The main board is shown on the right, both top and bottom. It sports the ATmega328p ... but i skipped the whole arduino part and went straight to USBasp and plain AVR-GCC.

One of the limitations of the small 8 bit microcontrollers like the Atmel ATMega family adopted by the Arduino board, is the reduced number of I/O ports. Among the main advantages of these ...

Nice method and analysis. The temp sensor 3 pin devices are simple and cheap but good for 0.5 deg C precision or nearly a full degree in human measure.

Part 1 – Reverse engineering and hardware design. This is the first post of the “PONF” series. I am the CTO on the PONF (Photography On Film) Project. This project is the first dual back camera: ...

The Arduino platform lies somewhere between Technic Lego and the low level geek world of circuit building. It consists of two parts; the hardware and the software, and with these you can build ...

Learning to build a robot arm will teach you how to breadboard a circuit, how to program your Arduino, and how to work with moving parts. In the end, you’ll have a real, physical thing that does ...

Roomba it ain't, but if you're either pressed for cash or have a tinkerer's itch, then you'd probably be more comfortable building your own robotic butler, er, vacuum cleaner.

Arduino kits are great for teaching students about science, technology, engineering, and math. The Interaction Design Institute in Turin, Italy, created Arduino in 2005 to provide people of all ...
