I am still receiving many requests to post an Arduino Sound Machine project. I think now is the right time to prepare a primer for beginners. First, keep your expectations low, as I don’t have ...

When one thinks of audio processing, the mind doesn’t usually leap to an 8-bit micro. Despite this, if you’re looking for some glitchy fun, it’s more than possible, as [Amanda Ghassaei] demonstrates ...

Arduino is a network for open-source electronics focused on a technology that is easy to use. By giving a list of instructions to the microcontroller on the board, you can tell your board what to do.

Despite their similar sizes and affordable prices, microcontrollers and single-board computers have vastly different specifications and use cases. After all, MCUs are designed for circuitry, ...

In order to use the Arduino IDE - or, at the very least, in order to use it to actually achieve something - you're going to need some Arduino hardware, and there's plenty of choice. The most obvious ...

Microcontroller is a term you hear fairly often in the DIY landscape. Often confused with Single-Board Computers, MCUs like the Arduino series are integrated circuits designed for specific circuitry ...

I'm a fan of Lego robotics. I've written over half a dozen books on the Lego Mindstorms NXT robotic system, and tinkering and prototyping with the NXT just never gets old. (And there's a NEW system ...

To test our circuit out - and before we start writing a program of our own - we'll load the Blink example. Simply load the Arduino IDE and go to File -> Examples -> Digital -> Blink to see what a very ...
