In case you missed it, the big news is that a minimal Arduino core is up and working on the ESP32. There’s still lots left to do, but the core functionality — GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, and WiFi — are all ...

One part that I find myself using somewhat regularly in microcontroller-based experiments is the “USB power bank” that provides USB-standard 5-V DC output and offers some basic protection features.

MATLAB, short for Matrix Laboratory, is a high-level programming language and software environment developed by MathWorks. It excels in numerical computation, data analysis, and algorithm development.

The concept of Continuous Integration (CI) is a powerful tool in software development, and it’s not every day we get a look at how someone integrated automated hardware testing into their system.

Arduino has become one of the key building blocks of the open hardware movement. Arduino, the platform, is designed to be modular, affordable, and easy for virtually anyone to use. The company behind ...

Most of the technology world is familiar with open source software and the reasons why, in some eyes, it’s more appealing than proprietary software. When software’s source code is available for anyone ...

Technically, an open-source ecosystem is “open” in that anyone may contribute to and draw upon the work of an entire community of developers. Interestingly, open source has come to mean that the doors ...

The MLT-BT05 is a readily available, inexpensive Bluetooth 4.0 module based on the Texas Instruments CC2541 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) system-on-chip (SoC), sold by various Chinese suppliers and ...

Arduino is a microcontroller designed for real-time hardware control with very low power use. Raspberry Pi is a full computer that runs operating systems and handles complex tasks. Arduino excels at ...

Hopefully you’re here because you’ve heard about this new-fangled “Arduino” thing, and you’d like to know more. Maybe you know your way around a soldering iron, maybe you want to relive your glory ...
