You can read the state of a button using Arduino and a few lines of code. The actual state is shown in the Serial Monitor window as 0 or 1, 0 meaning the button is not pressed and 1 that the button is ...

If you're into robotics or electronics, you've likely come across Arduino—a small microcontroller that can control sensors and motors for nifty DIY projects. Like the Raspberry Pi, the Arduino is ...

After a youth spent playing with Amigas and getting into all sorts of trouble on the school computer network, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for hardware from the 80s and 90s. This extends ...

Two complementary concepts—automatic code generationand the inexpensive, open-source, single-boardmicrocontroller—have reinvigorated innovation inengineering practice and education. Automatic code ...

While building robotics projects, the importance of controllers and motors cannot be overstated. These components are the heart and soul of any robotic system, providing the necessary control and ...
