Adafruit has announced the launch of a new product today in the form of the VERTER power converter, which has been created to convert just about any battery pack to 5V for just $9.95 VERTER is ...

The Arduino board can be powered from a standard 9V battery pack, as usual. As you may well know, Arduino’s analog inputs can be used to measure DC voltage between 0 and 5V (when using the standard 5V ...

my first thought was ‘what a neat chip for pairing with an Arduino’ as it combines operation across 1.8 to 7V with up to 4A drive – so that is Li-ion batteries, 5V USB and 4xAA cells all covers, but ...
