Shift-out: again? Yes, shift-out registers again, now daisy-chained! But let me write down a short foreword. As probably occurs for most of the subjects, especially those related to the Arduino board, ...

A Raspberry Pi Zero Shield that will connect a Zero or Zero W module to a 3.3V or 5V compatible Arduino board, is available from US-based Burgessworld Custom Electronics. The two boards are connected ...

In a previous article, we looked at connecting various kinds of Arduino hardware to your Mac. Here's how to get started programming on them to create your own projects. In order to program your ...

My daughter likes buttons. She's learning letters. I was bored over winter break and had these parts laying around... so I built her a "Button Box" based around an Arduino. Open source, hackable, and ...

Developers, hobbyists, Arduino or Raspberry Pi enthusiasts looking to combine both Raspberry Pi and Arduino systems in the same project may be interested in a new shield for Arduino created by ...

Before I start talking about this really cool thing called Arduino (Italian for "good friend"), let me say a few things about the fascinating subject of physical computing. Physical computing has been ...

Arduino Micro has some extra leds that it is tricky to programme. Like almost all Arduinos, has a built-in led – the green one on the left in the photo. And it has a pair of yellow leds – called TX ...
