We managed to blink an LED in the previous tutorial. This time, still featuring the STM32F1 Nucleo, we will add a button that will control the attached LED and a simple clap switch.

On the previous tutorial, we managed to create our first program with the STM32 Nucleo board. Now we will dig deeper on the pinout and other functionalities of the board.

The STM32 Nucleo boards by ST pack a lot more power than an Arduino UNO and have headers aligned the same way with the latter which makes it compatible with Arduino shields.

A thermistor is a special resistor whose resistance varies with temperature. Learn how to interface a thermistor with a microcontroller in this tutorial.

The Raspberry Pi comes with a camera connector on board. But if you don't want to buy the official camera and use a web camera instead, you can! I'll show you how to display a video from the webcam on a web server hosted by a Raspberry Pi

I finally got my hands on a Raspberry Pi Zero W and started the usual tinkering. For those unaware, this smaller version of the Raspberry Pi packs a 1 GHz CPU and 512 MB of RAM. But what excites me the most is the WiFI and Bluetooth connectivity that comes …

Maybe you’ve used an HD4480-based LCD before (pictured) and you know that it requires a potentiometer for adjusting contrast.  Is there a way to remove this potentiometer completely?

I got plenty of questions regarding microcontroller power outputs and requirements especially for popular ones like PIC or the Arduino.  So I decided to answer all of them in this post. Technically, Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black are not microcontrollers (I like to call them microcomputers) but I decided to …

You can use WiFi with the NodeMCU (ESP8266) even without a WiFi router. All you need to do is create a NodeMCU WiFi Access Point and the device will now act as a WiFi gateway.

Uploading sensor data to web servers is one of the core ideas for Internet of Things (IoT). Such data are often small-sized and are continuously updated over time. And while HTTP performs satisfactorily for simple applications, like how I showed in my NodeMCU web server tutorial, there is a need …
