The VL53L1X from STMicroelectronics uses a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) to emit an Infrared laser to time the reflection to the target. That means that you will be able to measure the distance to an object from 40mm to 4m away with millimeter resolution! To make it even easier to get your readings, all communication is enacted exclusively via I²C, utilizing our handy Qwiic system, so no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1”-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard. Each VL53L1X sensor features a precision to be 1mm with an accuracy around +/-5mm, and a minimum read distance of this sensor is 4cm. The field of view for this little breakout is fairly narrow at 15°-27° with a read rate of up to 50Hz. Make sure to power this board appropriately since it will need 2.6V-3.5V to operate. Lastly, please be sure to remove the protective sticker on the VL53L1X before use otherwise it will, most assuredly, throw off your readings. Features Operating Voltage: 2.6V-3.5V Power Consumption: 20 mW @10Hz Measurement Range: ~40mm to 4,000mm Resolution: +/-1mm Light Source: Class 1 940nm VCSEL 7-bit unshifted I²C Address: 0x29 Field of View: 15° - 27° Max Read Rate: 50Hz

EAGLE – the “Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor“ is a professional-grade CAD (computer aided design) software package for the design and drafting of electronic schematics as well as the design and fabrication of printed circuit boards (PCBs).
This Advanced User Guide provides the experienced EAGLE user with insight into using some of the more advanced features of EAGLE software. It is not a guide to teach the reader the basic concepts of EAGLE, nor does it discuss the ‘how to’ of the EAGLE interface and the simpler operations and commands of the software. That is the purpose of the author’s previous title EAGLE V6 Getting Started Guide also published by Elektor.
This eBook is intended as an enduring document covering the more advanced modules, commands, and functions which make up EAGLE. It is hoped that this eBook will provide a quick, succinct reference to assist with more complex applications and uses of EAGLE – an ‘EAGLE User’s Companion’, if you like.
Complementing the EAGLE Advanced User Guide, the EAGLE User Language manual is included in this eBook in unabridged form, reproduced with permission of CadSoft GmbH.
At the time of writing, the material in this eBook covers version 7 of the EAGLE software suite.
This book is all about building your own DIY home control system. It presents two innovative ways to assemble such a system: By recycling old PC hardware – possibly extending the life of an old PC, or by using Raspberry Pi. In both cases, the main system outlined in this book will consist of a computer platform, a wireless mains outlet, a controller and a USB webcam – All linked together by Linux.
By using the Raspberry Pi in conjunction with Arduino (used as an advanced I/O system board), it is possible to construct a small, compact, embedded control system offering enhanced capacity for USB integration, webcams, thermal monitoring and communication with the outside world.
The experience required to undertake the projects within this book are minimal exposure to PC hardware and software, the ability to surf the internet, burn a CD-ROM and assemble a small PCB.
This flash memory allows you to store and read data externally via the SPI interface of your microcontroller. The control of the module is exactly the same as with a conventional SD card and is therefore particularly simple. The module is especially suitable for mobile setups, where normal SD cards could slip out of the SD card slot.

This smart plinth lighting automatically switches on and off when you get up at night. The motion sensor sees you get out of bed and the light turns on! There is an illuminated path from bed to toilet. Obstacles on the way to the toilet are immediately visible and tripping hazards are prevented. Scientific research shows that the fear of falling is significantly reduced when using a Guide Light.
The LED lighting has a perfect light intensity. The light is subtle enough not to wake you up, but bright enough for a reliable orientation. The Guiding Light is much more than just a night light.
This FeatherWing will make it easy to add data logging to any Feather Board you might have. You get both an I²C real-time clock (PCF8523) with 32 KHz crystal and battery backup, and a microSD socket that connects to the SPI port pins (+ extra pin for CS). Note: FeatherWing doesn't come with a microSD card. A CR1220 coin cell is required to use the RTC battery-backup capabilities. If you're not using the RTC part of the FeatherWing, a battery is not required. To talk to the microSD card socket Arduino's default SD library is recommended. Some light soldering is required to attach the headers onto the Wing. Pinouts Power pins On the bottom row, the 3.3 V (second from left) and GND (fourth from left) pin are used to power the SD card and RTC (to take a load off the coin cell battery when main power is available) RTC & I²C Pins In the top right, SDA (rightmost) and SCL (to the left of SDA) are used to talk to the RTC chip.
SCL - I²C clock pin to connect to your microcontroller's I2C clock line. This pin has a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to 3.3 V
SDA - I²C data pin to connect to your microcontroller's I2C data line. This pin has a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to 3.3 V There's also a breakout for INT which is the output pin from the RTC. It can be used as an interrupt output or it could also be used to generate a square wave. Note that this pin is an open drain - you must enable the internal pull-up on whatever digital pin it is connected to. SD & SPI Pins Starting from the left you've got SPI Clock (SCK) - output from feather to wing SPI Master Out Slave In (MOSI) - output from feather to wing SPI Master In Slave Out (MISO) - input from wing to feather These pins are in the same location on every Feather. They are used for communicating with the SD card. When the SD card is not inserted, these pins are completely free. MISO is tri-stated whenever the SD CS (chip select) pin is pulled high
The LILYGO T-Panel S3 is a versatile development board designed for IoT applications, featuring a 4-inch IPS LCD with a 480x480 resolution.
Powered by the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, it offers 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 (LE) connectivity, with 16 MB of flash memory and 8 MB of PSRAM.
