An interactive list of features and reviews to help you pick the right microcontroller for your projects.
The Adafruit PyPortal makes it simple to take a touchscreen and connect it to the Internet. You can use it to stream whatever data you might like โ pictures of cats, a stock ticker, the number of “likes” on your last YouTube video, or whatever else. And you can use it to talk back: Poke […]
Thereโs no one thing about the RedBoard Artemis that jumps out as its killer feature. Itโs the whole package. New brain on a familiar body? Check. Competitive price, with bluetooth support as a bonus feature? Check. Stretches a battery? Check. A clear path to mass production for anything you prototype with the board? Check. Artemis […]
The original Raspberry Pi can take more credit than any other for getting cheap single board computers into the hands of makers, and itโs yet to be dethroned. Four generations and seven years running, โPiโ is shorthand for โan inexpensive computer you can build a project around.โ Pi landed in a big way. The company […]
Arduino makes a return to their breadboard-friendly Nano line with the cheap, basic, Arduino Nano Every. Countless makers have put together their first electronics with this boardโs larger cousin, the Arduino Uno, as the brains of their project. The Nano is a similar board: It will wire a few parts together, accept your programs to […]
Answer me this: Is your workshop magical? Does every tool have a second use? A third? Do things light up and draw the eye just because they can? No? Carry on. Nothing to see here. Ignore the rainbow glimmering. Still here? Good. Let me talk to the grandparents with sparkling eyes and impish grins. To […]
Adafruit has a knack. They have a knack for writing great getting-started guides for their boards. And they have a knack for turning out boards with so many inputs and outputs included, you often donโt even need to wire in additional components to make a project with one. The PyGamer takes that same approach, but […]
With the spread of Arduino and related hobby microcontrollers, weโve started to see a new kind of gadget emerging: the Hackable. Hackables are gadgets that do something right out of the box, but their microcontrollers are exposed for reprogramming, so if you want to tweak them โ or even rework them entirely โ you can […]
