Find the latest electronics industry news covering new electronics components releases in various electronics domains such as embedded, power electronics, analog, digital, IoT and Automotive industries.
Better Stack from Youtube recently used an open-source project called RuView and explored how Wi-Fi signals can be used to detect human presence and movements without relying on a camera. He describes how Wi-Fi signals change as he travels through a room and bounce off walls, furniture, and people. When someone moves, their body alters the signal's strength and phase across different frequency…
Before VGA became common, many computers used TTL RGB video to send digital colour signals to their monitors. Today, finding a compatible monitor for this older hardware can be difficult, making it harder to use and restore vintage computers. A new DIY project by Charlysan offers a solution with an RP2350-based TTL RGB to DVI converter. It captures the video output from older computer hardware…
Electronics and mechanical engineer Anas Malas has redefined networking hardware with The Negotiator II, a smart printed circuit board (PCB) business card that doubles as a portable USB Power Delivery (USB PD 3.1) lab power supply. Measuring just 2 mm thick, the wallet-sized card features nearly 200 surface-mount LEDs, dual USB-C ports, and live telemetry displays for voltage, current, and…
As appliance and equipment manufacturers look for ways to reduce system costs, many are replacing displays with Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) using high-end decoration and illuminated capacitive-touch buttons, sliders and wheels. These interfaces often require a large number of touch sensors which can increase acquisition time and reduce the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when using…
The ESP32-C3 AdBlock is an open-source project that turns a low-cost ESP32-C3 microcontroller into a DNS-based ad blocker and tracker system. DNS helps devices find the IP addresses of websites and online services. This project checks DNS requests against a blocklist of known advertising and tracking domains. If a domain is blocked, the ESP32-C3 returns 0.0.0.0 instead of its real IP address.…
Building a custom, low-cost home security setup no longer requires expensive commercial hardware or subscription fees. Using two inexpensive ESP32 microcontroller boards, HVT Lab and Huy Vector from Youtube recently built a fully functional, self-contained wireless video surveillance system. The setup features a dedicated ESP32-CAM module mounted at an entry point such as a front gate which…
The 68k-MBC is a homebrew single-board computer built around the Motorola 68008 processor, running at 8 MHz. What makes it interesting is that it can be built in two versions, Lite and Full. The Lite version keeps the hardware very simple, using three main ICs: the 68008 CPU, a PIC18F47Q10 microcontroller, and SRAM. It supports 128 KB or 512 KB of RAM and can run CP/M-68K. The Full version…
The STM32N6 is being used to run an offline speech recognition system that can turn spoken English into text without a network connection. The project runs on the STM32N6570-DK, using its onboard microphone to capture speech and its display to show the recognized words. This system is designed to recognize different English words. At the core is the STM32N6's Arm Cortex-M55 and its ST Neural-…
BENGALURU, India – DigiKey, the global distribution leader of electronic components and automation products, proudly announces the opening of its new Bengaluru office, home to DigiKey India’s Global Capability Center (GCC), supporting innovation, technology enablement and business operations for teams worldwide. The company held an inauguration ceremony on Oct. 5, 2026, at its new office at…
The Stage I proposal deadline has been extended to Wednesday, October 28, 2026, 17:00 (Taiwan time, UTC+8), following requests from prospective participants for more preparation time. The rest of the schedule is unchanged.
Shortlisted teams announced: Monday, November 2, 2026 Stage II: November 6 to December 4, 2026 Global…
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…
