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 ...

Looking for a simple circuit to control the light intensity of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or similar lighting sources? Here is an Arduino based circuit with three independent pulse width modulated ...

An Arduino is by no means expensive, but that still doesn't mean that it suits your needs right out of the box. If you want to make your own custom board, Make shows you how in a three-part series.

Tired of building the same old Arduino projects like blinking LEDs, temperature monitors, and line-following robots? Now it’s ...

The rise of low-cost, hacker-friendly electronics is fueling a new wave of hardware hobbyists. Using programmable boards like the Arduino and dirt-chip computers like the Raspberry Pi, you can build ...

When it comes to electronic design, breadboarding a circuit is the fun part — the creative juices flow, parts come and go, jumpers build into a tangled mess, but it’s all worth it when the circuit ...

At The Conversation, we take table tennis very seriously. After setting up a new ping pong table, and wanting to learn how to use an Arduino, I had a bit of time to build a scoreboard. An Arduino is a ...

Diving into the world of DIY electronics can be quite daunting and overwhelming. There's the matter of picking the right components to use, learning the hand tools, and understanding the software.

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 ...
