Having had such quick success making a microcontroller project using an 8pin ATtiny85 and programming it with Arduino, I though I would try a more elaborate project, one that has been on the back ...

There are easy ways of getting more I/O pins for any project; shift registers, I2C expanders, or ADCs will give you plenty of pins for whatever project you have in mind. All these require extra ...

Arduino Micro has some extra leds that it is tricky to programme. Like almost all Arduinos, has a built-in led – the green one on the left in the photo. And it has a pair of yellow leds – called TX ...

Arduino enthusiasts looking for a development board that is Internet of Things ready and offers 12 functions including a WiFi plug, Clock , EEPROM, SD, buzzer, NRF24 plug, LCD, RGB led, rotary encoder ...

It’s probably not much of a stretch to say that many of us have taken on a project or two that were little more than thinly veiled excuses to add a new tool or piece of gear to our arsenal. There’s ...

The long-awaited Arduino Due just hit the market, replacing the 8-bit, 16MHz brain of the popular Uno microcontroller prototyping platform with a 32-bit, 84MHz processor, while augmenting inputs and ...

Shift-out: again? Yes, shift-out registers again, now daisy-chained! But let me write down a short foreword. As probably occurs for most of the subjects, especially those related to the Arduino board, ...
