Curious about what’s been going on at Elektor recently, from the upcoming summer issue to real-world electronics with SDR and ESP32? Watch the video below, where Brian Tristam Williams is joined by our Senior Engineer Saad Imtiaz as well as Sebastian from Baltic Lab, known for his innovative RF and DIY electronics projects on YouTube. This edition of Elektor Lab Talk covers a wide range of practical electronics topics, from working with I²C to improving Wi-Fi range on ESP32 boards and much more, along with a preview of some of the projects that will appear in our Circuit Special issue in August.


On the embedded side, the video covers low-latency audio transmission using the nRF24 chip from Nordic Semiconductor together with audio modules from Digilent. There's also a quick look at Rust in embedded development, with a heads-up on an upcoming Elektor event for those looking to learn further. If you’re into SDR, you’ll be interested to hear about Sebastian’s techniques for receiving signals from the ISS and weather satellites.

The video flows through a variety of hands-on topics, from filtering techniques for RF and audio, to practical tips for reliable 3D printing and PCB prototyping. There’s also an interesting segment about audio and video, with stereo encoding on vinyl records and clever hacks for analog video circuits. As usual, this recent episode of Elektor Lab Talk is filled with practical tips and ideas, perhaps something will spark ideas for your next project! Watch the video below:
