Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi

Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi

The new Arduino GIGA is the most powerful microcontroller that Arduino has ever produced.

Today we will take a first look at this monster, which has the same form factor as the Arduino Mega.

Of course, we’ll test out some of the more unique features of this board as well.

Using ChatGPT to Write Code for Arduino and ESP32

Using ChatGPT to Write Code for Arduino and ESP32

ChatGPT is an amazing AI chatbot that can also generate code in just about any programming language!

Today we will see how to write both C++ and MicroPython code for Arduino and ESP32 using ChatGPT.

Put the power of an AI-assisted coder to work for you today!

Using the ESP32 DAC (and making a Fruity Instrument)

Using the ESP32 DAC (and making a Fruity Instrument)

Today, we will learn how to use the DAC, or Digital to Analog Converter, in the ESP32.

I’ll show you how to produce voltages and waveforms using the DAC and the Arduino IDE.

We will also make some oscilloscope “art” and even a “fruity” musical instrument!

Mecanum Wheel Robot Car with ESP-NOW Remote Control

Mecanum Wheel Robot Car with ESP-NOW Remote Control

Mecanum Wheels are unique wheels that allow you to propel a vehicle in any direction. Not just forward and backward, but sideways and diagonally as well.

Today, we will build a robot car that uses Mecanum Wheels. Our vehicle will also have a remote control with a joystick, a TFT display, and a rechargeable battery.

Designing and Building Linear DC Power Supplies

Designing and Building Linear DC Power Supplies

Linear DC Power supplies are no longer as common as switching supplies, but they are still a good choice for many applications.

Today we will learn how linear power supplies work, how they differ from switching power supplies, and how to use voltage regulator modules.

We will then construct a DC Power Supply suitable for use on the workbench.
