STMicroelectronics has introduced two STM8* Nucleo development boards, letting the 8-bit world experience the ease of access and extensibility already proven with the STM32* Nucleo range. Leveraging the formula that has kickstarted countless STM32 embedded projects, the STM8 Nucleo...

David Johnson-Davies build a OLED display function plotter based on ATtiny85 microcontroller. He writes: This project describes a simple routine for plotting a function on a 128x64 I2C OLED graphics display. Unlike most Arduino graphics libraries this routine doesn't require a RAM...

A 1" by 1" 20msps Oscilloscope based on the PIC32MZ @ hackaday.io by "Mark Omo". He writes: This project is designed around a PIC32MZ EF processor. We use its internal ADCs in an interleaved mode in order to get the full 20Msps. We have found that in practice we are able to achieve...

RS Components is now stocking Microchip’s MPLAB Snap in-circuit debugger/programmer, for simple and quick debugging and programming of most Microchip PIC, AVR and SAM flash MCUs. [via] The MPLAB® Snap In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer allows affordable, fast and easy debugging and...

FRAMOS has been appointed as an approved supplier for the Sony’s Spresense product line of professional developer boards in the United States. [via] These boards are powered by Sony’s 6 core CXD5602 MCU, which are based on an ARM Cortex-M4F with 6 cores operating at up to...

This project describes a simple GPS module which you can interface to via I2C. It uses an ATtiny841. David Johnson-Davies writes: Incorporating GPS into a project is quite daunting. First you have to parse the NMEA sentences from the GPS module you're using, and then if you're doing...

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...

Chips4Makers have launched a campaign to fund their open silicon microcontroller with a Z80, MOS6502, and M68K cores. The Retro-uC allows to use of these legendary instruction sets for your to days electronics projects. Are you a maker that pines for the early years of personal...
