The purpose of this small scale LED marquee is to display messages to our classroom in a more modern and centralized way. In the classroom, this construction would save white board space and is convenient because it can store a large amount of information. It is also fairly simple to program and has a mount, […]
Today I’m going to present some of more advanced capabilities of ADC built in ATSAM3X8E – the heart of Arduino Due. I like the Arduino platform. It makes using complex microcontrollers much simpler and faster. Lets take for example the analog-to-digital converter. To configure it even on Atmega328 (Arduino Uno/Duemilanove) you must understand and set

The Automation Board is 100% compatible with the Arduino Uno. This way it allows the enjoyment of all the easy programming and libraries that Arduino provides. It’s a strong and versatile board, with multiples resources to develop a fully automation system. The Automation Board dispenses the use of power sources. Thanks to a power source
First a thank you to my Team members Sean Halloran and Gvozden Suvajlo, they came up with this idea and executed it, this project would not be possible without their ideas and skills. The GPS tracking device is composed of a micro controller, GPS module, cell module, and batteries all housed in a 3D printed
As any beginner electronics hobbyist I have recently came to conclusion that using Arduino(or even Mega328) for small projects is neither cost-effective or educational (I’ll explain why later). Another reason for writing this article is that I came across few ATTiny13A-SSU chips @ less than $0.90 each, which is even lower the official retail price, so I just
If you previously worked(or currently working) with small 8-bit microcontrollers, like ATTiny or PIC12, you’ve probably encountered a fundamental problem of not having enough GPIO pins for your needs or project requirements. Upgrading to a larger MCU is only one of the options, but as usual there is an alternative. In this article I will
Getting more I/O pins on ATTiny with Shift Registers Continue Reading
Quite by accident I came across a long time ago on video in YouTube, which focuses on domestic production of PCBs. Personally, I am convinced that it is better to perform the PCB in a professional company – you know: aesthetics, double-sided layout, descriptions, solder mask, tin holes etc. But for small, home projects, not
Przedstawiam nowy moduł MOD-20.Z Xmega eXploreGO od Modułowo, z mikrokontrolerem ATXmega128A4U i dekoderem MP3 VS1003B. Moduł posiada dodatkową pamięć DataFlash oraz złącze karty microSD. Istnieje możliwość podłączenia modułu Bluetooth oraz dwukierunkowego modułu radiowego nRF24L01. Moduł można programować przez USB lub programować/debugować, korzystając ze złącza PDI, wyprowadzonego na brzeg płytki. Wszystkie sygnały z mikrokontrolera zostały wyprowadzone na zewnętrzne

Last year MediaInteractiveDesign and PlayModes , two interactive design and creative technology studios based in Catalonia, collaborated to develop a system to control DIY Laser robot. They created a new shield to control Dinamyxel servomotors to work with PWM laser drivers. The shield works using Arduino Ethernet programmed with a specific firmware to control laser and motor using
