ESP8266 Weather Station with Arduino – #1 Hardware

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Background I read about the ESP8266 first in March this year and I didn’t know what to do with. And now I’m really fascinated how easy the connection of an Arduino to the Internet can be. Like others I set up a weather station on a breadboard first and sent data to thingspeak.com. This ends

Stand Alone AVR Programmer

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

From project to project the number of hex files on our PC was increasing. Many people send us their virgin ATMegas to get them flashed. And last not least distributing PCB’s and pre-flahed chips via agile-hardware forced us to burn many, many AVRs. In principle this is a work an ape should do but reality

Zero-wire serial auto-reset for Arduino

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Various versions of the Arduino will reset the board by toggling the serial DTR line, a feature called auto-reset. Since it relies on the DTR line, it won’t work with TTL serial adapters that don’t break out the DTR line. After writing my half-duplex serial UART, I thought of using the TTL serial break signal

Integrated MCUs Enable Cost-Effective Microinverters for Solar Energy Designs

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Microinverters provide an effective solution to solar-energy harvesting by providing power conversion at the individual panel level. The emergence of highly integrated MCUs offers an attractive approach to microinverter design, providing an option that reduces the cost of complexity which limited widespread adoption of microinverters in the past. Today, designers can build highly efficient microinverter

Arduino Based Handheld Bluetooth Game Controller

News & Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

I’ve been on mission lately to design a handheld bluetooth game controller. I’ve made a prototype in the past but, it never was really usable as a gaming device. Although the concept worked well the form factor was not quite there. Well after a few months of tinkering and several designs I finally have one! The design

TinyGlo – Your own firefly light show anytime

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Your own firefly light show anytime Watching fireflies is one my most memorable childhood events. Every summer, I would look forward to watching fireflies dance with their seemingly random blinks. I marveled at how a living creature could produce light all on its own. Even today as I share this experience with my children, I

Moore’s Law extends to cover human progress

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Moore’s Law, famous for predicting the exponential growth of computing power over 40 years, comes from a simple try-fail/succeed model of incremental improvement. The predictive success of Moore’s Law seems uncanny, so let’s take a closer look to get an idea of where it comes from. Moore conceived his law for computational power but Moore’s-like
