NanoPi NEO2 also known as NanoPi NEO2-LTS from FriendlyELEC is a small SBC powered by Allwinner H5 SoC with an ARM Mali-450MP GPU. It is intended for server/headless applications with Ethernet & USB ports, as well as I/O headers. FriendlyELEC launched yet another variant called NanoPi NEO2 Black with the same form factor and Allwinenr H5 64-bit Arm SoC. Only upgrading the eMMC flash module and supporting up to […]

SELPIC 1+ is a palm-sized handheld Inkjet printer that is currently on a Kickstarter fundraiser campaign well exceeding its targeted goal. This printer allows the user to print on any surface and any material. It can print any text, image, QR code, barcode by simply moving the device across the printing surface. The printing surface can be anything such as paper, […]

A MIDI synt controller box is a box that’s main purpose is to play sounds on another device like a computer or synth module. The box itself doesn’t generate any noise on its own at all, if they do it’s very limited. MIDI controllers range from little tiny things that are pretty cheap to make […]

iotSDR is a versatile dev board with everything you need to design custom IoT protocols & gateways. iotSDR provides a platform that allows SDR developers and enthusiasts to develop cutting-edge solutions in the IoT radio and network domains. It has two Microchip AT86RF215 frontends, capable of providing I/Q streams and modem functionality for the Xilinx […]

The MAXREFDES111# reference design from Maxim Integrated is a compact 24V input flyback-converter module that features 5V at 400mA output. Transformer selection is often the most difficult step in isolated power design. Multiple transformers (Wurth Electronics 750315847, HanRun HR041087, and Sumida 06343-T588) have been qualified for this design, simplifying the process of transformer selection. The reference design delivers a […]

The ESP8266-01 only has a limited number of I/O pins (only 4). Fortunately these pins can be used for I2C communication, allowing us to add a hoist of other chips.I wanted to add an RTC to the ESP8266-01 and for testing purposes I did not want to always have to go to an ESP8266 generated […]

u-blox has introduced the JODY-W2 multiradio module, a feature-rich and compact wireless module for automotive applications. by Ally Winning @ eenewsembedded.com Measuring only a 13.8mm x 19.8mm to address the space constraints that car manufacturers face, the module can operate in temperatures from -40ºC to 105ºC. The module is also well suited for industrial applications. The […]

The International Space Station (ISS) is one of greatest feat of engineering achievements by mankind. It is a space station (habitable artificial satellite) in low Earth orbit. The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which crew members conduct experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology, and other fields. The station is suited for […]

The ESP8266 is a wonderful microcontroller. They can be purchased cheaply and have built in wifi. In this guide I will not go over how to flash the ESP8266 module with the basic firmware as this is covered on the http://ESP8266basic.com web site in detail. All the parts to build this project can be found on ebay […]

Allegro Microsystems’ device consists of a linear Hall sensor circuit with a copper conduction path located near the surface of the die. The Allegro ACS711 provides economical and precise solutions for AC or DC current sensing in <100 V audio, communications systems, and white goods. The device consists of a linear Hall sensor circuit with a copper conduction […]
