We’re surprised we haven’t seen this kind of clock before, or maybe we have, but forgot about it in the dark filing cabinets of our minds. The above picture of [danjhamer’s] Matrix Clock doesn’t quite ...

The Arduino is a cheap electronics board that allows you to make your own electronics without a ton of coding experience. We love the Arduino, but like any electronics project, coming up with ideas ...

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.

The project illustrates an old Arduino USB board being hacked by finding the right pins and stringing a capacitor between the serial connector and the reset line. One side of the capacitor connects to ...

Developers, makers and electronic enthusiasts searching for a small Arduino development board may be interested in the aptly named Atto. A small affordable USB development board designed specifically ...

Arduino has announced the new UNO R4 board family for prototyping and learning. The new models feature a faster microcontroller, a USB-C connector, improved power, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE, and more.

Every maker needs a geeky wall clock and the geekiest way to get one is to build your own. With so many modular and open-source options, building your own decorative clock is far from the most ...

If you fancy programming and controlling your very own Arduino robot you might be interested in a series of introductory videos which have been created by RS Components. The series of videos about the ...

To test our circuit out - and before we start writing a program of our own - we'll load the Blink example. Simply load the Arduino IDE and go to File -> Examples -> Digital -> Blink to see what a very ...

Remember back in the early-to-mid 2000s when pretty much every cheap USB keyboard you could find started including an abundance of media keys in its layout? Nowadays, especially if you have a ...
