Matthias Dankers build his own cigarette humidor controlled by Arduino. He writes: For the optimal storage of cigars you would want a box with a so called 'Caribbean' climate inside; warm and very humid. Translated in numbers that would be 21 degrees Celcius (70F) and 70% relative...

Cost and size, just to mention a few, makes using an Arduino board in certain projects an overkill, often times its always too big, or too expensive for the scope of the project especially when it’s a project that we need to make several units. One good way to retain the simplicity...

The Tachyon is a new lightning-fast open-source Arduino Zero-compatible board developed by Rabid Prototypes, currently on Kickstarter for funding. It features a 32-bit ARM M4F processor running at 120MHz and contains 128K of RAM. The Tachyon's pinout is nearly identical to both...

A few weeks ago Open Electronics announced their new “Fishino Piranha” board. It is one of the first boards to imitate the Arduino MKR. The Fishino Piranha follows with the release of their Uno-inspired “Fishino 32” board, which was released at the start of last year. The...

By GreatScottLab @ instructables.com In this project I will show you how I combined an Arduino Nano, a current sensor, an LCD, a rotary encoder and a couple of other complementary components in order to create an adjustable constant load. It features a constant current and power mode...

Have you ever wondered how Arduino looks like under an X-Ray machine? Here is a photo revealing the insides of Arduino UNO....

While building Arduino or any other microcontroller platform project over time the need will arise to establish communication between two of the Arduino boards or microcontrollers for data exchange and/or control. This communication could be achieved using either wired or wireless...

The Exen Mini was categorized as one of the world's smallest 32-bit Arduino compatible boards that was launched by Nerdonic, although the board was able to get the job done in some areas it still had limited capacity, it had only 8 I/O pins. Based on the success and limitations of the...
