Before I start talking about this really cool thing called Arduino (Italian for "good friend"), let me say a few things about the fascinating subject of physical computing. Physical computing has been ...

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 ...

The circuit is driven by a MAX7219 IC that is being controlled through an Arduino microcontroller board, to create an 8X8 LED matrix. The connection of the LED matrix and the IC was done on a ...

The Arduino Esplora is a ready-to-use, easy-to-hold controller that lets you explore the infinite possibilities you have in the world of Arduino, without having to deal with breadboards or soldering.

There’s one big problem with the Arduino development environment, also known as an IDE: There’s no network hookup to directly share and browse code you’re writing for these little microcontrollers. It ...

The official Arduino IDE is a dour piece of software designed for uploading code to the ubiquitous and super-cool micro controller. It is a standalone, non-networked app that isn’t very pretty to look ...
