OPen Book: a fully open source e-book that supports all languages ​​and breaks down working principles (schematics, PCB, source code, etc.)

Open Book is an open hardware device for reading books in all languages ​​of the world. It includes a large screen and navigation buttons, as well as audio options for accessibility and ports to expand its functionality. Its fine screen printing aims to demystify Open Book's own design, breaking down for curious readers how the book works and how they can create one for themselves.

Tracer: ESP32-based wearable sports tracker

Have you ever thought about attaching an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to an object to track its posture and motion? Tracer provides high-performance, safe, reliable and low-cost object tracking. Tracer can be easily attached to objects using Velcro. It can tilt and track rhythm as the bike's frame tilts, it can record the number of shots taken with a tennis racquet, and it can even differentiate between topspin and chip shots. Let your imagination run wild and explore more interesting applications of Tracer!

snapVCC: 3.3/5 V ultra-efficient voltage regulator that mounts directly on your 9 V battery (schematic, PCB, etc. included)

snapVCC is a highly portable and convenient power supply for your electronics projects. It's designed to fit a 9V battery and provide you with 3.3V or 5V power wherever you need it. What can you do with snapVCC? Many circuits require a regulated 3.3 or 5 volt power supply. 9V batteries are an easily available power option. A common method of using a 9V battery to power a circuit is to use a linear regulator IC circuit to step down the voltage.

battery powered fluorescent lamp

Battery-operated fluorescent lighting projects often appeared in hobby electronic magazines in the 1980s. I always thought that fluorescent lamps were devices that only used AC power at that time. Those articles about using batteries to light miniature fluorescent lamps attracted me. I made some fluorescent lights, but I couldn't get good practical use out of them from a lamp efficiency and longevity perspective. That's because I was just reading the article and knew nothing about the theory of discharge lamps or even electronics. I don't know what to change to get good results, and I'm losing interest in it. However I found a battery powered fluorescent light project online that was identical to the schematic I was working on. So I "revived" the project after 30 years with modern driver circuits and correct theory.
