Since I’m always creating weird and wonderful Arduino-based hobby projects, I now think of my new profile photo as being titled ‘Powering an Arduino: A Shocking Twist.’ Since I’m always creating weird ...

Scott Tattersall has developed a new low-power Arduino board which includes built-in support for Sigfox and the ability for it to be powered by a 3V CR2 battery. Designed to be used for Internet of ...

If you’ve got a few solar panels lying around, or even if you want some 120/230 V AC power from a few 12 Volt batteries, you’ll need a power inverter. Sure, you can drop on down to any big box store ...

IoT and wearable devices have become essential tools in our everyday lives. From health monitoring wearables to smart home sensors, they rely heavily on battery power to function. However, optimizing ...

This is the latest addition to Arduino’s line-up of budget-friendly development boards, and it uses Intel’s cute-as-a-button Curie chip to power itself along. In fact, the Intel chip’s not far off the ...

One part that I find myself using somewhat regularly in microcontroller-based experiments is the “USB power bank” that provides USB-standard 5-V DC output and offers some basic protection features.

This short project investigates using a power switch tail with the Arduino. The power switch tail allows a user to turn outlet run devices on and off with the Arduino. Therefore using this project as ...
