Solarcell has some benefits over regular disposable batteries. It was designed to help you save some costs. Solarcell is powered by Lithium polymer (Li-Po) rechargeable batteries whose life cycle is about 10 years (1200 charge cycles). So imagine how many disposable batteries that you’d have used in those years (about 1200 disposable batteries). Li-Po batteries …
Now it’s here. Epishine’s ”light cell” can change how we power small electronics – a thin and flexible organic solar cell that can be integrated into sensors, consumer electronics, and other low power devices to reduce or eliminate the need of batteries. We are very proud to have taken the results from more than 25 …

Introduction We built 2 small cars which used Bluetooth Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) measurements to navigate towards a stationary base station. The cars and base station used a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 4.0 module to take the measurements and a PIC32MX250 microcontroller. The cars also used a 3 axis magnetometer as as compass in …

Nanotech Energy Inc. announced that beginning in the first quarter of 2021, the company will mass produce non-flammable, efficient, and fast-charging lithium-ion 18650 Batteries. These cell-type batteries are used in devices including, but not limited to, laptop computers, cordless power tools, safer electric vehicles, telecommunications, aerospace, and military applications. The Company has begun taking pre-orders. Nanotech has perfected …
Electric power tools changed the way most of us work around the house. Simple and quick, as no extension cords are needed. But they do come with some effort. I still have some power tools that are powered by old Ni-Cad or Ni-Mh batteries. They work great, but if they are not used on a …
Some time ago the tail light of my bike stopped working. When I opened it, there was a small PCB with some electronics and a LED in it. The problem was the push button switch that did not function. I could have replaced the switch but something about this design disturbed me. The point is …
(You can skip the paragraph)My sister has a Nikon D60 camera and is an active photographer. She had been begging for a remote control for the camera and this particular model doesn’t have the option of wired remote, which would have been easier to make myself. The original ML-L3 remote costs something around 40$ in …
This project describes the second part of the following two projects: A wireless doorbell transmitter as described in the Wireless Doorbell Transmitter Instructable. This Instructable also gives some introduction to these projects. A wireless doorbell receiver described in this Instructable. The wireless doorbell receiver will make a sound and will blink a LED 5 times after it …
To start with, I do not hate cats but I love birds. In my garden we have some open cages where birds can enter and leave as they please. They can find food and water there. Unfortunately sometimes a cat from the neighborhood enters my garden and I do not want it to catch any …
HiSilicon and Nowi’s continued collaboration has led to a 2nd generation Energy Autonomous NB-IoT platform optimised for ease-of-use and form factor. New Internet of Things applications are now possible, where physical size is limited and ‘Plug & Forget’ indefinite operation is required. HiSilicon (Shanghai) Ltd and Nowi Energy B.V. today showcased the 2nd generation of …
