The LCDduino board enables users to create many applications/projects that require a 16x2 LCD display and Arduino. The board has the exact size of 16x2 LCD and can be installed on the backside of the LCD. This is a low-cost solution that has onboard Arduino + LCD so no extra Arduino...

The project presented here is a two-channel infrared remote ON/OFF switch that can be used to control home appliances, Lights, Fans, Water Pumps, Aquarium pumps, Ovens, Heaters, etc. This open-source project contains 2 x SSR (Solid State Relay), Arduino Nano, and TSOP1838 infrared...

After we saw the launch of the Raspberry Pi 4 from the Raspberry Pi Foundation back in 2019, we are pleased to announce that the company has not rested on their oars as they have created their own microcontroller board called Raspberry Pi Pico, designed for not only the educationist or...

If you ever worked with a GPS location module in close proximity with the hardware, you might have an idea about the direction we are taking today, as you had to deal with NMEA strings. NMEA 2000 (or NMEA2K or even N2K) is something among those lines but emphasizes a bit more on the...

Today, we woke up to some very interesting news. The Raspberry Pi foundation is finally taking their first steps in Arduino territory! Well, not quite, as they are more working together than rivaling each other. After both companies dominate the maker market with their widely popular,...

Edge computing has many great advantages. When you take some resource-heavy work from servers and let your less capable but still slightly powerful microcontrollers, you end up freeing server resources. Also, depending on what you are doing, you can get away with not using a server at...

Eta Compute’s ECM3532 AI Sensor board is a low-power AI development platform with advanced sensors, compatible with sound classification, keyword spotting, activity classification, context awareness, and defect detection. It has an embedded Cortex-M3 microcontroller that functions up...

There are  a lot of different LCD display interfaces depending on the requirements of resolutions, speed, cost, stability etc.  The following outlines the common ones on the market: Parallel vs Serial Interface Parallel interface could transmit many data bits at the same time...
