Smarter Serial Communications with WiSer
Surely you’ve been there: you need to capture serial output from a microcontroller or other device, so you reach for a PL2303 or CP210x or FT232RL-based USB-to-TTL serial cable (if you can remember where you put the damn thing after you last used it!) and…realize you don’t have the drivers installed on the computer you […]
We Love This Tiny Radio Controlled Wall-E
Many of us fell absolutely in love with Wall-E, the main character of a movie by the same name that came out in 2008. This tiny bot was so full of emotion and so adorable, we all wanted one in our lives. The youtube channel ProfessorBoots has put together this tiny version of Wall-E and […]
Arduino Day 2023 Is Coming This Weekend
The folks at Arduino have decided to shake things up a bit this year by moving Arduino Day to March 25th and doing an in person event! There will be both virtual sessions and a bunch of in-person events, the main one being at mHub Chicago with tours and talks. The crew at Arduino is […]

This Sun Tracking CNC Machine Uses The Sun Instead of a Laser
We’ve all seen people goof around with a magnifying glass in the sun, but this project takes it to a new level. Cranktown City has uploaded this fantastically amusing project that is sure to impress. He built a cnc controlled engraving machine that uses the sun instead of a laser tube. As he explains in […]

Arduino Announces The Uno Mini Limited Edition
What an incredible journey the Arduino concept has been. Remember when we proclaimed that The Arduino is Here To Stay after they sold 10 thousand units? Well, now they’ve sold over 10 million, and they want to celebrate. They are announcing the Arduino Uno Mini Limited Edition. A pint sized nod to the ubiquitous Arduino […]

Core Memory: Why We Used 60-Year-Old Tech in an Arduino Shield
About ten years ago, we designed and made an Arduino shield implementing “core memory,” a technology that was sixty years old even then. Our shield stored 32 individual 1s or 0s using magnetic fields going either clockwise or anticlockwise around 32 tiny doughnuts of magnetisable ‘ferrite’ material. This kind of memory, invented in the 1950s, […]

These Blobs Are Actually Clever Data Visualizations
I met John Kuiphoff a couple years ago and was blown away by some very clever data visualizations he shared based on people’s youtube channels. John’s back, and this time with another very creative approach to data visualization. In this project, John is wanting to display how much sunlight hits […]
