Outside The Box A hardware tinkerer on Reddit has shared a simple but elegant mod that has the comments section roaring with approval. Rather than overclocking a CPU to new heights or installing a ...

This system uses a colour-changing LED (RGB LED/tri-colour LED) that switches to a new colour every 5 seconds. Simultaneously, the colour name is displayed on an OLED mini screen (SSD1306). This ...

For some, Halloween is starting to rival Christmas for setting up elaborate holiday decorations. Homeowners now spend many hours─and sometimes dollars─creating ghoulish displays of lit pumpkins, ...

Permanent magnet dc motors need a chunky inductor in series with them if they are fed from an SCR (thyristor) based mains power controller. It is (probably!) possible to safely interface an Arduino to ...

This library provides functions for Cytron Motor Drivers. Please refer to the examples on how to use the library. Connection to the motor driver is described in the comment section of the examples.

For years, there has been a clear distinction between the Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards. There are some things the Arduino can do that the Raspberry Pi can't, and vice versa. When you think of ...

Among all the Arduino boards, the Uno is most folks' go-to choice, and for good reason. It's the perfect platform to get started with Arduino, it's capable enough to handle a wide range of tasks, and ...

A Microchip Technology PIC microcontroller can be an accurate solution for calculating the timing of a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal due to its architecture. With this design, you can measure ...

The 16-channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Driver, PCA9685, is an ideal module for precise control of multiple PWM outputs that are commonly used to control servos, LEDs, and other devices in applications such ...
