"Tau" is a new board in the world of embedded systems, designed by Rabid Prototypes.  It is powered by a 32-bit ARM core, but Tau's main strength is full compatibility with the well-known Arduino Zero,  yet in a very tiny package. What is the Tau? The Tau is an extremely...

Ed Mallon has details on his DIY ProMini data logger: Typical pro-mini loggers built with this design sleep at 0.25mA, before extra sensors are added. At that current draw, the logger should deliver approximately six months of operation on three brand new AA batteries with a 15min...

Developing a hardware project became much easier thanks to the growing number of the various sensors and actuators modules, which give you the ability to shift your ideas into a wider range of applications. This tutorial presents the steps of how to use OV7670 Camera Sensor Module STM32...

Hi! Today I'll explain you how to recover your bricked ATtiny microcontroller using your Arduino board. ATtinys are very popular due to their small form factor yet very powerful. While working with them you may accidentally brick the ATtiny. As arduino is extremely popular and really...

The electronics engineer and microcontroller programmer expert, Masih Vahida has launched his latest SoundDuino Arduino shield product: SoundDuino 3! SoundDuino is a WAV Sound Player & Recorder Shield for Arduino. This sound shield let you record and play sound files to or from a...

Programmable thermostats are cool things. They let you set the room temperature according to your schedule and will automatically make those adjustments for you. If you use them the way they’re intended to, they could be a great way to save on home energy costs. They work perfectly...

Inspired by an interest in spreading the concepts of FPGA, and because its ability to overcome most of other platforms limitations such as IO, memory, and peripherals, technolomaniac had worked on developing the first Arduino FPGA shield. A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is...

rik @ riktronics.wordpress.com show us how to program AVR microcontrollers using an Arduino board. Advanced hobbyists like me (and you, of course 😉) love to play with microcontroller. And the most famous microcontrollers for beginners are AVR series from Atmel™.  Almost...
