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 ...

We’ve seen [Johan]’s AA-battery-sized Arduino/battery crossover before, but soon (we hope!) there will be a new version with more MIPS in the same unique form factor! The original Aarduino adhered to ...

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 ...

The Arduino based capacity tester of true battery power is capable of measuring almost any type of rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries by fully discharging the battery with known current and ...

Seeing this Toshiba motor drive, my first thought was ‘what a neat chip for pairing with an Arduino’ as it combines operation across 1.8 to 7V with up to 4A drive – so that is Li-ion batteries, 5V USB ...

The true measurement of a battery’s capacity is essential for many scenarios. A capacity measurement device can solve the problem of spotting fake batteries as well. Nowadays fake Lithium and NiMH ...

How long can you keep an Arduino circuit running on three AA batteries? With careful design, [educ8s] built a temperature sensor that lasts well over a year on a single charge of three 2250 mAH ...

One of the great things about the Arduino is that it’s totally open source so you can make your own variations on it. Case in point, DIYer Johan Kanflo’s AAduino, which comes in at the size of a AA ...

What do you do if even the smallest Arduino boards (or their clones) are too big for your homebrew project? If you're Johan Kanflo, you find a way to make them even smaller. His AAduino project turns ...
