Learn to use seven different DC motor drivers with an Arduino Uno.
We’ll see how to put these to use with motors of all sizes, and of course we have hookup diagrams and code samples!
Driving DC Motors with Microcontrollers
Measure Air Quality with Microcontrollers
Measure the quality of the air you are breathing using a variety of sensors, an Arduino and an ESP32.
In this article I’ll discuss air quality parameters and show you how to use several popular sensors to measure the gases and particulate matter in the air
Pico W with the Arduino IDE
Learn to program the new Raspberry Pi Pico without microPython. Use the Arduino IDE and C++ instead.
In this article, I’ll show you how to install a boards manager and use it to program the new Pico W. I’ll focus on its most important feature – WiFi!
Building a Dual-Boot Workstation
Get the best of both worlds by building a dual-boot workstation!
I’ll show you how to take a “bare-bones” workstation and install both Microsoft Windows 11 and Ubuntu Linux 22.04.
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.
Using GC9A01 Round LCD Modules
The GC9A01 is a circular LCD module that is ideal for instrumentation and other cool display applications.
In this article, we will learn how to use this display with an Arduino Uno and an ESP32.
Sound with ESP32 – I2S Protocol
The I2S protocol is not a misspelling of I2C, it is a protocol for controlling digital audio.
Today we will use the I2S protocol and some I2S peripherals with an ESP32. We’ll display microphone waveforms and build an MP3 player and an Internet Radio.
Using Arduino Interrupts – Hardware, Pin Change and Timer
If your project needs a responsive user interface or has precision timing requirements, then interrupts are the key to getting it to work smoothly.
Today we will learn how to use Hardware, Pin Change and Timer Interrupts with the Arduino Uno.Using the ESP32-CAM MicroSD Card
Learn how to use one of the ESP32-CAM board’s most neglected features – the MicroSD card. In this article, I’ll show you how to use the MicroSD card to store photos taken with the camera.
We will also build a motion-sensitive and a time-lapse camera using the ESP32-CAM.
LED Displays with Arduino
Learn how to use both 7-segment and dot-matrix LED displays with an Arduino.
We will be working with both single and multiple display units, in a variety of configurations.
LEDs are by no means dead, they are still a great choice for a number of applications. Add one to your next Arduino project.
