Apart from understanding the Arduino's code language, one of the most confusing parts about the platform — especially for beginners — is picking the right board to use in a project. Sure, it isn't ...

A few days ago, we saw a dev time trial between the Arduino and Phidgets, a somewhat proprietary dev board that is many times more expensive than an Arduino. The time trial was a simple experiment to ...

Is developing on an Arduino too slow? Are Phidgets too expensive? When might you use one or the other? Hackaday regular [Ken] breaks down what he learned from three experimental time trials. The main ...

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 ...

Open source hardware just keeps getting better and better. With open source taking over the low-end, closed-source players jump into the game to try to hold onto the entry market and then open-source ...

There is no doubt it is now easier than ever to build a computer and computer-based devices, especially with the emergence of do-it-yourself microcomputers such as Raspberry Pi, Pine A64 and Arduino.

You can do multiple things with a Single Board Computer (SBC). There are plenty of DIY projects that can keep you busy for weeks. A single-board computer contains all the things a computer needs to ...
