Arduino and others have produced quite a number of Arduino-compatible boards with small form factors, but most of them are not compatible with standard shields and other platform niceties. Instead, they end up being just breakout boards for the microcontroller. On the other hand of...

The 8 Channel Driver Arduino UNO Shield is designed to enable users to switch inductive loads for up to 800mA each channel and up to 24V DC with no heat-sink needed. It is ideal for such applications as driving 2x unipolar stepper motors, solenoids, relays, and small DC motors. It uses...

We have seen people make many simple reflow ovens, comprising of an old toaster oven, a Solid State Relay (SSR), a thermocouple, and a microcontroller to get it functioning. Hobbyists and makers have been converting old toaster ovens into PCB reflow machines in other to save money,...

Further strengthening the Arduino IoT ecosystem, Arduino last week announced the release of the Arduino IoT Cloud Remote app, which was designed to serve as a mobile companion for the Arduino IoT cloud. The Arduino IoT Cloud created an easy, fast, robust, and secure way for users to...

In May, Arduino released a guide on how you can create a UPDI programmer for under $10. Now Dlloydev has posted a guide on Github how to make an Arduino Nano HV UPDI programmer. The Nano HV UPDI programmer will enable you to use the additional configuration settings for the UPDI pin...

Robert Poser has posted his project on GitHub called PaperiNode, which is a flexible, low power, energy-harvesting, LoRa-enabled, electronic paper display. PaperiNode is ideal for the Paperino (an easy to use micro EPD breakout-board for the Photon or other Arduino-compatible...

While some may think the era of the Arduino Clones is over, the reverse is the case as more designers are, on a daily basis, releasing a different open-source version of boards that addresses one shortcoming or the other in the Original Arduino board. Sometimes, these reasons behind the...

Arduino has announced a new set of boards to the Ardunino Nano family. The boards were on display last weekend at Maker Faire Bay Area in San Mateo at the Arduino booth. Banzi also delivered a talk on “The State of Arduino” at the Faire’s Center Stage. The new family of Arduino...
