An Arduino library for simple means of putting your Arduino into sleep modes in order to save power when you are not doing much, supports a variety of common microcontrollers used with Arduino... Deep and Dreamless Slumber (Forever Sleep) Sleeping forever is the simplest type of sleep...

The quest for making low cost printed circuit boards is one that will always keep on going and it is not going to stop here. Customers, engineers, makers, are looking for low cost printed circuit board manufacturers for their PCB needs but also a reliable one as well. It is a task to...

UART has become a popular term with microcontroller applications, with the rise of the Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other open hardware electronics. UART has become a standard for microcontrollers to communicate with each other and exchange data. A UART can be used not just for data...

The Tachyon is a new lightning-fast open-source Arduino Zero-compatible board developed by Rabid Prototypes, currently on Kickstarter for funding. It features a 32-bit ARM M4F processor running at 120MHz and contains 128K of RAM. The Tachyon's pinout is nearly identical to both...

A few weeks ago Open Electronics announced their new “Fishino Piranha” board. It is one of the first boards to imitate the Arduino MKR. The Fishino Piranha follows with the release of their Uno-inspired “Fishino 32” board, which was released at the start of last year. The...

By GreatScottLab @ instructables.com In this project I will show you how I combined an Arduino Nano, a current sensor, an LCD, a rotary encoder and a couple of other complementary components in order to create an adjustable constant load. It features a constant current and power mode...

Have you ever wondered how Arduino looks like under an X-Ray machine? Here is a photo revealing the insides of Arduino UNO....

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...
