Hi guys, over the past few tutorials, we have been discussing TFT displays, how to connect and use them in Arduino projects, especially the 1.8″ Colored TFT display. In a similar way, we will look at how to use the 1.44″ TFT Display (ILI9163C) with the Arduino. The ILI9163C based...

By Martin Fitzpatrick @ martinfitzpatrick.name show us how to build the micro display heart-rate monitor. Pulse sensors have become popular due to their use in health-monitors like the Fitbit. The sensors used are cheap, simple and pretty reliable at getting a reasonable indication of...

Sensirion, the expert in environmental sensing, now offers the ultra-lower power gas sensor SGPC3. The SGPC3 makes indoor air quality sensing available for mobile and battery-driven applications. With an average supply current of less than 0.07 mA the SGPC3 is able to provide indoor air...

8*16 LED matrix display with bluetooth low energy to connect to any smart phone. By Nitesh: This LED matrix is a heart shaped circuit which you can make/buy(from me) and gift to your valentine or crush and spread your love. It can be worn as a necklace or as a badge. It has got BLE so...

David Johnson-Davies published another great and detailed project based on ATtiny85. It's an harmonic function generator with an OLED display. This article describes a simple function generator based on an ATtiny85 which allows you to generate a virtually unlimited number of waveforms...

An SD card based standalone AVR Programmer is live on kickstarter and has 24 days to go. Here at proto-pic HQ we make kits, lots of kits, and that means lots of AVR programming. We found this a tedious task and wanted a solution to make the whole thing quick and easy. No more did we...

MoRFeus is a 30 MHz–6 GHz field-configurable Fractional-N wideband frequency converter and signal generator. Its LCD display and button interface enable dynamic field-level configuration - from switching between signal generator and other modes, to setting the local oscillator...

Simplify industrial-grade Linux® designs with SAMA5D2 MPU-based system on module (SOM) with Microchip's MC1409u. There is a great deal of design effort and complexity associated with creating an industrial-grade microprocessor (MPU)-based system. The ATSAMA5D27-SOM1, which contains...
