Introduction Over the past few tutorials, we have mentioned several scenarios where using any of the Arduino board in a project may be an overkill due to the cost, size, and more technical reasons such as high power consumption. In the last tutorial, we discussed an alternative way of...

As a new Linux user or even a window pro user, you will probably be familiar with the terminal or command prompt as known in windows. Those tools give user extra control when using a  pc, as you can perform actions faster, automate things and so much more as compared to using the...

Pico - tiny & powerful. More features and performance than an Arduino Uno in a tiny, quarter-sized board that's breadboard compatible. [via] The Pico is still the smallest Arduino development board on the planet, at 20.32x20.32mm. It’s breadboard compatible, and offers roughly...

Introduction 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...

Over the past few tutorials, we explored several ways to further reduce the power consumption for Arduino based projects so they can last for a long period of time running on the inexpensive AAA batteries. We have tried different approaches like the more recent tutorial on using...

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...

One of the downsides of using an Arduino board in projects is the fact that it comes with some other components which may not be needed after the code has been uploaded to the board. These peripherals consume a considerable amount of power which affects the overall power consumed by...
