Although the widespread use of 3D printers has made things like linear bearings and leadscrews more common, you still can’t run down to your local big-box hardware store and get them. However, you can get drawer slides and any hobby shop can sell you some RC servos. That and an Arduino can make a simple and […]

Arguably the biggest advantage of the Arduino platform is its ease of use, especially when compared to what microcontroller development looked like before the introduction of the open source board and its associated software development environment. All you need to do is download the IDE for your platform, plug in your Arduino, and you can

This sketch is an Arduino program which acts as an simplified hardware I/O server using a simple readable message protocol. The intent is to provide an easily modified and extended real-time embedded hardware controller which can interface easily with a non-real-time client running on a laptop or Raspberry Pi. The following documentation was extracted from

Browsing through the recent projects on Hackaday.io, we’ve found this entry by [NanoCodeBug]: a single-PCB low-power trinket reviving the “pocket pet” concept while having some fun in the process! Some serious thought was put into making this device be as low-power as possible – with a gorgeous Sharp memory LCD and a low-power-friendly SAMD21, it can run

This sketch provides a pinball machine controller as an extended example of a real-time logic controller utilizing third-party hardware drivers. It is configured to use hardware in the PinballShield circuit board. This sketch assumes you have already installed several third-party Arduino libraries in your IDE as described in the section Arduino Libraries. All other sketch files

Note: this sketch is a work-in-progress and only partly tested. This multi-file sketch is provided to serve as a template for projects which combine responsive sensing and actuation with behavioral logic, implemented using a non-blocking event loop. The actual sketch does nothing specifically useful, but just exercises various sensors and actuators. This is in keeping
