Wemos LOLIN S3 Mini Conforms to the Mini Form Factor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/wemos-lolin-s3-mini-conforms-to-the-mini-form-factor/
Compliance with the Mini Form Factor in development boards often comes with a bigger price tag. On the other hand, the former also strays from providing scope for adding a wide range of sensors to the development board. The new LOLIN S3 Mini, priced at a mere $5, might just be the resolution in need. […]

MPY-Jama, created by Jean-Christophe Bos, is a great tool for those looking for a balance between heavy and light IDEs that support MicroPython. MicroPython is an open-source interpreter that runs on embedded hardware, allowing programmers to write easy-to-understand programs for microcontrollers like Espressif’s ESP32 quickly. MPY-Jama has an IDE, a REPL terminal, Wi-Fi tools, and […]
M5Stick T-Lite Wi-Fi thermal camera powered by ESP32 microcontroller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/m5stick-t-lite-wi-fi-thermal-camera-powered-by-esp32-microcontroller/
Specialized imaging devices called thermal cameras are devices that make use of infrared radiation to detect and measure the temperatures of objects. The advantage of such cameras is that they can detect temperature differences that are not visible to the naked eye. The M5stick T-Lite is a small, lightweight, and portable thermal camera that is […]
Arduino Announces Support for MicroPython, Brings it to Several of its Development Boards
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-announces-support-for-micropython-brings-it-to-several-of-its-development-boards/
So, it finally happened that MicroPython eventually became a part of the Arduino ecosystem. The Arduino team recently announced that it is bringing in the microcontroller-focused Python into a number of its products, making Micropython the second officially-supported language in the history of the company. This is such a big move for Arduino which for […]
Newt, a low-power open source display powered by an ESP32-S2 module
https://www.electronics-lab.com/newt-a-low-power-open-source-display-powered-by-an-esp32-s2-module/
A campaign was launched on Crowdsupply for Newt, which is a battery-powered, always-on, wall-mountable display that can go online to retrieve weather, calendars, sports scores, to-do lists, quotes. Newt is powered by an ESP32-S2 microcontroller which enables you to program with Arduino, CircuitPython, MicroPython, or ESP-IDF. About Newt, the company says: “We consider Newt to be […]
Inkplate 6PLUS: Verstaile, easy-to-use and energy-efficient Wi-Fi enabled 6-inch e-paper display
https://www.electronics-lab.com/inkplate-6plus-verstaile-easy-to-use-and-energy-efficient-wi-fi-enabled-6-inch-e-paper-display/
E-paper displays are fascinating. They mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper, and they look brilliant! E-Paper displays make reading comfortable and provide a wider viewing angle than most light-emitting displays. An idle E-Paper display can be easily viewed in direct sunlight without the image appearing to fade. Moreover, the fact that these screens […]
