Both Arduino and MicroPython are giants when it comes to the electronics education area, and each one of them represents something you can’t pass up on as an educator. Arduino offers you a broad ecosystem of cheap hardware with a beginner-friendly IDE, helped by forum posts explaining every single problem that you could and will […]

The one thing that separates the pros on Twitch from the dilettantes is the production values. It’s all about the smooth transitions, and you’ll never catch the big names fiddling with dodgy software mid-stream. The key to achieving this is by having a streamdeck to help control your setup, like this straightforward design from [Electronoobs]. (Video, embedded

Developers, hobbyists, and Arduino enthusiasts be interested to know that MicroPython has officially become part of the Arduino ecosystem. The Arduino team has also created a new Arduino Lab for MicroPython, offering coders and makes a simple, cross-platform IDE for MicroPython that supports any board with a serial REPL interface so it can also work
MicroPython officially joins the Arduino ecosystem Continue Reading
If you are interested in building your very own RPN calculator you might be interested in a new project published to the Instructables website this week by member Shiura. Using a CNC machine, the calculator has been constructed using a wooden case together with acrylic screen protector, and a little Arduino hardware. Featuring an Arduino Nano microcontroller board and

The official Arduino development team have this week introduced their very first micro PLC with Industrial IoT capabilities in the form of Opta. Designed to provide users with a secure and easy-to-use micro PLC the Opta supports Arduino programming and optional PLC standard languages. Powered by a powerful STM32H747XI dual-core Cortex-M7 +M4 MCU the Opta enables “real-time control, monitoring
Arduino Pro Opta industrial IoT micro PLC launched Continue Reading
Even though some devices now use WiFi and Bluetooth, so much of our home entertainment equipment still relies on its own proprietary infrared remote control. By and large (when you can find them) they work fine, but what happens when they stop working? First port of call is to change the batteries, of course, but

If you are interested in learning how to solder and code you may be interested in the launch of a new electronics kit in the form of the Arduino Make Your UNO Kit. Created to enable you to build, code and solder your very own Arduino UNO Micro controller board by mounting every single component.
Arduino Make Your UNO Kit lets you build your own microcontroller from scratch Continue Reading
We’re used to seeing all manner of seven-segment displays, be they mechanical, electronic, or something in between. But what all these displays have in common is that they’re, you know, displays. Using them as inputs would just be crazy talk, right? Perhaps, but we like where [Dave Ehnebuske] is going with “InSlide,” the seven-segment input device.
THE SEVEN-SEGMENT DISPLAY THAT’S ALSO AN INPUT DEVICE Continue Reading
How many of us have an everyday tool that’s truly unique? Likely not many of us; take a look around your desk and turn out your pockets, but more often than not, what you’ll find is that everything you have is something that pretty much everyone else on the planet could have bought too. But

The PC turbo button and LED clock speed display were common features on early personal computers. Wanting to add a little retro chic to his modern battle-station, [Matthew Frost] assembled a charming and functional homage to the turbo button control panel. In days past, this automotive nomenclature implied a performance boost when activated. Instead, ‘turbo mode’
