By repeatedly taking the microcontroller through a couple of freeze-thaw cycles, [Edward] was able to calibrate this watchdog timer to a resolution of about 0.0025°C, which is more than enough ...

In this article, I'll be explaining the basics of how microcontrollers work, physically and virtually. First off, microcontrollers are no simple thing, so don't be discouraged if you find it mind ...

Microcontrollers in industrial applications are frequently used to manage almost simple circuits dedicated to a single task. We might think that an AVR microcontroller – e.g. the ATMega328p adopted by ...

With their cheap price tags, massive I/O provisions, and low power consumption, microcontrollers like the uber-popular Arduino family have diverse use cases, from simple automation projects to ...

If you have an irresistible temptation to do some experiments using Arduino microcontroller, just try this simple “electronic” version of a “part fill” valve, wired using an Arduino, ... 1 comment on ...

GeekDad's very own John Baicthal has joined Matthew Beckler and Adam Wolf (co-founders of Wayne and Layne) to release Make: Lego and Arduino Projects. Just like the other Make: books, it's a high ...

Arduino microcontrollers are known as open hardware. In the spirit of the open-source software tradition, the board designs, schematics and code are freely available to download, modify and enhance.
