“Supplino is a Quick & Dirty PSU (Power Supply Unit) made with some widely available breakout boards, an Arduino Nano (or an Arduino Nano Every) and a graphical LCD. Power output is given by a DC/DC ...

The world of littleBits (the “not-a-toy” toy that I reaaaally wish existed when I was younger) just got a little bit bigger: it can now play friendly with Arduino. If you’re not familiar with ...

One part that I find myself using somewhat regularly in microcontroller-based experiments is the “USB power bank” that provides USB-standard 5-V DC output and offers some basic protection features.

IoT and wearable devices have become essential tools in our everyday lives. From health monitoring wearables to smart home sensors, they rely heavily on battery power to function. However, optimizing ...

[Trent M. Wyatt]’s CPUVolt library provides a fast way to measure voltage using no external components, and no I/O pin. It only applies to certain microcontrollers, but he provides example Arduino ...

I got a couple of INA 219 modules from an online seller overseas. I was looking for a different dc current sensor module to start a small battery charger project, so I welcomed them. The INA219 based ...
