Chapter 1, page 11 This code is basic but allows the reader to gain insight into key elements for several other projects in this book. It combines two pieces of code that are listed in the examples ...

The infrared remote control might not hold the seat of honor in the average home theater setup that it once enjoyed, but it’s not quite out to pasture yet. After all, what are you going to use to stop ...

This is a simple arduino project for a soil moisture sensor that will light up a LED at a certain moisture level. It uses Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller board. Two wires placed in the soil pot ...

I’m not a fan of educational toys. They’re usually either too educational or too toy-like and, in the end, kids get little education and little fun. The Code Kit from LittleBits has changed my mind.

The Arduino software environment, including the IDE, libraries, and general approach, are geared toward education. It’s meant as a way to introduce embedded development to newbies. This is a great ...

These days, 433-MHz RF transmitter/receiver modules are very popular with electronics hobbyists and tinkerers. These cheap short-range radio modules can be used with almost all microcontrollers for a ...

Arduino has unveiled a new low-code solution for product creators designing hardware for the internet of things (IoT). It also unveiled a new family of Portenta chips for a variety of hardware ...

Here's how I build my simplified 3D printed arduino animatronic eye mechanism. This is a good option if you'd like to try out some DIY arduino robotics but don't necessarily have access to certain ...

Ten years ago, Elektor published a simple Arduino-based AM radio transmitter for streaming audio to vintage receivers. While ...
