ams31 @ instructables.com show us how to build a DIY USB to TTL Converter using CH340G IC. Lots of USB to TTL modules are available in the market based on various chips like PL2303, FT232, CP2102 and CH340g. I have decided to use CH340g IC. Low costing clones of Arduino UNO &...

LTC3130 and LTC3130-1 are synchronous current mode buck-boost converters that deliver up to 600 mA of continuous output current from a wide variety of input sources, including single- or multiple-cell batteries as well as solar panels and supercapacitors. By Graham Prophet @...

Sameer Gupta tipped us with his latest project, a DIY Quadcopter: "Drone The Quadcopter" is an featured UAV. I design my project with F450 arm in X-mode design. The full operation takes place via a Flysky FSCT6 remote control unit which gives a better operating range of 800 Meter to...

Bluetooth 4.0 introduced the Bluetooth low energy (BLE), which is a version of Bluetooth protocol designed for devices with power constraints like battery powered sensors. Bluetooth low energy beacons are BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) enabled devices, they repeatedly broadcast radio...

By Bonnie C. Baker (WEBENCH® Senior Applications Engineer): Numerous filter approximations, such as Butterworth, Bessel, and Chebyshev, are available in popular filter software applications; however, it can be time consuming to select the right option for your system. So how do...

The RFM69GW is a RFM69 to MQTT gateway that uses the ubiquitous ESP8266 chip. There are two or three similar projects that I'm aware of but I've put together some hardware and firmware features that make it different. by Xose Pérez: I'm using Felix Rusu's RFM69_ATC library so it...

by Lothar Wendehals: Did you ever program an Arduino? Have you ever been worried about complex control flows written in pure C? Maybe you have already heard of statecharts and state machines? In this blog post, I will show you how to program an Arduino in just 5 minutes in a...

“Teensy” is a tiny size board compatible with Arduino software and libraries. Teensy 3.1 & 3.2 was the last version from Paul Stoffregen (PJRC Company) the creator of Teensy. Paul started a Kickstarter campaign for The new Teensy 3.5 and 3.6 and until the time of...
