Learn how to make a wireless timing device using ESP32 wireless communication.
From an automated mushroom farm to the first NFT in space! Read on to find out what happened at the Jan '22 Miami Hack Week!
Yay! More interrupts. Let's see how to set up timer interrupts in an Arduino.
Let's continue digging deeper into Arduino to see what's really going on with registers.
Let's continue with the crystal anniversary theme by looking at liquid crystals!
In order to use more advanced features or optimize our code for space and speed, we need to understand how to work with registers directly in microcontrollers.
With all the information needed to construct a combat bot, let's actually build one!
We bring back Jamie to give us some design tips when creating a 3D-printed plastic ant bot.
Let's mix channels from an RC hobby controller to make a robot drive!
Let's learn how to read PWM signals from an RC receiver!
We get a combat bot veteran to talk about the different weapon types for fighting robots.
We can use digital magnetic field detectors as a compass to give our robot an absolute heading.
Let's gaze upward and look at how some of those nifty satellites can give us position data.
It's Monday, and that means it's time for Adventures in Science! This week, we dive into the mysterious world of rotary encoders.
Let's take a look at how LIDAR works and how we can use it in robots.
Time for the ever-popular loops discussion! We look at the three basic loops you can use in Arduino.
Building on our last Arduino programming episode, we look at creating compound conditional statements using logic operators.
We're back to exploring programming basics, and this week: if/else statements!
How to use the various math operators and compound assignment operators in C/C++.
We present another set of concepts in the computer science series as they relate to Arduino.
Like so many projects I've tried to undertake using SF products. I repeat the procedures as written only to find that something that is…
To share a point of amusement: Last year I put together a presentation on the Apollo Guidance System that took men to the Moon in 1969. Due…
Hmm. Looking through this blog post, it looks like Alex left the 3D models for the case in the GitHub repo for anyone to print =>…
Where can I get the case? It is nice to see the hardware for a UI for a project but I want the case to put it into. It looks like the case…
Nice catch. I just fixed it. It should be pushed by the end of today to reflect the new firmware v01.00.02. ;D
Easy EDA does some wacky things if your doing a double sided board and you place different components on the same X and Y but on different…
In addition to KiCad, I've also used gEDA and [been ab]used [by] Eagle. gEDA was an "open source" solution, mainly used on Linux, but last I…
Great question! Yes, there is: at the top right-hand side of the designer you'll find a little file icon with a "G" on it that will allow…
One quick question that I didn't see answered in the above: Is it possible to get this to create Gerber files for the newly designed board?…
I think my favorite memory of Sparkfun was when I took the tour of the facility (I think it was either 2017 or 2018), and met a few of the…
