One of the limitations of the small 8 bit microcontrollers like the Atmel ATMega family adopted by the Arduino board, is the reduced number of I/O ports. Among the main advantages of these ...

As we discussed in my previous column, until a few weeks ago, the Arduino Uno microcontroller development board we’ve all grown to know and love was the R3 (“Revision 3”). This little rascal is ...

An awesome Arduino handheld game console has been created by Thingiverse member “serisman” was kindly published the required 3D printing files to the website enabling you to build your very own ...

The long-awaited Arduino Due just hit the market, replacing the 8-bit, 16MHz brain of the popular Uno microcontroller prototyping platform with a 32-bit, 84MHz processor, while augmenting inputs and ...

Following Maker Faire, we’ve had a few days to poke around with Digilent’s 32-bit Arduino-compatible chipKIT boards and compiler. We have some initial performance figures to report, along with ...

Not content with your new, 1.4-billion-transistor Ivy Bridge processor? Maybe it runs too hot, or lacks the polygon-pushing powers that you require? Well, I've got just the thing for you: How about ...
