Electrical energy is no longer treated as an unlimited utility. Every watt consumed has a cost impact, an efficiency implication, and in many cases a safety consequence. A smart grid in IoT is not a ...

With the increasing demand for automation and remote operation, controlling electrical devices without the need for physical access has become an important area of development in modern engineering.

Some members of the maker community are distraught about Arduino’s new terms of service (ToS), saying that the added rules put the company’s open source DNA at ...

In a deal that surprised some industry observers, chipmaker Qualcomm has agreed to buy Arduino, which is best known for supplying microcontrollers to the DIY community. The acquisition, whose terms ...

Paul and David Bradt’s Ardiono Projects offers multiple ways to use Arduino and Raspberry Pi microcontrollers for your model railroading projects. Buy the book here. Code for Button/Blink Test (SN095) ...

Over the last decade, the open-source movement has not only transformed the world of software, but also catalyzed a sweeping revolution in hardware tinkering. At the heart of this shift lies a ...

Abstract: This work studied different digital embedded platforms which can be programmed using Arduino IDE software and which can be used for digital control and data acquisition applications.

The first name on the list is Autodesk Eagle, an engineer-friendly tool that boasts a vast library of resources. It offers a full suite of PCB layouts, schematic editing tools, and collaborative ...

When comparing the Raspberry Pi and Arduino, it's no secret that the Pi is undoubtedly the more powerful board. It is, after all, a single-board computer (SBC) that can run a fully functional ...

Arduino libraries, like libraries for other programming languages, help easily extend the range of functions available to users in the standard integrated development environment (IDE). They are ...

There are many ways to use an Arduino on a model railroad. These tiny, inexpensive, programmable computers can perform functions such as controlling signals, routing turnouts, and running animations.
