Visit our booth at the TechBlick Berlin on 22-23 October 2025 Project overview Purpose The goal of this project was to prototype a circuit board that controls a line-following robot, using a simple design that could be used to teach electronics in a hands-on way. Design For the control board, we separated the ground traces and other signal traces on opposite sides of the FR1 board, with through-holes to mount key components like the 16-pin L293DNE motor driver. These through-holes also serve to accommodate other components such as LEDs, infrared proximity sensors, and motors, which could not be surface-mounted due to their size and functional requirements. Figure 1: Circuit design We divided the robot’s main body into small parts and printed them with a 3D printer. Desired outcome Once connected to pow...

Perovskite Connect 2025 Conference and Exhibition | ECC, Berlin, Germany | 22 & 23 OCT 2025 | Co-located with Future of Electronics RESHAPED Europe 2025 Perovskite Connect 2025 is set to be the industry’s premier event, with a world-class agenda, exhibition and networking opportunities.

Perovskite solar applications – utility solar is not the only game in town
The main application for perovskite materials today, and the one that attracts most of the attention, is of course solar energy generation. While many companies focus on solar panels for utility – gird purposes, many companies are looking for alternative applications – such as indoor solar, agrivoltaics, building- and vehicle-integrated panels and more. At Perovskite-Connect, we will explore all of these themes! Here we show some of our planned talks that will focus on perovskite solar applications.
At Perovskite Connect 2025, Microquanta , China-based leading perovskite solar panel developer, will discuss the commercial readiness of perovskite PVs for utility-grade solar, and will share lessons the company has learned through real-world deployment and industrial validation. Microquanta believ...
