kiloboot: 1kB TFTP Bootloader for AVR / ENC28J60

“I hate using things I don’t understand. To understand something, really, you have to build it. That’s what I was thinking when I tried to build a sewing machine out of old printers. And I stand by it …

LCD Trainer Kit

“A few years back, I was introduced to the world of Arduino. I was fascinated by the fact that you can make things work with just typing in some lines of code. Do not like how it works? Change a …

Lens-free OLEDs with Efficiency comparable to that of Inorganic LEDs

“The use of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) has extended to various applications, but their efficiency is still lagging behind inorganic light-emitting diodes. In this research, a KAIST team provided a systematic way to yield OLEDs with an external quantum efficiency …

Linear Servo Actuators

“This is a general purpose linear servo actuator (pusher style). Two sizes have been designed, for different space constraints and force outputs. These use continuous rotation servos which helps keep the cost very low. Off the shelf actuators of this …

Make a DIY Smartwatch Using ESP8266

“Smartwatches are extremely fascinating because of the numerous features provided by them with tiny body. The Smartwatch craze began when Pebble released their first Smartwatch. Since then, many companies are constantly working on designing the most utilitarian smartwatch. But, What …

Making solar panels that last half a century

“Case Western Reserve University research team awarded $1.35 million to study solar photovoltaic module construction, part of broader U.S. effort to make solar energy efficient, affordable CLEVELAND—A team of solar energy researchers from Case Western Reserve University …

Multi-functional Quantum Bits for Future Computers

“Compared to classical computers, future quantum computers are to far more efficiently solve certain computation problems. While conventional computers execute one computation step after the other, quantum computers can execute many computation steps in parallel. This will accelerate processing of …

Multi-Source Controlled USB Lamp

“An ATtiny-based tiny USB lamp that can be turned on/off by knocking, clapping, blowing, finger snapping and shouting. If you don’t mind having a bit of fun with electronics this project is for you. In this project, I …

Nanocrystals arrange to improve electronics

“Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers are working to make better electronic devices by delving into the way nanocrystals are arranged inside of them. Nanocrystals are promising building blocks for new and improved electronic devices, due to their size-tunable properties …

NASA Retires Kepler Space Telescope

“After nine years in deep space collecting data that indicate our sky to be filled with billions of hidden planets - more planets even than stars - NASA’s Kepler space telescope has run out of fuel needed for further science operations …
