Get Sensor Data From Arduino To Smartphone Via Bluetooth
https://www.electronics-lab.com/get-sensor-data-arduino-smartphone-via-bluetooth/
Hariharan Mathavan at allaboutcircuits.com designed a project on using Bluetooth to communicate with an Arduino. Bluetooth is one of the most popular wireless communication technologies because of its low power consumption, low cost and a light stack but provides a good range. In this project, data from a DHT-11 sensor is collected by an Arduino and then […]
Researchers Developed Hybrid 3D Printing Method To Make Flexible Wearable Devices
https://www.electronics-lab.com/researchers-developed-hybrid-3d-printing-method-make-flexible-wearable-devices/
Wearable electronic devices that intend to track and measure the body’s movements must be soft enough to flex and stretch to accommodate every body-movement. But, integrating rigid electronics on skin-like flexible materials has proven to be challenging. Clearly, Such components cannot stretch like soft materials can, and this mismatch frequently causes wearable devices to fail. […]
Researchers Develop Long Range Backscatter Sensors That Consume Almost No Power
https://www.electronics-lab.com/university-washington-develops-long-range-backscatter-sensors-consumes-almost-no-power/
Researchers at the University of Washington developed a new backscatter sensors that can operate over long ranges with very little power. The researchers demonstrated for the first time that the device runs on almost zero power and can transmit data across distances of up to 2.8 kilometers. Backscatter communication works by emitting a radio signal and […]
