The Arduino platform runs on C++ and with this comes all the pros (and cons) of the language. One of those pros is the use of classes and in general, object oriented coding. This article aims to guide you in creating your own Arduino classes which can make your sketches …
Read More »Calculating Integrals with Arduino
The Arduino platform supports math functions like sine, cosine, logarithm, exponential, etc. But can it solve higher math problems like calculus? This two-part tutorial will show you how to make a sketch for Arduino integrals and differentials solver.

Pointers can be confusing to beginner Arduino programmers. This tutorial aims to help you understand the concept of pointers by looking at software and hardware points of view.
Read More »Arduino Programming: Structs
Structs (short for structure) are far less common in Arduino programming because they are mostly used in C whereas Arduino is based on C++. However, they are still a very useful tool especially if there is a need for a user-defined data set. This tutorial aims to help you understand …

Most customers like to compare all products and services before they make a purchase. Often, this is done to ensure that the customer is comfortable with the product or service and that they have developed a full desire for the item. It is no different when choosing a mobile phone …
Read More »The Difference Between Integrated Circuits and Chips
Integrated Circuit Integrated circuits are small electronic components or products. Electronic components have made significant progress toward downsizing, low power consumption, and intelligence by becoming a microstructure with essential circuit operations; all components are integrated. The circuit's necessary transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, and other parts are constructed on one or …

Temperature is a very common parameter in all of science and engineering. The behavior of electronic components drastically changes with temperature; storage of food and medicine relies on the correct temperature; getting the right metal type depends on how much heat is applied; fever means our body temperature goes beyond …
Read More »Importance of Plasma Etching in Electronics Technology
Electronic technology manufacturers use plasma etching to 'roughen' a surface on a tiny scale. The component's surface is typically etched using a reactive process gas, which has both a physical and chemical impact on the surface. The volatile gas species in the plasma produce the chemical etching action, which quickly …
