Music and Electronics end up beautifully when they are perfectly combined: if you are looking for a way to synchronize RGB LEDs to music, then you have a new tool in your hands. After releasing a detailed DIY report on how to create a music visualizer with an Arduino Uno and a Sparkfun...

I'm quite passionate about air quality monitoring, so whenever I see an interesting air quality monitoring project that could help people stay healthy, while also serving as a good way to learn DIY electronics, I'm always eager to share.  Thus, for today's tutorial, I will chronicle the...

CircuitPython is a branch of MicroPhython designed to simplify education and experimentation on low-cost microcontrollers to make it easy to prototype without any upfront desktop software downloads. With CircuitPython, you can write clean and simple Python code to control your hardware...

Piconomix, the South-Africa based Embedded systems development company, has launched a campaign on Crowdsupply for a new board called; PX-Hero. The PX-Her0 is a low-power ARM Cortex MO+ based development board that was developed for use in embedded education applications. The board comes...

A while back, I noticed an ESP32 based Camera board called the ESP32-CAM on LCSC.com, and planned on getting one to play with but didn't get the chance until recently when I saw a tutorial by Rui Santos based on the board. I feel its a nice board and today's tutorial will focus on...

The latest offering from Teensy, Teensy 4.0 is the fastest microcontroller available today which is powered by ARM Cortex-M7 processor at 600MHz, with an NXP iMXRT1062 chip. Teensy 4.0 has the same dimensions (35 x 18 mm) of Teensy 3.2 and maintains compatibility with most of the pin...

David Johnson-Davies writes about his experiments with interfacing a low-cost serial GPS module directly to uLisp, to create projects such as a GPS clock. He writes: I’ll also describe a GPS speedometer and odometer, and a simple navigator, in later posts. The module I used is the...

Thanks to their tiny size and improved capabilities, the ATtiny-0-Series of microcontrollers have been a delight for designers and DIYers looking for a microcontroller with the ease of use associated with the Arduino boards, but with a way smaller form factor associated with ATtiny...
