One of the biggest problems you could face in your current/next project, is when you’re out of free inputs to use. Sometimes you can save a lot of inputs using some tricks, and there’re really a lot of them. In this blog post we’re going to know how you can use many push buttons...

A project on hackster.io, made by Juan Esteban Paz demonstrates how you can design a digital logic circuit using PSoC from Cypress. All you need is a CY8CKIT-042 PSoC® 4 Pioneer Kit, buttons and LEDs. PSoC 4200 family from Cypress is an ARM-based Cortex-M0 MCU, combined with ...

Tinkerman @ tinkerman.cat tipped us with his latest project. It's a laundry notification system that will message you when it's finished. I often forget my wet clothing in the washer and after a day they really smell… so I thought about monitoring my washer and get a notification...

Here is a fun project, created from start to finish by Matthias Koch: In itself, this is no big deal. The generated pattern is a 16x16 expanded pixel image, and 640x480 displays are pretty basic by now - although they’re fine for presenting text-mode information and retro...

Scott Harden show us how to control the Bus Pirate with python and give us example code. After using the AVR-ISP mkII for years (actually the cheap eBay knock-offs) to program ATMEL AVR microcontrollers, today I gave the Bus Pirate a shot. Far more than just a microcontroller...

In this tutorial you will learn how to build a basic development board for Attiny2313 microcontrollers. Did you ever want to make your own development board with microcontroller and you didn´t know how .In this instructable I will show you how to make it.All you need is knowledge in...

Johan discuss about ISM/Wifi bridge using RFM69, code and schematics is available on github. The ESP8266 has taken the maker community by storm and the hype is well deserved. Before the ESP we had the HopeRF ISM radio RFM12 and its successor RFM69. So is the ESP8266 an RFM69...

by Guillermo Jaquenod @ edn.com Actual microcontrollers have powerful bidirectional I/O ports, and you can use different techniques to fully exploit such capabilities. Recent Design Ideas described the “Charlieplexing” method as an effective way to drive M=N×(N–1) LEDs using...
