More news: read all about the new AAduino Zero. News: the crowd sourcing campaign for the AAduino will start soon, sign up at CrowdSupply to be notified! The specs have been beefed with an STM32L0 cpu and the temperature sensor is now an industrial grade TMP102. Update: you can now order the AAduino PCB from DirtyPCBs.com and […]

I needed a Lux meter for testing flashlights. There are some good lux meters available in the $15-25 range, but shipping always takes a long time and I needed it now. That’s when I realized that I had an unused BH1750 light meter module laying around, which I bought some time ago but never used
There are but a few things better than (succesfully) programming and using your Arduino. Surely one of those things is using your ESP8266 as an Arduino with WiFi! In this instructable I will show you an EASY way to get the ESP8266 working as a web server AND accessing that server from anywhere (over the
espthernet It’s pronounced “e-s-peethernet” – a party trick, not a legitimate engineering solution. ESP8266 + I2S = Software-based 10-Base-T Ethernet Driver For a detailed overview of how this project works, please see the Hackaday article. For a rough idea of what’s going on, checkout the youtube video: Overall Discussion This is a relatively unreliable and

Ever wanted to control a cockroach on the cheap? Now you can! Things used in this project Story A few years ago I saw Backyard Brains’ smartphone controlled cockroach, and it just blew my mind! I tried to get my mom to let me buy it, but the mention of cockroaches convinced her otherwise. 🙂

Introducing: LoRaONE The one solution to connect all the things, all the time. What is it? LoRaONE is all you need to create your own IoT solution. An Arduino compatible board packed with features and sensors, making it the ideal solution for makers and creators that can’t wait to make the Internet of Things a
A pair of former engineers from Agilent (now Keysight) Technologies are working on an oscilloscope that will connect to an iOS device for its user interface. The Aeroscope, conceived by Alexander Lee and Jonathan Ward, looks like the kind of device that you’d use on home projects or in field locations. I recently spoke with
In a previous blog, Using MicroPython for real-time software development, I examined the idea behind using MicroPython for real-time embedded software. Now, let’s examine some of the core pieces that developers need to understand to get started using MicroPython. The first step a developer interested in MicroPython must take before diving into a real-time embedded

DETAILED DESCRIPTION This project is a simple linear bench power supply with adjustable voltage and current. It is meant to be a learning experience, putting ideas of circuit design, feedback, stability into practice building a complete practical power supply. I have intentionally avoided using a 3 terminal regulator or purpose built chip and instead implemented
