How can you create sine, square or triangular waves with Arduino? Apparently, there’s a way with the help of an IC package -- the AD9833. With it, you can now create waveforms for communications, instrumentation, or other similar projects. My tutorial on building your own Arduino AD9833 signal generator after …

I2C is a popular device protocol in communicating with microcontrollers. However, this protocol is not limited to Arduino, PIC and STM32; the Raspberry Pi can also use I2C.

In Arduino programming, we learn about functions setup() and loop(). Any code inside setup() executes once while code inside loop() executes again and again until the next reset. Now what if while inside the loop(), something went wrong either in code or in hardware? Normally we just press the reset …

This project makes the “dots” on a dot matrix look like they are pebbles in a container. Tilt the device on one side and the dots fall toward that side. The same goes if the device tilts to the other side.

A seven segment display has one pin for each of its seven segments. This means if directly interfaced with a microcontroller, you will need at least seven pins. Fortunately, there is a way to use four seven segment displays and using only four pins from your Arduino.

Measuring weight is a useful feature in many Arduino projects. You can use it to build a digital weighing scale, a force sensor, a smart container, or a weight-based trigger for automation projects. In this load cell Arduino tutorial, you will learn how to connect a load cell to an …

This ESP32-powered project allows you to write messages to a MAX7219 LED matrix display using your smartphone. Scaled up, this can be used as a WiFi message board for schools or signages for businesses.

For this article, I will show you how to use an ESP32 microcontroller as a magnetometer - a device that measures the direction and strength of a nearby magnet. In the absence of a nearby magnet, the device detects the Earth’s magnetic field. Hence, a compass is a type of …

Sponsored Post from NextPCB PCB manufacturers often present their customers with an IATF 16949 certificate on top of known certifications such as UL and ISO. What is this certification and why should we care about it?

In this article, I will guide you to the steps on how to build a WiFi servo controller project using the WeMos D1 Mini ESP8266 breakout board.
