This project offers a simple and cost-effective way of loading software onto a Commodore 64 or Commodore Vic-20 retro-computer. It consists of two main components, an Arduino microcontroller which ...

Some projects are both educational and useful. We believe that [Jasper’s] Arduino based electronic load is one of those project. [Jasper’s] electronic load can not only act as a constant current load, ...

Usually, I use the Serial Monitor of the Arduino IDE to communicate with the Arduino hardware. But now, I want to build an application on my computer that allows me to click some buttons to control ...

Having a big block of hot to dump current into is a very useful thing to have if you’re testing batteries, power supplies, high power LEDs, electroplating, or any thing else that would normally ...

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 ...

There are many ways to do this, but on the Intel® Edison board, I found that the easiest way is using the /etc/init.d directory. If this is your first time using init.d for start-up scripts, you’re ...

Zach Houser has this week launched a new version of his Arduino Load Driver which provides a super simple way of controlling the loads with your Arduino development board. The version 2.0 of the ...

One part that I find myself using somewhat regularly in microcontroller-based experiments is the “USB power bank” that provides USB-standard 5-V DC output and offers some basic protection features.
