Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, has expanded its GaN portfolio into low-voltage applications with its first family of 100V enhancement mode (E-mode) GaN-based discrete power transistors. The RTP100E005G1FL, RTP100E2P6G1FL, RTP100E1P8G1FL-DSC and RTP100E1P2G1FL-DSC low-voltage GaN FETs deliver ultra-fast switching speeds and…
DIY electronics enthusiasts are finding creative ways to shrink powerful microcontrollers into portable, daily-carry gadgets, and custom electronic keychains have quickly become a favourite project. Designed around the ultra-compact Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-S3 board, this minimalist build by Tech Talkies combines an interactive 1.3-inch OLED display, a tiny LiPo battery, and a power slide…
Tech Talkies Youtube channel has built a handheld color picker using the ESP32-S3 that can scan the color of a real-world object and show its RGB and HEX values on a small display. Users can point the device at a surface, capture its color, and see the result without relying on a phone camera or computer. This makes it useful for designers, makers, artists, and anyone who wants to quickly…
Pocket Tank is an open-source virtual fish tank that uses a small AI model to control its virtual fish. It runs on an ESP32-S3 and creates a small aquarium where fish can eat, explore, rest, follow other fish, play, and interact with each other. Each fish has different values such as hunger, energy, curiosity, stress, boredom, and trust, which can change how it behaves. The project was created…
Indian researchers and engineers have successfully established a free-space quantum key distribution link spanning 5.56 km, marking the country’s first such demonstration at this distance. The field trial, conducted on the night of 27-28 September 2026, connected the Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG-N) with IIT Gandhinagar. QNu Labs supplied…
Traditional infrared presence sensors are cheap, but unreliable for smart homes, often turning off lights if you remain still for even a few seconds. Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar modules offer a far superior alternative by detecting micro-movements like breathing and even tracking a person's exact 2D position in a room. However, commercial mmWave presence sensors can cost anywhere from $40…
FeroFlyF405 is an open source flight controller built around the STM32F405 microcontroller and running INAV firmware. It was designed from scratch by a maker named Farhan, who shared the hardware files on GitHub and documented the build in a video walkthrough.
The board has an LSM6DSL IMU, a DPS368 barometer, 12 motor outputs, a CAN bus, an I2C port…
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced four new power modules featuring 650 V superjunction MOSFETs in the industry-standard SOT-227 package. Designed to deliver an optimized balance between conduction and switching losses, the Vishay Semiconductors VS-FC50SA65, VS-FC100SA65, VS-FC150SA65, and VS-FC50LA65 support high efficiency power conversion in industrial applications.…
SemiconLab has introduced LiteWing Blockly, a visual programming application that lets users create autonomous LiteWing drone programs with drag-and-drop blocks instead of writing code from scratch. The software is designed to make drone programming more accessible for students, beginners, makers, and educators, while also showing the Python code generated by each block arrangement in real…
Maker pasquale887 has developed HaloSense V1, a wearable haptic headband that helps users sense the direction of people and objects through vibrations instead of looking at a screen. The headband has 13 small vibration motors arranged around the forehead. When a person or target is detected in a particular direction, the motor in the corresponding position vibrates, helping the wearer…
A maker has built a calculator out of some 3D-Printed parts that can perform up to six-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division that too without any complicated electronics. The machine is made from more than 130 custom designed parts and works entirely through gears, pins, levers, springs, and a hand crank. Its design is inspired by historic mechanical calculators, especially…
