Introduction to Energy Harvesting in IoT… Why???
Autonomous sensor nodes are the key element for spreading IoT technology and are becoming increasingly popular. The global market is expected to grow annually up to 25.4% in the 2021–2028 period, from 381.30 billion dollars in 2021 to 1854.76 billion dollars in 2028 [1]. Considering the large number of different communication protocols that can be adapted to every case, the next big challenge in the autonomous sensor nodes field is the battery life.
Photodiodes vs. Solar Cells? Differences and Similarities
Can a Photodiode be used as a Solar Cell? What is the real difference between Solar Panel and Photodiodes?
Indoor Characterization of Solar Cell IXYS KXOB25-05X3F
Lab measurements and graphs of the new generation of solar cells of IXYS (KXOB25-05X3F) intended for energy harvesting and low-power applications.
Specsmanship: Do manufacturers manipulate the specs of their components?
How trustworthy are the component specifications? Can I rely blindly on datasheets? How well is a device characterized by the manufacturer?
Lighting 7 Bowls with colour Effect based on FFT algorithm, microphone and Arduino
In this small Arduino side project, I explain how I made to create the effect of lighting 7 bowls detecting the sound frequency of each bowl with a microphone and using different colours to illuminate it.
