Adafruit has announced a new entry in its Metro line of Arduino UNO form factor microcontroller development boards, and this time it’s playing host to a Raspberry Pi RP2040 dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ chip — and it’s called, unsurprisingly, the Adafruit Metro RP2040. “This is the RP2040 Metro Line, making all station stops at ‘Dual Cortex […]
With multi-segment displays, what you see available online is pretty much what you get. LEDs, LCDs, VFDs; if you want to keep your BOM at a reasonable price, you’ve pretty much got to settle for whatever some designer thinks looks good. And if the manufacturer’s aesthetic doesn’t match yours, it’s tough luck for you. Maybe

Most of us are familiar with the Arduino Uno, a starting place for electronics projects since 2010. But what if the Arduino Uno was released in 1980? You’d probably get something like [ElectroBoy]’s 8051-based Arduino Uno. The Arduino Uno-compatible board has an MCS-51 (often called 8051 instead) instead of the usual ATmega328P/ATmega168. Specifically, [ElectroBoy] uses the AT89S52.

The ESP32 has been a go-to microcontroller platform for a while now, thanks to its versatile capabilities, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and low power consumption. It’s ideal for a wide range of projects especially those revolving around IoT, partially because of all of the libraries and tools available for it now. The latest tool
Ever since the Raspberry Pi Pico was introduced in early 2021 we’ve seen the tiny Pi being used for an astonishing variety of applications. It has powered countless clocks, gadgets, games, and accessories for all kinds of computers old and new. [Michael Wessel] has recently added an interesting new application in the “old computer” category,

a simple 3 buttons on-off with pic12f629. it’s written with MikroC Step 1: The Code… start the code with ”int”———————————————————- int x0,x1,y0,y1,z0,z1; ////// with this the GPIO outputs could stay on or off void main() { GPIO = 0x00; ////// all outputs are 0 CMCON = 0x07; ////// Disable CMCON PORT TRISIO = 0b00111000; //////

There is a lot of buzz going around Arduino and the series of boards. One of the most used board from the Arduino series is the Arduino Uno. But what many people don’t notice is that there is a board similar to Arduino UNO but has many more features. That board is called Freescale K64F. In this
We have build car using many transmission technologies. But what about a WiFi Controlled Car? Actually speaking..Wifi is till now the most promising technology and engineers are using that tech to improve it more and more. This tech is most popular today and will remain for decades.Low power WiFi have also been developed.So let us
A few months back, I posted an Instructable on my Raspberry Pi movie player tucked into a VHS cassette. Since then, I have built several for friends and family, and have simplified the process. Using a Raspberry Pi v3, we no longer need a USB hub and no longer need to remove the GPIO. This tutorial requires
[Daniel Dakhno] kept ending up in a situation where the ability to read the status of, or control a few digital IO pins with minimal effort, would be terribly useful. Not wanting to keep compiling code, for such simple needs, they instead used a nRF51-based module as a physical interface and produced a general purpose
