The creative adventures with ATtiny series microcontroller are awesome if you know how to play them. ATtinys — especially the ATtiny85s — are all around us, and by using one, we can shrink the size of ...

I have been delving (groping blindfold, more accurately) into the Arduino compiler adaptation code to try to determine how it handles the switch-over between its pwm activities, its set-I/O-to-output ...

“Arduino Self-Timer” project presented here is a low-component count 60 seconds countdown timer. It can be powered from a 9V compact battery or suitable Arduino AC mains adaptor. Working of the ...

As we work on projects we’re frequently upgrading our tools. That basic soldering iron gives way to one with temperature control. The introductory 3D printer yields to one faster and more capable. One ...

One of the great things about home automation is that it’s limitless. Whether you add more smart locks, toss some smart light bulbs into lamps, or add another smart thermostat to your home, it’s ...

I have been trying to work out how to use the the timers within 8bit AVR processors through the Arduino IDE, but in modes not covered by the IDE. Lots of people have put up code, often two or three ...

The hardware setup shown below includes the Arduino Uno R4, a DHT11 sensor, and the built-in Wi-Fi for email alerts. The DHT11 is connected with VCC to 5V, GND to ground, and the data pin to Digital ...

In a previous article, we looked at connecting various kinds of Arduino hardware to your Mac. Here's how to get started programming on them to create your own projects. In order to program your ...
