Since you lacked the USB interface in your own Arduino board, it becomes necessary to use a homemade/ready-made USB to Serial Converter Module as an efficient and economical solution. Inexpensive and ...

When it comes to learning about microcontrollers, everyone has to start somewhere. [Lady Ada] recently posted a tutorial on burning the Arduino bootloader to standalone chips for those just getting ...

[Alexsoulis] needed to burn the Arduino bootloader to a slew of ATmega328 chips. Instead of sitting there and plugged the chips into a programmer one at a time, he build a robotic microcontroller ...

In this article, I'll be explaining the basics of how microcontrollers work, physically and virtually. First off, microcontrollers are no simple thing, so don't be discouraged if you find it ...

It has been announced this week that Texas Instruments ARM based chips will be arriving on the Arduino platform via a new Arduino Tre development board, providing Arduino developers with a choice ...

Arduino enthusiasts, developers and hobbyists may be interested in six new Arduino compatible boards that will soon be available to purchase from the Crowd Supply website. The Arduino compatible ...

The project illustrates an old Arduino USB board being hacked by finding the right pins and stringing a capacitor between the serial connector and the reset line. One side of the capacitor connects to ...

In order to use the Arduino IDE - or, at the very least, in order to use it to actually achieve something - you're going to need some Arduino hardware, and there's plenty of choice. The most obvious ...

MKR Vidor 4000 is the first-ever Arduino board featuring an FPGA chip – an Intel/Altera MAX10 – plus an ARm Cortex-M0+ based MCU (SAMD21) and U-blox Nina W102-00B Wi-Fi connectivity. Also on-board is ...

Following on from the release of its VM800P development platforms, which facilitate more advanced human machine interface (HMI) implementation using its Embedded Video Engine (EVE) technology, FTDI ...
