Colorful lights, when done right, can make your home look cool and futuristic. LED light strips have come a long way, which means you can ditch the year-round Christmas lights for something ...

As soon as you see a BreadShield in action, you realize how much time you could have saved over the years, and at three for $15, the price isn’t bad either. I receive an extraordinary number of emails ...

Before opening the Arduino software, wire up the Arduino according to the circuits page using the 8MHz minimalist breadboard circuit but with a 10k pull-up resistor on the reset pin (physical pin 1).

If you’ve got a party coming up and are looking to add a little bit of excitement, you might be interested in this recent project from [Gav Lewis]. The build is based on a commercially available party ...

The project utilizes an Atmel8 AVR as the heart of the board to create an Arduino compatible breadboard. The USB to serial communication board used in this project utilizes a FT232 USB breakout board.

Here’s a no-PCB Arduino that doesn’t obscure the DIP footprint of the AVR chip. It’s built on an ATmega88 chip, and includes a programming header, reset button, a couple of filtering caps, and an LED.
