What just happened? Raspberry Pi has just released a new module designed to simplify the development of turnkey wireless hardware solutions. While the single-board computer company has long offered ...

A few years ago, the default answer to almost any “tiny computer” project was a full single-board computer running Linux. That made sense, because you got drivers, packages, a real filesystem, and ...

When a Raspberry Pi is overkill.

A simple AVR microcontroller based circuit that can detect when you touch a metal probe connected to one of the mcu inputs. A simple AVR microcontroller based circuit that can detect when you touch a ...

Integrating processors, sensors, and data exchange functionality into everyday objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) pushes computing capabilities far beyond desktops and servers, weaving computation ...

A good, reliable and easy to use dc power supply is probably the most important thing for every electronics hobbyists. Since a proper electronically stabilized power supply is crucial for almost all ...

On a typical microcontroller project we may only have access to a relatively tiny screen. Information display can be a challenge, but it’s one that may be made easier by [0xPIT]’s ESParklines library ...

I am in the process of updating my book "Electronics Explained," published by Newnes/Elsevier. The book is essentially a basic electronics text for those learning about electronics for the first time.
