Running a Raspberry Pi with solar power sounds easy. Of course, like most things, the details are what get you. About a year ago, [Bystroushaa] tried it without success. But the second time turned out to be the charm. Of course, success is a relative term. It does work, but there is concern that it won’t …
Texas Instruments LV14360 60V 3A Step-Down Regulator comes with an integrated high-side MOSFET. With a wide input range from 4.3V to 60V, the device is suitable for various applications from industrial to automotive for power conditioning from unregulated sources. The quiescent current of the regulator is 300µA in sleep mode, which is suitable for battery-powered systems. An ultra-low …

This is a DC-DC step-up converter based on LM2585-ADJ regulator manufactured by Texas Instruments. This IC was chosen for its simplicity of use, requiring minimal external components and for its ability to control the output voltage by defining the feedback resistors (R1,R2). NPN switching/power transistor is integrated inside the regulator and is able to withstand 3A maximum …

Okay, you’ve probably seen 20 different TS-100 hacks, for example, this, this and this but this improvement by Jan Henrik is on another level. For a soldering iron, the TS-100 seems to work quite well and its popularity, having only debuted 3 years ago, speaks volumes of this. It is relatively inexpensive, comes with temperature control, light-weight and portable, but a somewhat noticeable shortcoming …
