With this article I kick off my series on the Arduino Esplora board. Today’s project is a nice (and cheap!) little digital picture frame that uses the Esplora’s TFT Screen add-on. Materials Needed In this section you will find the materials that you need to obtain to build this project. Arduino Esplora Board The Arduino […]

Crafting straightforward electronic games becomes effortless with the Arduino. Within the scope of this chapter, I will demonstrate the possibility of constructing an interactive mini casino game using fundamental digital electronic circuits within a mere two-hour timeframe. By leveraging just nine distinct electronic elements and an Arduino board, you’ll find it a breeze to assemble

Being able to capture sound, store it and play it over and over again never fails to leave me in awe of its pioneers, from Thomas Edison to Alan Blumlein, the British electrical engineer who, in 1931, invented ‘binaural recording’ – what we now call ‘stereo’. (Never heard of him? Blumlein amassed 128 patents in

Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) are fundamental in modern electronics, playing a crucial role in translating analog signals into digital data that digital systems can process. This conversion is essential across a variety of fields, including medical technology, consumer electronics, industrial automation, and automotive systems. By enabling the integration of real-world analog signals with digital

How to use an Arduino to read the signal from a set of digital callipers and send the reading over USB. Why? This might be useful for accurate position sensing in home made / hacked computer aided manufacture systems. Adds USB functionality to your callipers. A great reference on reading digital callipers can be found

The project described here is a digital implementation of “book cricket game” which Indian students normally use to play in their childhood time. The heart of the project is 8 bit MCU from AVR family called ATtiny85. ATtiny85 are small and cheap microcontrollers which are convenient for running simple programs with low footprint. The software

This example shows you how to monitor the state of a switch by establishing serial communication between your Arduino and your computer over USB. Hardware Required Arduino Board A momentary switch, button, or toggle switch 10k ohm resistor breadboard hook-up wire Circuit image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page Connect three wires to

This is partially me sharing this technique, and partially me learning how to use Instructables. If there are issues with my documentation of the technique or my use of Instructables, please let me know in the comments – thanks! I needed a long row of switches in a pinch, and didn’t have nearly enough switches

Digital design refers to creating digital circuits. Digital circuits are in basically everything today and range from something as simple as a circuit that turns an LED on when a button is pressed to the complex processor in the device you are reading this on. Traditionally, these circuits are built by making ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) out
