In this article we look at the open-smart NFC shield, this is basically a MFRC522 based RFID Reader Module which has been added to a basic shield.

In this article we look at the best multimeters that you can buy - in our opinion The features that I look for and prioritize are as follows, not all multimeters have these Auto range: this saves playing about with different settings and auto selects the correct one - very handy for resistance and voltage Data hold: saves the reading for you and stores it Continuity checking: this will beep if it detects continuity, handy for checking for those short circuits I also look for the quality of the test leads, are there any add…

A key part of your electronics kit is a good soldering iron, I've wasted money on cheap useless soldering irons but eventually I found a good temperature adjustable, lcd display with plenty of different tips available brand.

In this article we show another 16 kits that are ideal for beginners Voice-activated melody light A fun little kit where the LEDs flash based on music/sounds. Cost about $1.60 Voice control LED melody light Doorbell DIY Kit Only $0.59 for a 555 timer based doorbell kit. It needs 4 to 7v. The speaker is rated at 8 Ohm 0.25W so it has a reasonable volume for the job in hand. NE555 Doorbell DIY Kit Multi-channel Waveform Generator kit This NE555 multi-channel waveform generator can produce square wave, sawtooth wave, triangular…

Back in the day when I was staring out I used to make up a variety of electronic circuits on breadboards and even designed my own PCBs, the would be logic circuits, power supplies and 555 timer circuits. Nowadays you can buy complete kits with the PCBs and all required components for very low prices. These are ideal for beginners and also kids for learning, even for someone more experienced like me I still find them fun to make. I have purposely chosen kits with no SMT components, lets get started Digital Watch Electronic…

In this article we are going to show you the 10 Most Useful Arduino Shields. This is our opinion based on the many shields that we have tried and tested.If you are new to the arduino platform then you will quickly realise that shields are a quick, easy and usually low cost way to easily add functionality to your arduino. Rather than building circuits on breadboards or designing prototyping boards you can simply attach a shield and get the functionality

In this article we look at 10 sensors and modules that you can use with an Arduino and various other micro controllers and development boards like the ESP32, ESP8266 and the Raspberry Pi that cost under $2

The ESP32 is a series of low-cost, low-power system on a chip microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth. In this article we look at a few options that you can buy and develop with this tremendous microcontroller.

THE MQ-3 is suitable for detecting Alcohol, Benzine, CH4, Hexane, LPG, CO. The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted by using the potentiometer.
