A small avrdude compatible AVR-ISP programmer based on the FTDI FT234X which only needs a standard micro USB cable. found many fairly big/bulky AVR-ISP programmers in the "middle" of cables (USB cable->programmer->cable->[adaptor->]6-pin connector) but I wanted something...

Connect your Arduino via WebUSB with an web application circuit simulator. by FreeGroup @ www..arduino.cc A awesome feature in Chrome is support for the WebUSB API, which allows web apps to communicate with USB devices, once user consent is given. This opens up a ton of cool...

 Mike Harrison has build what he claims the "world’s smallest” led blinky. Likely it is based on the CPH3225A supercapacitor giving the blinky a footprint of 3.2 x 2.5 mm. With that in hand he added a PIC 10f322 microcontroller in a SOT23 package, an 0603 smoothing capacitor, and...

Over the past few tutorials, we have mentioned several scenarios where using any of the Arduino board in a project may be an overkill due to the cost, size, and more technical reasons such as high power consumption. In the last tutorial, we discussed an alternative way of using...

Medical conditions, specifically hypertension and heart problems require at-home blood pressure monitoring devices, and if you have frequent high blood pressure, you may need to monitor your blood pressure constantly. The use of devices like blood pressure inflatable cuffs can be...
