A far more useful case is to provide a power supply for the microcontroller programmer, which has no wall wart. Today’s microcontrollers consume less current than their predecessors, so you can easily ...

Okay, I was thinking last night about a possible mod, and have some questions.My idea was to use an old VU meter or analog voltage meter as a processor usage meter to put on the front bezel of my ...

I have a bunch of Kenwood TK-2100 VHF radios that are re-programmable via the serial port. I have a DOS-based application that works with the radios, but is only reliable with computers with two ...

Simple serial communication between a Windows C++ application and an Arduino During a university project which used an Arduino and a C++ program, we had some issues establishing a quick and easy ...

This topic describes how to use My.Computer.Ports to receive strings from the computer's serial ports in Visual Basic. Determine which serial port should provide the strings. This example assumes it ...

The most common way of programming AVR microcontrollers is the In System Programming port. That little six-pin header with MOSIs and MISOs coming out of it will program every AVR you’ll ever ...

From there he wrote a RUBY program to monitor the CPU temperature and generate a PWM signal on the serial port, throttling the fan speed as needed. [CC Photo Credit: Garrette via Flickr] ...
