Introduction to I²C and SPI protocols
byteparadigm.com has a nice introductory article on I2C and SPI protocols: Today, at the low end of the communication protocols, we find I²C (for ‘Inter-Integrated Circuit’, protocol) and SPI (for ‘Serial Peripheral Interface’). Both protocols are well-suited for...

Adding ADC to Microcontrollers without ADC
Scott @ swharden.com show us how to interface an analog signal to a microcontroller that doesn't have an ADC. I recently had the need to carefully measure a voltage with a microcontroller which lacks an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and I hacked together a quick and dirty method...

CO2, temperature and humidity monitor
An open source CO2 monitoring project from Roving Dynamics: The project described below uses a MH-Z16 or MH-Z19 CO2 sensor and a DHT-22 (or DHT-11 if less accuracy is required) to measure the Temperature and Humidity. It has a 4 line by 20 character LCD Display to show the current...
