The circuit described here is a SPDIF output with a USB interface. It allows connecting Personal Computers, Tablets or Smartphones to Audio equipment including AV receivers, high-end stereo amplifiers or stand-alone audio DACs. It has a infrared remote control receiver that allows...

Electrolama has been developing two open-source hardware 802.15.4/Zigbee projects namely “zig-a-zig-ah” (aka “zzh”) USB stick, based on Texas Instruments CC2652R SimpleLink multi-standard wireless MCU, and Zoe (Zigbee + Poe) development board based on Raspberry Pi HAT form...

A USB multitool for monitoring, hacking, and developing USB devices (work in progress) This is an early work-in-progress version of a USB multitool. LUNA isn't yet suited for end-users; but hardware development has reached a point where current-revision boards (r0.2+) make good...

Itead.cc, the Chinese company known for the array of electronics products like the SONOFF smart switch and other makers related hardware, has released a USB Zigbee CC2531 Dongle. The dongle can be used in connection with a PC or single-board computer to build your customized home...

The STUSB4500L from STMicroelectronics is a small-footprint addition to the Company’s USB-C controller IC family designed and certified for pure 5 V sink-only applications. All mandatory features to use the USB-C connector as a 5 V universal power plug are integrated, allowing...

With a code size of 1KB on an ATtiny13A MCU, this tiny module measures voltages up to 22 volts and current up to 5 amps. This project is published by Tirdad Sadri Nejad. He writes: There are a lot of so-called "USB doctor" modules which are used for monitoring currents flowing through...

USB Type-C introduced significant changes to the USB standard. The reversible connector eliminated the issue of trying to plug the connector in the right way every time. Another issue it addressed was allowing the flexibility to have USB power with an adjustable USB voltage from...

The USB-C PD-Sink is a board by Pier 42 that enables any device to be powered from a USB supply. It allows the option to set the voltage at 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V or 20V and allowing current as high as 5A. The current settings are very flexible in steps of 250mA from 0 to 5A, but this...
