[Allan Schwartz] decided to document his experience using Fritzing to design, fabricate, and test a custom Arduino shield PCB, and his step-by-step documentation makes the workflow very clear. Anyone ...

Last time, we used a light sensor to measure the ambient brightness with an Arduino. When the light hitting the light sensor ...

Engineers create something out of nothing, and no where is this more apparent than in the creation of customized computer hardware. To make a simple MIDI controller, you need knowledge of firmware ...

The Arduino has long been a staple of the maker community. Longer than 3D printing has been as popular as it is, in fact. So, with both being mainstream, I decided to marry the two together to make my ...

Last time, we learned about the anode and cathode of an LED, how to distinguish their orientation, and the role of a resistor in limiting current.This time, we will combine an Arduino, a breadboard, ...

Two new development kits that require Arduino programming skills could make it easier for the do-it-yourself set to build electronics and wearable devices. The LittleBits Arduino at Heart starter kit ...

If you are interested in learning how to solder and code you may be interested in the launch of a new electronics kit in the form of the Arduino Make Your UNO Kit ...

I'm a fan of Lego robotics. I've written over half a dozen books on the Lego Mindstorms NXT robotic system, and tinkering and prototyping with the NXT just never gets old. (And there's a NEW system ...

Arduino just dropped its most ambitious hardware in years, and on paper, it's irresistible. The UNO Q, and its bigger sibling the VENTUNO Q, are dual-brain boards that pair a full Linux-capable ...
