by Harry Baggen @ elektormagazine.com STMicroelectronics has launched their second-generation distance senor VL53L0, which is based on STM’s popular FlightSense technology. This sensor is suitable for use in smartphones and tablets to make quick distance measurements for an...

Jacob Beningo @ edn.com discuss on how to select the right mcu for your next project based on hardware and software architecture. Selecting the right microcontroller for a product can be a daunting task. Not only are there a number of technical features to consider, there are also...

This unipolar stepper motor driver circuit is used to drive a 12V unipolar stepper motor with a current rating of 1.25A. It uses PCA9537 IC, which is a 10-pin CMOS device that provides 4 bits of General Purpose I/O (GPIO) expansion with interrupt and reset for I2C-bus/SMBus...

Edward Mallon @ edwardmallon.wordpress.com gives us a detailed explanation about cheap RTC modules found on ebay and other places. I built the first few beta units with the DS3231 Chronodot from Macetech (about $18 each), but I kept on stumbling across cheap RTC modules on eBay,...

educ8s.tv has published another great Arduino project. It's a ATMega328 based datalogger able to record temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and light to a SD card. In this video we build an Advanced Data Logger with Arduino. We use a DHT22 temperature and Humidity Sensor, a...

ArisK3 @ instructables.com decided to replace his home thermostat with a DIY one so he build an Arduino based thermostat with big character LCD. Replacing a standard thermostat (SIEMENS-RAA30 16GR) with a self made, arduino-based, big LCD screen is a fun project. Home Thermostat...

Proto G @ instructables.com has build an Arduino based digital voltmeter that is able to measure up to 30V and it's using an OLED LCD display. In this instructable, I'll show you how to make a simple arduino voltmeter. It can measure voltages in excess of 30VDC depending on how you...
