The Nokia 3310 LCD is a cheap option for those who want to add a graphical display to their microcontroller projects. This digital thermometer project uses this LCD to display the temperature from a LM35 temperature sensor.

This project is a stepper motor controller featuring the PIC16F877A microcontroller and coded using XC8. The controller has three control buttons: start, stop, forward and reverse. The project was created with a six-wire unipolar stepper motor in mind but may work with other stepper motors with some modifications.

The Raspberry Pi Zero W comes with both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. I have already covered how to turn on WiFi on my previous tutorial. Now, let’s look at how to set up a Raspberry Pi Zero bluetooth connection without a GUI.

A water level sensor is a simple device used to measure the level and volume of water inside a container. This tutorial shows you how to use a water level sensor with microcontrollers like an Arduino or PIC.

LoRa is a promising low-power, long-range wireless transmission protocol developed by Semtech as part of the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT). Simply put, it is a method for sending data separate from WiFi, Zigbee, or Bluetooth. Its low power consumption amidst a very long range of transmission (up …

The number of Arduino boards have increased over the years; some have been discontinued while others are still available. The choice of which board to use depends on several factors: price, features, availability, ease of use, etc. Here’s a summary of all Arduino boards with their pros and cons.

For the next part of my series on PocketBeagle, I will show how to add WiFi connectivity to the board. This board doesn’t come with built-in WiFi like the Raspberry Pi Zero W. With a simple hack, I managed to add WiFi connectivity to it.

A flex sensor can be used with a microcontroller to detect or measure bending.  In this tutorial, I will show how to interface this sensor with an Arduino UNO and discuss some possible flex sensor applications and projects.

The MQ-6 is a semiconductor gas sensor device for detecting the levels of propane and butane in the air. Since liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is composed of these two gases, then the MQ-6 can be used as a LPG sensor.

I am a fan of the BeagleBone Black. Thus when I heard that a small-body version of the BBB is now available, I purchased it immediately even if it costs twice as much as the other small-body SBC, the Raspberry Pi Zero. The PocketBeagle, as it’s called, also doesn’t have …
