boards that the community loves, the […]
$6 WT32-ETH01 is a Tiny ESP32 board with Ethernet
https://www.electronics-lab.com/6-wt32-eth01-is-a-tiny-esp32-board-with-ethernet/
We have seen how good the ESP32 series of microcontrollers is, as they are probably the second favorite (only dethroned by the mighty Arduino boards) among makers, with their connectivity being their strongest suit, making it easy to develop IoT applications with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. Besides that, you get a low power board with […]
Wemo’s launches W600-PICO that supports Micro-Python for only $2

W600 – PICO is currently the most recent board released by Wemos. The company is responsible for boards like the D1 and D32. This board is based on a Winner Micro – W600 SoC. The first time users had the opportunity to work with the chip when Seeed released multiple boards starting from late 2018. […]
Meet the STM32 “Black Pill” Development Board
https://www.electronics-lab.com/meet-stm32-black-pill-development-board/
After playing second (maybe third?) fiddle for a while to a range of maker-friendly boards from Arduino and others, STMicro finally got it right with the STM32F103C8T6 Arm Cortex-M3 microcontroller-based “BluePill” development board which can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. As all good hardware requires, a new version of the board which is being […]
The Maixduino – Sipeed’s New Neural Network MAix-Based Board
https://www.electronics-lab.com/maixduino-sipeeds-new-neural-network-maix-based-board/
Sipeed released their 64-bit RISC-V MAix module at the end of last year, crowdfunding a series of boards on Indiegogo built majorly to do machine learning inferencing at the edge, with no cloud needed. There has been a lot of work put in, to document and support the MAix module, including both Arduino support and […]
Pyboard D Series MicroPython Board Features STM32F7 MCU, WiFi and Bluetooth
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pyboard-d-series-micropython-board-features-stm32f7-mcu-wifi-bluetooth/
Pyboard D-series (aka Pyboard D, or just PyBD) board was introduced during the Micropython presentation at FOSDEM 2019 and it’s build around a faster STM32F7 Cortex-M7 MCU, with 512Kb of RAM, and 2Mb of Flash, as well as built-in WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. It also features a pair of external Flash chips and a micro […]
Fomu Runs MicroPython And Fits Into Your USB Port
https://www.electronics-lab.com/fomu-runs-micropython-fits-usb-port/
When it comes to the world of Microcontrollers, FPGAs, DSPs, or basically anything related to embedded devices, we have traditionally been accustomed to something averagely big (in regards to this domain) and even created some standards like SBCs (Single Board Computers) to categorize devices. What if we could have development boards that goes beyond the […]
Heart-rate monitor on a small OLED display with MicroPython
https://www.electronics-lab.com/heart-rate-monitor-small-oled-display-micropython/
By Martin Fitzpatrick @ martinfitzpatrick.name show us how to build the micro display heart-rate monitor. Pulse sensors have become popular due to their use in health-monitors like the Fitbit. The sensors used are cheap, simple and pretty reliable at getting a reasonable indication of heart rate in daily use. They work by sensing the change […]
€15 IoT Geiger Counter using ESP8266
https://www.electronics-lab.com/e15-iot-geiger-counter-using-esp8266/
Geiger counters are devices used to detect radioactive emissions, most commonly beta particles and gamma rays. The counter consists of a tube filled with an inert gas that becomes conductive of electricity when it is impacted by a high-energy particle. The Geiger–Müller tube or G–M tube is the sensing element of the Geiger counter instrument […]
