*At last giving "Wired Design" a valuable chance to totally geek out on opaque home-electronics jargon. *Uh, also the new board's great for drones and 3D-printers, so we ought to be seeing the first ...

The long-awaited Arduino Due just hit the market, replacing the 8-bit, 16MHz brain of the popular Uno microcontroller prototyping platform with a 32-bit, 84MHz processor, while augmenting inputs and ...

When it comes to electronic design, breadboarding a circuit is the fun part — the creative juices flow, parts come and go, jumpers build into a tangled mess, but it’s all worth it when the circuit ...

There seems to be no shortage of hobby boards available to program on these days. Most, like the popular Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards, started life as a tool to teach students about programming and ...

The release of the 1.0 Arduino platform in 2011 represented a milestone for Open Source Hardware: after six years of development, Arduino is declared mature and stable. Once this was achieved, the ...

The Arduino Due in the shops with a price tag of $49, is bound to give a boost to the platform. The Due, which means 2 in Italian and is pronounced "doo-eh", replaces the 8-bit, 16MHz Uno by a 32-bit, ...

I remember when building a computer used a batch of S100 boards. These were 8-bit machines that took up a rack and might even include a bunch of toggle switches and lights for programming. These days ...

An increasing number of vendors offer 32-bit microcontrollers based on ARM® Cortex®-M processors, and at the same time, there are also new development environments introduced for these microcontroller ...

Guitarists that also enjoy building electronic devices using the Arduino platform may be interested in a new Arduino guitar pedal shield aptly named the pedalSHIELD. pedalSHIELD is an open hardware, ...

If you are just about to purchase a new electric vehicle charging station, you might be interested to know that you can build your very own EV charger using a little Arduino hardware. A step-by-step ...
