Last year, my daughter and I had the opportunity to try out Littlebits – magnetic circuits that make it easy for kids to create a variety of simple projects – for a few weeks. She's been talking about ...

Arduino open source hardware was been used in an industrial controller design. Austrian firm Controllino has based its programmable logic controllers (PLCs) on Arduino modules. This is an example of ...

Making things with electronics is tough, but if you're just starting out, littleBits are an easy way to start experimenting with all kinds of projects. You can connect real world components to the ...

The FM receiver module is based on the TEA5767 [1, 2] chip. It is a well-known module that could be controlled via the I2C bus. It covers the FM frequency range from 76MHz to 108MHz. At the output, it ...

WiFi and Bluetooth were never meant to be the radios used by a billion Internet of Things hats, umbrellas, irrigation systems, or any other device that makes a worldwide network of things interesting.

This is a simple project. It uses an Android device to switch an LED driven by the Arduino. Connectivity is provided by the Bluetooth module inserted in the breadboard. But one look at the UI on the ...

Now there’s even more you can do with LEGOs, besides stacking them and plucking them out of the bottom of your feet. Microduino’s new generation of little stackable Arduino modules, mCookie, is both ...

Arduino shields are modular circuit boards that piggyback onto your Arduino to instill it with extra functionality. Want to connect your Arduino to the Internet and post to Twitter? There’s a shield ...

Arduino enthusiasts and beginners may be interested in a new add-on board designed for the Arduino Uno microcontroller featuring 10 of the most popular modules and sensors for the Arduino platform.

I became aware of the Arduino Project from occasional media reports and a presentation at Atlanta LinuxFest 2009. I was impressed with what the Arduino community was doing, but at that time, I saw no ...
