What do you do, when you need a random number in your programming? The chances are that you reach for your environment’s function to do the job, usually something like rand() or similar. This returns ...

Working with graphics on microcontrollers has always meant focusing on making the most of limited resources. Particularly in the 8-bit era, all manner of tricks were used to get low-performance chips ...

The Arduino team has today released a new update to its Arduino library submissions workflow providing an easier and more transparent process. Libraries are one of the pillars of the Arduino ecosystem ...

Managing libraries for Arduino boards has traditionally been a time-consuming and error-prone process. Developers often had to manually search for, download, and configure libraries, which could be ...

Arduino, an open-source electronic platform for fast prototyping, helps electrical engineers prototype/design their projects, with the intention that they will turn into commercial products down the ...

If you're into robotics or electronics, you've likely come across Arduino—a small microcontroller that can control sensors and motors for nifty DIY projects. Like the Raspberry Pi, the Arduino is ...

Over 8 years ago I wrote an article about Arduino for Make: Magazine, later Adafruit manufactured Arduino’s in the USA for awhile when Arduino was 2 separate companies (we only worked with Arduino.cc) ...

When you think of Arduino projects, your mind likely goes straight to RFID door locks, weather sensors, or automated plant watering systems. While these are undeniably pretty cool projects, you might ...

How do you save data from an Arduino-based device to a memory card? Fortunately, a microSD card and SD card breakout board now make this an easy task. Below is a simple tutorial on how to capture data ...

Before I start talking about this really cool thing called Arduino (Italian for "good friend"), let me say a few things about the fascinating subject of physical computing. Physical computing has been ...
