The USB-C PD-Sink is a board by Pier 42 that enables any device to be powered from a USB supply. It allows the option to set the voltage at 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V or 20V and allowing current as high as 5A. The current settings are very flexible in steps of 250mA from 0 to 5A, but this depends […]

Gamify your chain reaction by using a Strawbees grabber connected to Makey Makey to start a timer in Scratch when you grab a conductive egg. Drop the egg on the Strawbees roller coaster track. When the egg rolls into the egg drop, it stops the timer. Here is what our full project in action looks […]

STMicroelectronics’ step-down converter is an easy to use synchronous monolithic step-down regulator STMicroelectronics L6983 Synchronous Step-Down Converter is an easy to use monolithic step-down regulator capable of delivering up to 3A DC to the load. The wide input voltage range makes the device suitable for a broad range of applications. The L6983 is based on a peak […]

This is a micro:bit micro drum machine, that instead of just generating the sound, actuelly drums. It is heavy inspired by the rabbits from the micro:bit orchestra. It took me some time to find some solenoids that were easy to use with the mocro:bit, since I didn’t want to use alternstive power sources or relays. The […]

The LT8648S synchronous step-down dc-dc regulator from Analog Devices features second generation Silent Switcher architecture designed to minimize EMI emissions while delivering high efficiency at high switching frequencies. This includes the integration of input and boost capacitors to optimize all the fast current loops inside and make it easy to achieve advertised EMI performance by reducing layout […]

Electrical engineers from the University of California, San Diego recently designed a new portable chip that consumes 5000 less power than the Wi-Fi radios that we have today. The new chip, which is smaller in size compared with a grain of rice, is said to be ideal for IoT devices, smart home setups, and wearables. With just 28 microwatts […]

Here is a great weekend project, if you are into trekking or taking long bike rides, and need a GPS data logger to keep track of all your treks/rides you taken… Once you have completed the build and downloaded the data from the GPS module of the trail, you can save the same using Google […]

ONiO, a Norwegian healthcare-focused Internet of Things (IoT) expert has unveiled ONiO.zero, an ultra-low-power RISC-V-based microcontroller capable of operating solely from harvested energy — without needing a battery, capacitor, or any other means of energy storage. The company says “ONiO.zero is an ultra-low-power wireless MCU that uses energy harvesting technology.” This indicates that the ONiO.zero solely functions on energy harnessed from its surroundings. With […]

It is a 3D paper heart which starts Blinking (Glowing) when someone holds it. To surprise someone, this gift is a perfect idea as it looks like a simple origami heart but it starts blinking just like a beating heart when someone touches or holds it. This Origami beating heart can be easily made in […]

Driving new user experiences in automotive infotainment thanks to concurrent dual Wi‑Fi support and Bluetooth 5.1. u‑blox, a global provider of leading positioning and wireless communication technologies, has announced the JODY‑W3 series, multiradio modules featuring Wi‑Fi 6 with 2 x 2 MIMO and dual‑mode Bluetooth 5.1. Supporting the latest IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as Wi‑Fi 6, […]
