The Arduino development board has grown in popularity over the last few years and has spawned a myriad of interesting projects such as auto-lacing shoes, The EyeWriter 2.0, and the Mobile Dance Stage.

One part that I find myself using somewhat regularly in microcontroller-based experiments is the “USB power bank” that provides USB-standard 5-V DC output and offers some basic protection features.

The popularity of the Arduino as a development platform has meant that it finds use in some pretty amazing projects across the globe - and here's a small selection to get you thinking about what you ...

We’re surprised we haven’t seen this kind of clock before, or maybe we have, but forgot about it in the dark filing cabinets of our minds. The above picture of [danjhamer’s] Matrix Clock doesn’t quite ...

So you finally decided to hop on the Arduino bandwagon and start making electronic projects as a fun hobby. As a beginner getting started with Arduino, your first instinct is typically to buy a ...

Developers, makers and electronic enthusiasts searching for a small Arduino development board may be interested in the aptly named Atto. A small affordable USB development board designed specifically ...

It’s been a while since we’ve seen some new boards that combine an FPGA and an Arduino, so naturally the state of the art is a little bit behind. The latest from [Jack Gassett], the Papilio Duo, aims ...

To test our circuit out - and before we start writing a program of our own - we'll load the Blink example. Simply load the Arduino IDE and go to File -> Examples -> Digital -> Blink to see what a very ...
