In this article, I'll be explaining the basics of how microcontrollers work, physically and virtually. First off, microcontrollers are no simple thing, so don't be discouraged if you find it ...

Arduino’s brand-new Esplora microcontroller, packed with prebuilt sensors and features, could indicate a move for the DIY electronics company toward a wider segment of the microcontroller market.

With their cheap price tags, massive I/O provisions, and low power consumption, microcontrollers like the uber-popular ...

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 ...

The Raspberry Pi Pico is the new kid on the microcontroller block. How does it compare to the long-established Arduino Nano?

Arduino debuted its newest product, a single-board computer called the Uno Q, in conjunction with today’s acquisition ...

The Arduino 101 equipped with Intel's Curie module integrates a 6-axis gyro/accelerometer and Bluetooth, which sets it apart from the rest of the Arduino line up. What the heck is an Arduino? Simply ...

Shift-out: again? Yes, shift-out registers again, now daisy-chained! But let me write down a short foreword. As probably occurs for most of the subjects, especially those related to the Arduino board, ...

Lots of programs take data from a file and create an X-Y graph under Linux. Desktop applications like xplot, gnuplot or even PHPlot do a great job. But, what if you want to see how a physical process ...
