Diving into the world of DIY electronics can be quite daunting and overwhelming. There's the matter of picking the right components to use, learning the hand tools, and understanding the software.

Arduino’s Plug and Make Kit lets beginners, hobbyists, and do-it-yourselfers build an IoT smart device and interact with it. At its core is the UNO R4 WiFi main board, which employs a Renesas RA4M1 ...

We will refer to these article collections as “Breadboards,” “Tools,” and “Components” for short. We’re assuming that we are in possession of a full-size breadboard and associated wires (Components, ...

In what follows, we will refer to these collections as “Breadboards,” “Tools,” and “Components” for short. For example, when working with semiconductors such as transistors, diodes (including ...

I'm happy to flag this one, a new volume of the Arduino Project Handbook. Volume 2 sees twenty-five more beginner-friendly electronics projects, revolving around the Atmel AVR-based Arduino Uno board.

Many beginners have a notion that programming an Arduino makes them embedded engineers. But real skills start much deeper.

We stopped by the Atmel booth at Maker Faire to gawk at the pre-production Arduino Zero boards they were showing off. [Bob] gave us a rundown of everything the new board offers, and it’s better than ...
