[Scott] was driving in the pouring rain behind a car with its blinkers on when inspiration struck. He had previously created a simple communications system using his sound card that allowed him to ...

Here we designed a simple non contact tachometer using microcontroller which can measure speed with an accuracy of 1 rev/sec. Here we design a simple non-contact tachometer using microcontroller, ...

This idea describes an MCU interface for a 1-Wire temperature sensor interface that offers high accuracy while using less board space. The circuit can be modified for use with any 1-Wire device. The ...

Sometimes it’s nice when you can do everything you need to do with just one single port. In this vein, [Nicola Strappazzon] ...

Recently, I wanted to build a Sleepy-LED Eye as an add-on indicator for a small personal project. My idea is a near-replica of the iconic breathing pattern used for the “sleep” indicator in Apple ...

It's safe to say that BITalino isn't your average DIY electronics board. For starters, the sensors that spring from the main unit (which comprises the microcontroller, Bluetooth module and power unit) ...

What just happened? Raspberry Pi has just released a new module designed to simplify the development of turnkey wireless hardware solutions. While the single-board computer company has long offered ...

In its introductory blog post, the company explains that today’s Raspberry Pis are already often used alongside a smaller microcontroller: The Raspberry Pi takes care of heavyweight computation, ...

In safety-critical applications, trouble-free operation is enormously important, especially for microcontrollers. By law or in companies from the automotive, health or production industry, there are ...

An Arduino is one of the cheapest ways to built your own electronics prototypes and projects, but the Arduino Uno isn't exactly the most powerful device on the planet. If you're looking for something ...
