Since you lacked the USB interface in your own Arduino board, it becomes necessary to use a homemade/ready-made USB to Serial Converter Module as an efficient and economical solution. Inexpensive and ...

Celebrating little victories means a nice cup of tea as I managed to transfer an Arduino programme into an AVR ATtiny85 microcontroller. Like the people in and surrounding Raspberry Pi, clever souls ...

As soon as we start getting familiar with the basics of Arduino, we start noticing some interesting components that are not commonly used on the Arduino. One of these things are the ICSP headers. They ...

We often see “logic analyzer” projects which are little more than microcontrollers reading data as fast as they can, sending it to a PC, and then plotting the results. Depending on how fast the ...

Over the last decade, the open-source movement has not only transformed the world of software, but also catalyzed a sweeping revolution in hardware tinkering. At the heart of this shift lies a ...

Microchip has created the most capable ‘ATtiny’ AVR microcontroller yet, with 32kword of internal flash and a host of analogue peripherals including two 10bit 115ksample/s ADCs (one of which can be ...

This attitude towards Arduino exists mainly out of ignorance. So let’s break down a few myths and preconceived biases that might still be lurking amongst some EEs and then talk about Arduino’s ability ...
