As we work on projects we’re frequently upgrading our tools. That basic soldering iron gives way to one with temperature control. The introductory 3D printer yields to one faster and more capable. One ...

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 ...

Two complementary concepts—automatic code generationand the inexpensive, open-source, single-boardmicrocontroller—have reinvigorated innovation inengineering practice and education. Automatic code ...

This archive contains a code library and application programming interface (API) for controlling the InnoSwitch3-Pro IC using an Arduino microcontroller. It includes C++ and header files to support ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. If you have an interest in electronics and have been hanging around DIY tech forums for a while now, chances are you already know what an ...

For the past few years or so, Microsoft has been embracing open-source software. Open-sourcing PowerShell, MSBuild, and its artificial intelligence framework CNTK are just a few examples of the ...

Developers are using AI tools like ChatGPT to quickly generate C++ code for reading and logging data from sensors such as DHT22, BME280, and photodiodes. By combining AI-assisted coding with ...

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.

ArduSat is an Arduino-powered satellite being funded through kickstarter to foster open satellite access and the collection of data from sensors in space. It will be able to run code for up to a week ...

Innovation in engineering practice and education has been reinvigorated by two complementary concepts: automatic code generation and the inexpensive, open-source, single-board microcontroller.
