ONIO.ZERO MICROCONTROLLER RUNS WITHOUT A BATTERY

ONIO.ZERO MICROCONTROLLER RUNS WITHOUT A BATTERY

It’s becoming quite obvious that traditional batteries are limiting the progress of IoT devices. They are expensive, they contain harmful chemicals and most importantly All-Batteries-Will-Die. Vemund Kval Bakken chief technology officer and co-founder at ONiO say the real problem with the battery approach to IoT comes when you actually consider the battery shelf life as well as the environmental

Improving Wearables with Flexible and Rechargable Battery

Improving Wearables with Flexible and Rechargable Battery

Nowadays, there is a lot of technology that implements wearables in fashion, medicine, worker safety, accessories and much more. Many wearables are coupled with uncomfortable charging cables that are irritating for users to handle, some even have big batteries that make wearables a burden instead of an advantage. Statistics show that people tend to abandon

Using a supercapacitor for power management and energy storage with a small solar cell

Using a supercapacitor for power management and energy storage with a small solar cell

In Part 1 of this series, we have reviewed solar cell performance, how to select and size the supercapacitor, requirements of supercapacitor charging circuits and charging IC characteristics. We will now use two case studies to illustrate these properties in detail. Case Study 1: Using a small solar cell indoors at low light, 100 lux,
