Interfacing Electronic Circuits to Arduino In this tutorial, I show how to link an Arduino to an ARINC 429 transceiver as an illustration of interfacing an Arduino with circuits, so you can use these methods for your projects. The ARINC 429 bus is commonly utilized for computer to computer communications on aircraft. The ARINC 429

Arduino is an easy-to-learn prototyping platform that lets you create interactive electronic projects. This Arduino compatible kit is the one I recommend to people who ask me how to get started. The reason I recommend it is because it’s very cheap and it has a bunch of components that would cost a lot more if you were
Excellent starter kit for people interested in learning about Arduino Continue Reading
Late of last year, PCBWay, a leading manufacturer in PCB and PCBA, announced the first of it’s kind PCB design contest in close partnership with SpainLabs (Well-known Spanish electronic forum) with amazing prices and even cash prices was offered to some of the best PCB and Product design from several competitors which all ended up in

When you connect a microcontroller to a sensor, display, or other module, do you ever think about how the two devices talk to each other? What exactly are they saying? How are they able to understand each other? Communication between electronic devices is like communication between humans. Both sides need to speak the same language. In electronics, these languages are

A team of researchers with members from the University of California and Rice University has found a way to get a flat transistor to defy theoretical limitations on Field Effect Transistors (FETs). In their paper published in the journal Nature, the team describes their work and why they believe it could lead to consumer devices
