Electronic engineers, developers and hobbyists looking for a fully featured Arduino Mega compatible PLC may be interested in a new Indiegogo campaign launched today for a new development board ...

The long-awaited Arduino Due just hit the market, replacing the 8-bit, 16MHz brain of the popular Uno microcontroller prototyping platform with a 32-bit, 84MHz processor, while augmenting inputs and ...

Reading the temperature of your environment is pretty easy right? A quick search suggests the utterly ubiquitous DHT11, which speaks a well documented protocol and has libraries for every conceivable ...

Much to the chagrin of hardware tinkerers, the Raspberry Pi doesn’t have analog inputs on its GPIO pins. Sure, you can blink a LED with just a few console commands, but reading sensors with a ...

No matter the control system that we may be designing, whether it’s a HVAC monitor, motor controller or simple IoT sensor node, the system must control IO. This includes reading and writing digital IO ...

I had cause to have a closer look at some Arduino inputs – it is that fascinating weather station again. It transpires that some Arduino inputs are better at tolerating slowly-changing inputs than ...

Industrial digital input chips provide serialized data by default. However, in systems that require real time, low latency, or higher speed, it may be preferable to provide level-translated, real-time ...
