When it comes to educational electronic projects, it’s hard to go past building a clock. You learn tons about everything from circuit concepts and assembly skills to insights about the very nature of ...
The past month or so I’ve been playing with the Maxim DS1307 Real-Time-Clock and DS1621 Temperature Sensor ICs. I hooked them up to an Arduino Uno board with a Parallax Serial 16×2 Character LCD. I ...
Just when you thought you’ve seen every strange variation of clock there is to see, we find one based on an Arduino that tracks the phases of the moon. The “Lunar Phase Clock” is a project that popped ...
We have featured quite a few cool clocks here at Geeky Gadgets, and the latest one is the work of Andrew O’Malley, the DOTKLOK, which is an open-source Arduino digital clock. The DOTKLOK comes with a ...
If your commute to work or home can sometimes be congested with traffic, you may be interested in a new do you know hack which has been published by the team who created the awesome 1Sheeld system.
One of the limitations of the small 8 bit microcontrollers like the Atmel ATMega family adopted by the Arduino board, is the reduced number of I/O ports. Among the main advantages of these ...
[Paul Stoffregen], known as father of the Teensy, has leveraged the Teensy 3.1’s hardware to obtain some serious speed gains with SPI driven TFT LCDs. Low cost serial TFT LCDs have become commonplace ...
