[Andrew] wonders why the SerialUSB() function on the Cortex M3-based Arduino Due is so much faster than Serial() on the Uno or Nano, and shares his observations in this short video. He sets up an experiment with a simple sketch on both boards and uses Wireshark to evaluate the results. Data is sent in the USB packets in groups of […]

A quick video about this project. I have since implemented a way to set timezone. Thanks to the work of the Arduino and ESP8266 community, this cool clock is a surprisingly easy to build! Just two main components: Display (obviously) and a WiFi MicroController No soldering required No programming skill required, code is provided! Let’s

A friend of mine is a scientist who does experiments that are very sensitive to air temperature and humidity. The incubator room has a small ceramic heater but the heater’s thermostat was not nearly accurate enough, only able to maintain the temperature within 10-15 degrees. Commercial devices that log temperature and humidity can be quite

If you are looking for a tiny three-color E Ink display, the Wemos D1 Mini board can fit the bill perfectly, more so given that it comes for just $10 a pop. Developed by Lolin, the display is all of 2.13-inch having support for red, black, and white colors. Further, the display has a resolution of 214
2.13 inch tri-color E-Ink display for Wemos D1 Mini board is only $10 Continue Reading
Following on from the original successfully launched Inkplate, the Crowd Supply Inkplate 6PLUS Wi-Fi e-paper display campaign has now successfully passed its required pledge goal raising over $16,000 thanks to over 60 backers with still 20 days remaining. The newly updated Inkplate 6PLUS features wireless connectivity, a touchscreen and front lighting and is now available via

[FacelessTech] was recently charmed by one of our prized possessions as a kid — the Magic 8-Ball — and decided to have a go at making a digital version. Though there is no icosahedron or mysterious fluid inside, the end result is still without a doubt quite cool, especially for a project made on a whim
A DIGITAL MAGIC 8-BALL? SIGNS POINT TO YES Continue Reading
Welcome to my Instructables on how to build a RGB LED backlight for e.g. the back of your TV or desk. The Schematic itself is very simple since the WS2812 LED Strips are very easy to interface with e.g an Arduino Nano. Note: that you do not have to use the additional MSGEQ7 Audio Analyzer circuit if you only want the

I have always enjoyed the various acrylic laser-cut night lights that others have made. Thinking more about these I thought that it would be great if the night light could also double as a form of entertainment. With this is mind I decided to create jigsaw puzzle that would fit into a thin box that

Starting out in the world of electronics and robotics can be quite daunting at first. There are many things to learn at the beginning (circuit design, soldering, programming, choosing the right electronic components, etc) and when things go wrong there are many variables to keep track of (wrong wiring connections, damaged electronic components, or error
