Tiny4FSK: A Compact Lightweight Tracking System for High-Altitude Balloon Projects


https://www.electronics-lab.com/tiny4fsk-a-compact-lightweight-tracking-system-for-high-altitude-balloon-projects/

Makers have recently announced the Tiny4FSK, a lightweight, high-altitude tracking system designed for use with high-altitude balloons (HABs), running on a single AA battery for 10-17 hours. It utilizes 4-frequency shift keying (4FSK) and the Horus Binary v2 system, commonly used with RS41ng radiosondes. It features a modular design with a microcontroller (SAMD21G18A), a GPS […]

Minima; The Tiny, SMD-Based, Arduino Compatible Development Board


https://www.electronics-lab.com/minima-the-tiny-smd-based-arduino-compatible-development-board/

Miniaturization is a constant goal for any electronics hobbyist or embedded systems designer. The smaller the device, the higher the number of potential applications. Several designers and hobbyist have had a go at miniaturizing several members of the Arduino family of boards since they became popular, but in more ways than one, it is probably […]

Meet Minima – One of the smallest and most versatile Arduino boards


https://www.electronics-lab.com/meet-minima-one-of-the-smallest-and-most-versatile-arduino-boards/

Hamish Morley has designed a microcontroller module to help enthusiasts and developers accelerate their ideas faster into products — a versatile Arduino-compatible board in a really small package, called Minima. “Minima is a small and versatile Arduino compatible programmable microcontroller module in a surface mount format. It is an ideal stepping stone between traditional jumper-based […]

An Open Source SAMD21 Development Board by sirmylesavery @ hackaday.io This project started after my first introduction to PCB design at my 2019 summer internship. At that internship, I designed a board that used a SAMD21 to control a GPS and LoRa module. This was my first introduction to the SAMD21 MCU and I immediately […]
