by Denis Meyer @ elektormagazine.com: Research is in progress at the University of Aalto in Finland on the development of a process for inkjet printing of text, photos or any illustrations as solar cells. The idea is not new but these researchers are covering new ground which will...

Two combination accelerometer-gyro sensors, the KXG07 and KXG08 from Kionix, a subsidiary of Rohm, provide six axes of motion sensing. Both devices feature a configurable low-power architecture and a large 4096-byte FIFO buffer with timestamps for use in gaming systems, smart...

"myDevices", creators of IoT platform Cayenne, announced in a press release a partnership with Arduino to integrate Arduino support in their system. The partnership seems to be with Arduino SRL not with Arduino LLC. The currently supported Arduino boards, beside variety of sensors and...

Omron announced a new seismic sensor and claims it’s the world's smallest in size. D7S sensor is a MEMS 3-axis acceleration sensor featuring OMRON's unique SI value calculation algorithm, which has a high correlation with the seismic intensity scale that indicates the magnitude of an...

Bob tipped us with his latest project. It's a custom Arduino shield able to communicate with a Geiger-Muller counter and display data on a LCD display. The data are displayed in two layouts: bar graph of the pulses in one minute interval and histogram of the gathered data. In the...

KA7OEI designed a circuit that disconnects the battery when it over-discharges. He writes: The avoidance of overcharging is usually pretty easy to avoid: Just use the appropriate charging system – but overdischarge is a bit more difficult, particularly if the battery packs in...
