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.
Maker Tim Alex Jacobs has turned nearly 3,000 old electromechanical flip dots into an unusual real-time fluid simulation display. Instead of using an LCD or LED panel, the project uses eight salvaged flip-dot panels, where every pixel is a small magnetic disk that physically flips between two positions. which is black and yellow. The result is a display that not only shows the movement of the…
Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the SLG46801, the industry’s smallest GreenPAK configurable mixed-signal device offered in both WLCSP and STQFN packages. The 9-ball WLCSP measures just 1.155mm × 1.155mm and combines an ultra-small footprint with multi-time programmability, enabling designers to reduce board…
Alun Morris’s Offline-Wikipedia using ESP32 is an open-source project that turns the inexpensive ESP32-2432S028, commonly called the “Cheap Yellow Display” or CYD, into a standalone Wikipedia reader. The hardware combines an ESP32 microcontroller with a 320×240 ILI9341 color display, an XPT2046 touchscreen, and a microSD card interface. Instead of depending on Wi-Fi or cloud services, the…
A maker has built a standalone DJ system using the ESP32-P4, allowing a Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 DJ controller to work without a laptop running DJ software. The open-source Pajoniiir project uses a Guition JC4880P443C_I_W board with an ESP32-P4 and 4.3-inch touchscreen. It reads music from a USB drive exported from Rekordbox and supports MP3, WAV and FLAC files. The system can run two DJ decks at the…
As automotive, AI/data center, networking and industrial systems quickly migrate toward 48V power architectures to improve efficiency and support higher power demands, designers need more than visibility into instantaneous voltage and current conditions. They need systems that understand energy use over time and can respond intelligently to changing power conditions. Microchip Technology (…
A maker has built and tested a DIY 2.4-GHz directional Wi-Fi antenna using a 3D-printed frame and simple brass rods, showing how antenna geometry can significantly change the performance of an ESP32 wireless link. The experiment uses two ESP32 boards, with one acting as a Wi-Fi transmitter powered by a power bank and the other connected to a computer as the receiver. The receiver measures RSSI…
Bengaluru-based fabless semiconductor startup Morphing Machines has unveiled MuDRA-1, its first taped-out chip, at SEMICON India 2026 in New Delhi. The event ran from 17 to 19 September at Yashobhoomi. The company, incubated at the Indian Institute of Science, describes the chip as a first-silicon milestone and says it was designed in India.
MuDRA-1 is a test chip for REDEFINE, the…
An open-source project called KryonOS is a GUI operating system for ESP32 microcontroller boards, built for use with a touch display and an SD card module. Built by a single developer who goes by Haris (GitHub handle Haris16-code) and released under the GPL-3.0 license, it adds a real touchscreen interface, a file explorer, and an app store to hardware that normally runs just one fixed program…
Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) today announced the launch of its PSOC™ Control C3 Performance Line microcontroller family to enable real-time control for power and motor applications. The new family of microcontrollers (MCUs) offers best-in-class performance through high control loop frequency, accuracy and system efficiency. Based on Arm® Cortex®-M33 multi-core…
Researchers led by R.Wang have developed a transformable aerial robot made from two small bicopters connected by a cable, allowing the system to change its shape and interact with objects without using a conventional robotic gripper. Each bicopter uses two brushless motors with tilting propellers, while the cable itself acts as the key mechanical component. One aircraft carries a motorized…
The project documents a fully automated smart mailbox built by Re-Crafting DIY. It integrates advanced electronics to solve practical issues like package theft, weather damage, and inadequate storage space. By repurposing an old car’s wiper motor for the door mechanism, the mailbox features a heavy-duty, motorized front door controlled by a central brain. It might have been a little too much…
A YouTube creator running the channel "traffic in the brain" has published a detailed walkthrough of building a small-scale AI accelerator from scratch on a budget FPGA board, recreating the core architectural ideas behind Google's Tensor Processing Unit (TPU).
The project, released September 17, 2026, implements a two-layer attention model, the same…
