The 8051 was an 8-bit Harvard-architecture microcontroller first put out by Intel in 1980. They’ve since discontinued that line, but it lives on in the low-cost STC8 family of chips, which is ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Arduino is being acquired by Qualcomm subject to regulatory approval for an undisclosed sum. Qualcomm Arduino introduces a new UNO form factor board, the Arduino UNO Q, which features both a STM32 MCU ...

This is a modification of the popular AccelStepper library that runs the motors using timer interrupts instead of polling them in the main loop. This allows for more precise step timings and running ...

Arduino is popular for prototyping, particularly because it makes embedded software writing a matter of hours, if not minutes. So what remains is the PCBA design, which can be easily done by reverse ...

Programming this versatile microcontroller efficiently can significantly impact the success of your projects, whether you’re working on IoT applications, automation, or educational experiments. This ...

The following project is an update of Gary D. Patterson’s “Simplified CTC signals” in the July 1988 issue of MR. Bringing the project up to date was a large endeavour. The block control project now ...

In the realm of DIY electronics, the Arduino UNO has emerged as a versatile platform for a myriad of projects. One such innovative project is the creation of a low-cost thermal camera, as demonstrated ...

The Arduino Uno is a common microcontroller board that has become very popular among makers, hobbyists, and engineers. The Arduino Uno is based on the ATmega328P microcontroller and was developed by ...
