If you are dealing with solar or battery power, you might want to have one of these little energy meters built by [Open Green Energy] around. The Arduino-based instrument measures DC voltage, current, power, energy, capacity, and temperature. The range is only up to 26 volts and 3.2 amps, but you could extend that with some external […]

In this project I will show you how to create a solar tracker which like the name implies can follow the movement of the sun throughout the day. And at the end I will show you the energy harvest difference between a solar tracker mounted solar panel and a flat mounted solar panel. Let’s get started!
DIY Miniature Solar Tracker Continue Reading
Hello friend, welcome back after a long break. Earlier I have posted an Instructables on Arduino Energy Meter which was mainly designed to monitor the power from the solar panel (DC Power) in my village. It became very popular on the internet, lots of people all over the world have built their own. So many students have

These days, there’s a huge variety of screens on the market for use with microcontrollers. OLEDs and graphic LCDs abound, while e-ink devices tempt the user with their clean look and low energy consumption. However, for many purposes, the humble HD44780 character LCD does the job just fine. If you’re using such a device, you

Automotive lighting as an important safety and popular design feature in vehicles has evolved rapidly in the past years. Now, Nichia Corporation and Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) start a collaboration to add further momentum to this evolution. Together, they are developing a high-definition (HD) light engine with more than 16,000 micro-LEDs for front light applications. Unlike current
Sometimes you need a little utility device to do a very simple job, and do it well.This one-shot IR helper from [Gregory Sanders] is just that. [Gregory] had a TV that didn’t support automatically turning on when the power was applied. This is frustrating when you like to leave devices switched hard off when not in
ONE SHOT IR HELPER IS A GREAT BEGINNER PROJECT Continue Reading

There is two based meter one for distribution line and one for the
In the world of today’s technology, the Internet of Things is very popular. We see that most of the devices used to create the IoT (Internet of Things) function on small batteries or energy harvesting. We find it quite hard measuring the amount of energy being consumed by these IoT devices due to the dynamic
POWER METER GIVES ACCURATE MEASUREMENT FOR ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF IOT DEVICES Continue Reading
Dialog Semiconductor plc, a leading provider of power management, charging, AC/DC power conversion, BLE, low power Wi-Fi and Industrial ICs, today announced the availability of the DA14531 SmartBond TINY module, empowering customers to build the next generation of connected devices. The SmartBond TINY module was specifically optimized to significantly reduce the cost of adding Bluetooth
Würth Elektronik announced the Bluetooth Low Energy 5.1 module Proteus-III and the proprietary version Thyone-I. The modules, measuring only 8 × 12 × 2 mm, with integrated antenna, encryption technology and six configurable IO pins, are based on the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 chipset. They can be used for IoT and M2M applications, for example, to build radio-based maintenance interfaces and sensor networks.
BLE MODULES INCLUDE ANTENNA, ENCRYPTION TECHNOLOGY, SIX CONFIGURABLE I/O PINS Continue Reading
