Cost and size, just to mention a few, makes using an Arduino board in certain projects an overkill, often times its always too big, or too expensive for the scope of the project especially when it’s a project that we need to make several units. One good way to retain the simplicity...

In this episode Shahriar demonstrates a full analysis of a CDM324 24GHz Doppler radar module from IC Station. Opening the module reveals a series of microwave PCB components and several active devices. A complete analysis of the module is presented. The unit is then measured and the...

AAEON, a major developer of industrial computing solutions, is releasing a Display Box Kit to work in conjunction with its successful OMNI Series. The new kit builds on the series’ modular design and allows users and distributors to quickly convert panel PCs into digital displays and...

Black Magic Probe Mini V2.1 (BMP21) designed by 1BitSquared in collaboration with Black Sphere Technologies is a JTAG and SWD Adapter used for programming and debugging ARM Cortex MCUs. Its the best friend of any ARM microcontroller developer. Black Magic Probe gets rid of...

By GreatScottLab @ instructables.com In this project I will show you how I combined an Arduino Nano, a current sensor, an LCD, a rotary encoder and a couple of other complementary components in order to create an adjustable constant load. It features a constant current and power mode...

ICP Deutschland has announced the KINO-DH310 Mini-ITX CPU board with LGA1151 socket that gives access to the latest Intel Coffee Lake processor series. [via] The board can take any Coffee Lake processor, from Core i7/i5/i3 to Celeron or Pentium. Depending on the CPU...

The diffusion of the A10 Cortex A8 processor did not stop the ARM9 market of the Allwinner F series. Since its foundation, Allwinner has released several SoCs for use in Android tablets, as well as in smartphones and camera systems. The A10 was the most successful Soc of Allwinner. The...

Another great little project is published by David Johnson-Davies and it's about a circuit able to keep track of your alcohol intake. There seems to be a lot of discussion in the news currently about how much alcohol it's safe to drink on a regular basis [1][2]. If you want help in...
