Weather stations are interesting projects for beginners and very useful for expert makers. They are usually quite simple to build but also provide fairly accurate and useful weather data. We have built a couple of them in different tutorials on this website, with the difference usually being, the combinations and sometimes the accuracy of the sensors used.

With ultra-low quiescent current of 250 nA, the MCP1811 enables battery life which is four-times longer than conventional ultra-low Iq LDO regulators. Compact packages down to 1 x 1 mm also help the MCP1811 to minimise board space. The MCP1811/12 devices are 150 mA (MCP1811) and 300 mA (MCP1812) low dropout (LDO) linear regulators that provide high-current and low-output

A team of researchers from Germany and Argentina have devised an ultra-thin planar Hall effect (PHE) sensor capable of detecting very faint magnetic fields even when flexed or wrapped around a wire. by Julien Happich @ www.eenewsembedded.com In a paper titled “Highly compliant planar Hall effect sensor with sub 200 nT sensitivity” published in Nature’s npj
Researchers develop thin sensor to detect magnetic fields down to 200nT Continue Reading
A research team from UC Berkeley Univercity (Daniel S. Drew, Nathan O. Lambert, Craig B. Schindler, and Kristofer S. J. Pister) has designed and build mini microbot that is capable of taking flight without any motor or moving part. This is all achieved using electrohydrodynamic thrust to provide lift, which is a technique to create air-flow

With the increase of high integration programmable chips, FPGAs are getting more and more popular. FPGAs has been traditionally known to be generally complex, but a new line of FPGAs have been showing some promise and that is believed that will help increase their popularity. Tiny FPGAs are the next promising thing, they are low-cost
