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.
Building a Dual-Boot Workstation
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.
ESP32 WiFiManager – Easy WiFi Provisioning
Stop hard-coding wifi credentials in your ESP32 and ESP8266 sketches – use WiFiManager instead!
This easy-to-use wifi provisioning library eliminates the need to hard-code wifi information, and makes your projects portable!
Learn how to use WiFiManager and how to easily adapt your existing sketches to eliminate hard-coding forever!
Water Your Garden with IoT
Learn to use soil moisture sensors, both resistive and capacitive.
After calibrating our sensors, we will use them to build two projects. One of them is a soil moisture meter, the other is an automated watering system that uses the Arduino IoT Cloud.
Safely using LiPo Batteries
LiPo batteries are incredible powerhouses, they have a higher power-to-weight ratio than any other type of battery.
But with all that power comes a number of safety concerns, and not following them could lead to a deadly LiPo fire.
Today we will learn how LiPo batteries work, how to charge, discharge, balance, store and dispose of them. And, just in case, we’ll see how to extinguish a LiPo fire.
