Arduino’s Nano line will soon welcome four new products. They’re all small boards like the classic one, making Nano a family of small boards meant for compact projects. All the new boards boast low energy consumption and processors more powerful than what the classic has. Even better, they’re all pretty affordable: the most basic entry called Nano Every,
Arduino’s new Nano board family is more powerful and affordable Continue Reading
The team initially tried to build open-source hardware for IoT, now it is launching it on the blockchain instead. The firm plans to launch a tiny board that can connect to a blockchain. The equipment will also control electronic components like motors, sensors, and switches. This technology will make it possible for users to build

While building an ultra-low power application, sensitive hardware and software validation is required to reach system and long battery life. Testing will need an interaction with the tested parts, like simulating input pins of the target application. These difficulties could be solved with ARM’s new debug adapter “ULINKplus“. It connects the target system with the PC

MIDI has been around for nearly forty years, but what do you do if you have an old ‘toy’ keyboard without MIDI? Or really any way to make it sound good? You could turn it into a player piano, and that’s exactly what [Alessandro] did with an old toy keyboard. It’s The Pianist Octopus, and it
The LimeSDR Mini development board is a hardware platform for developing and prototyping high-performance and logic-intensive digital and RF designs that use Altera’s MAX 10 FPGA and Lime Microsystems’ LMS7002M RF transceiver. LimeSDR vs LimeSDR Mini The LimeSDR and LimeSDR Mini are members of the same family of software-defined radios. One does not replace the
For those of us who remember LED calculators, the HP 5082-7400 series red “bubble” displays hold a special charm. Available in 3, 4, or 5-digit varieties, these multiplexed 7-segment displays provided countless hours of entertainment to those who would spell upside-down words on their pocket calculators. In case you happen to be lucky enough to

So the pi zero is cool, retro gaming is cool, im really not cool, but i thought ‘what the hell!!’ Im not overly fond of ‘rats nest’ wires, and i have a bit of an obsession with making things as small as possible, so this is what i came up with. tis just an ili9341
Adafruit Circuit Playground Express Soil Sensor Mini Kit is designed to measure the soil moisture content. This kit, available now from Mouser, is based on the Circuit Playground Express platform and delivers the measurement utilising a nail and alligator clip. As the moisture encompassing a nail in the plant pot rises, the board detects the
Soil sensor mini kit shows if plant needs watering Continue Reading
Microcontroller demo boards such as the Arduino UNO are ubiquitous on Hackaday as the brains of many a project which inevitably does something impressive or unusual. Sometime someone builds a particularly tiny demo board, or an impressively large one. In the case of the board featured here, the Arduino is a gorgeous labor of love
