There are many questions that can be asked for software projects, with most of these questions starting with ‘Why…?’. This is true for the challenge of proving that cascading stylesheets are Turing-complete, or that you don’t need all those fancy ISA bits of an ARM processors when you already got the LDM and STM commands in the 32-bit ISA. …

There is an episode of Ren and Stimpy with a big red “history eraser’ button that must not be pressed. Of course, who can resist the temptation of pressing the unpressable button? The same goes for development boards. If there is a button on there, you want to read it in your code, right? The Raspberry Pi …

There are many possible answers to the question of what the lowest-powered hardware on which Linux could run might be, but it’s usually a pre-requisite for a Linux-capable platform to have a memory management unit, or MMU. That’s not the whole story though, because there are microcontroller-focused variants of the kernel which don’t require an …
Narrative Arduino is truly remarkable; I have a deep fondness for it. It can be likened to the “Lego” of the electronics and automation world. Presently, I’m engrossed in a project where numerous MCU boards are orchestrated to form an interconnected network of processors, aptly named NetP. These boards establish communication via the i2c bus. …

[Phil Barrett] designed a new CNC controller breakout board called the PicoCNC which uses the Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 module and grblHAL. It packs a bunch of features typical of these controllers, and if you use the Pico W, you get WiFi connectivity along with USB. And if you don’t want connectivity, you can execute G-code directly …

The objective of the DSP Shield project is to enhance the accessibility of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) concepts and applications, particularly by introducing DSP as a teaching tool for signal education at the undergraduate level or even earlier. The project aims to bridge the gap between DSP being predominantly practiced at the graduate level and …
When you think of an MMU — a memory management unit — you probably think of a modern 32-bit computer. But [Jeff Truck] has a surprise. His new RCA 1802 computer has bank switching, allowing the plucky little processor to address 256K of RAM. This isn’t just the usual bank-switching design, either. The machine has several unique …
