I have been delving (groping blindfold, more accurately) into the Arduino compiler adaptation code to try to determine how it handles the switch-over between its pwm activities, its set-I/O-to-output ...

I have been trying to work out how to use the the timers within 8bit AVR processors through the Arduino IDE, but in modes not covered by the IDE. Lots of people have put up code, often two or three ...

Runner and Arduino enthusiast Nikodem Bartnik has created a DIY 100m sprint timer which is placed at the finish line and signals the start of timing via an audible bleep from its integrated speaker.

You can use a microcontroller to build a clock. After all, a clock is just something that counts the passage of time. The only problem is that microcontrollers can’t track time very accurately. They ...

There are many reasons to build your own Arduino circuit on a protoboard or a custom-designed printed circuit board. At the heart of the Arduino platform is an AVR microcontroller, in usual way you ...

Electronics designer Patrick Thomas Mitchell has returned once again to Kickstarter to launch his new Raspberry Pi and Arduino programmable timer aptly named the Ninja Counter. The programmable timer ...

Arduino 1.0 is finally out, after many years of revisions and changes to "clean up the Arduino environment and language, as well as adding lots of additional features." For those of you that need a ...
