MiniQ is a mini quadcopter that is open source from hardware design to control algorithm. The algorithm used for the Altitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) is the DCM complementary filter. The system calculates the height and controls the output PWM of the four motors 1600 times per second. It can be controlled remotely via Bluetooth (Bluetooth Serial Port Profile).
This DIY LiPo super charger can charge a single LiPo battery and protect it from overvoltage, overload and short circuit. In addition, it can boost the battery voltage to 5 V or 12 V. The boosted output voltage is protected by an "eFuse" IC with a maximum output current of 1.52 A at 5 V and 0.76 A at 12 V. The charger part of the circuit requires a +5V power supply, which can be connected via USB-C, or simply solder two wires to pads on the PCB. Additionally, other connections can be soldered to pads on the PCB or use individual pin headers.
This is a low-cost isolation achieved through a power transformer. Since the transformer is more convenient for AC isolation, but DC is not suitable, ATtiny412 is specially used for control.
Supports data monitoring and PD packet injection on CC1 and CC2 lines, and voltage and current detection on VBUS and VCONN.

The CircuitSetup Split Single Phase Energy Meter is an affordable, accurate remote energy monitoring device for your entire home. It monitors energy usage in real time, independent of power company meters, and can be easily connected to any wireless microcontroller (such as ESP8266 or ESP32) to transmit energy data to programs such as EmonCMS. It can also be used to monitor solar systems to track the amount of electricity you generate from the sun. It uses a secure current transformer clamp to sample current - no AC wiring required.
It's common for computer users to bend over in front of a screen, which can eventually lead to back problems. There are various gadgets on the market that solve this problem by constantly reminding users to sit up straight, but most of them are not fun. So I made a fun little tool for this problem.
This project uses the 430 series MSP430F5310 microcontroller as the central processing unit to develop a new type of fault indicator to indicate phase-to-phase short circuit faults and single-phase ground faults that occur on transmission and distribution lines of 10KV and below. Its main working process is: sensing real-time voltage and current values from the high-voltage line, and sending them to the microcontroller for analysis and calculation after hardware processing. If the fault conditions are met, a flop signal is sent to cause the indicator to flop, and the action information is transmitted wirelessly. The communication module transmits the information to nearby communication substations.
makerPower Solar is a smart solar battery charger and 5 V power supply combination. It allows technology professionals and enthusiasts to take their embedded systems and IoT devices off the grid and run them anywhere. It can operate as a simple stand-alone power supply or as a peripheral capable of comprehensive reporting of power conditions. True Maximum Power Point (MPPT) algorithms extract every joule of energy from all solar conditions.
Despite the growing demand for larger battery cells, battery prices remain quite high, constituting the most expensive component in an EV or PHEV, with a typical price tag of around $10,000 for a battery that supports a range of a few hundred kilometers. The high cost can be mitigated by using lower-cost/refurbished battery cells, but such cells will also have greater capacity mismatches, which will reduce the available runtime or driving distance on a single charge. Even higher-cost, higher-quality battery cells will age and mismatch after repeated use. There are two ways to increase the capacity of a battery pack with mismatched cells: one is to use larger batteries from the beginning, which is not cost-effective; the other is to use active balancing, a new technology that can restore battery capacity in the battery pack and quickly increase power. Full series battery cells need balancing When each battery cell in the battery pack has the same state of charge (SoC), we say that the battery pack is balanced. SoC refers to the current remaining capacity of an individual battery relative to its maximum capacity as the battery is charged and discharged. For example, a 10Ah battery will automatically equalize the state of charge between parallel-connected battery cells over time as long as there is a conductive path between the battery cell terminals. It can also be argued that the state of charge of series-connected cells will vary over time for a variety of reasons. Temperature gradients across the pack, impedance, self-discharge rates, or differences in load between individual cells can cause gradual changes in SoC. While pack charge and discharge currents help to minimize these cell-to-cell differences, the cumulative mismatch will only increase unless the cells are periodically balanced. Compensating for gradual changes in cell SoC is the most fundamental reason to balance series-connected cells. Typically, passive or dissipative balancing schemes are sufficient to rebalance the SoC of cells with similar capacities in the pack.
