From the Build Your Own Microcontroller Projects site – a very handy and comprehensive collection of electronic DIY projects – comes the electronic distance meter. With summer upon us, many ...

Matrix keyboards are commonas an input device in microcontroller-based projects. A conventionalway of connecting a matrix keyboardto a microcontroller is to use multipleI/O pins of the MCU. The MCU ...

Security Alarm Circuit Description As stated, this project describes a home security alarm based on a Passive Infra-Red sensor module (PIR1). There are many vendors that manufacture the PIR sensor ...

In the world of microcontroller-based projects, Grove connectors have garnered a name for themselves for simplifying the process of connecting other modules to the board.

Here at Hackaday, we see microcontroller based projects in all states of completion. Sometimes it makes the most sense to design systems from the ground up, and other times when simplicity or a ...

Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, a tiny board designed around a microcontroller that lets you build hardware projects at scale. Raspberry Pi is once again using the RP2350, its own well-documented ...

It never fails — we post a somewhat simple project using a microcontroller and someone points out that it could have been accomplished better with a 555 timer or discrete transistors or even … ...

The Arduino Due is backwards compatible with all your current Arduino sketches, but the added power should be enough to supercharge any upcoming projects you're working on.

These microcontroller-based systems display IIoT and edge computing capabilities ideal for industrial automation. For example, the Arduino-based Portenta Machine Control PLC, with its array of digital ...

Raspberry Pi has released a new radio module, and industrial players navigating the complexities of wireless connectivity should take note. The UK-based foundation is now selling its ...
