The folks over at Gadget Gangster put up an Instructable to build a retro 80s 8-bit microcomputer. Even though they’re using modern components, it still hearkens back to a time when 10 year olds ...

A way to apply the output of certain sensors to a TTL/CMOS-level iput on a microcontroller. Sensor must have an NPN output stage that can support a pullup to its power rail. With just a few components ...

Back in the Before Times, when microcontroller development required ultraviolet light, building anything was a pain. You probably had to burn a ROM onto a chip with a parallel programmer, there was no ...

In need of a simple microcontroller board for your project? Then, an Arduino board might be exactly what you're looking for. This open-source hardware platform comes in a multitude of versions, from ...

With these mods, this circuit will last quite a long time, especially if you make things easier for the relay by turning off power to the motor before switching directions. It is simple and effective ...

Data security is very important in data transmission. There are many methods to make the data to be secure. One of the methods is by using cryptography algorithm to encrypt the data. Using the ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Laboratory data often appears as Gaussian curves, and today's laboratory data-acquisition software is designed to ...

Microcontrollers, miniature computers that can run simple commands, are the basis for billions of connected devices, from internet-of-things (IoT) devices to sensors in automobiles. But cheap, ...

Atmel has announced the ATA6285 and ATA6286 microcontroller-transmitter ICs with sensor interface for tire pressure monitoring (TPMS) sensor gauge systems. Atmel has announced availability of ATA6285 ...

Microchip Technology, a major force in the market for mass-produced relatively simple microcontroller chips, is expanding its presence in the market for more complex chips. The Gilbert-based company ...

The Internet of Things security crisis persists, as billions of inadequately secured webcams, refrigerators, and more flood homes around the world. But IoT security researchers at Microsoft Research ...
