As you might have noticed, the 38-KHz pulse generator is built around the evergreen timer chip NE555P (IC1). Here, the RC components (R5-C3-P1) set the astable frequency to drive the infrared light ...

Old infrared remote controls can be a great way to interface with your projects. One of [AnalysIR’s] latest blog posts goes over the simplest way to create an Arduino based IR receiver, making it ...

The world of littleBits (the “not-a-toy” toy that I reaaaally wish existed when I was younger) just got a little bit bigger: it can now play friendly with Arduino. If you’re not familiar with ...

I made this Arduino project that allows to turn ON and OFF LEDs using a cheap IR remote control as a preparation for the next big step: disassemble my girlfriend’s chinese LED lamp and replace its ...

LittleBits has today announced the launch of a new Arduino module to their range of components in the form of the new Arduino at Heart. As the name suggests the Arduino at Heart module has been ...

“You can’t put new wine in old bottles” – so the saying goes. But you would if you’re a hacker stuck with a radio built in 2005, which looked like it was put together using technology from 1975.

Raspberry Pi may be grabbing the headlines and Arduino board may be developing a big following, but arguably the blueprint for the embedded design platform was created by TI’s BeagleBoard and ...

Two years after launching the Curie-powered Arduino 101 maker board, Intel is calling it quits on the hardware. The chipmaker has announced the end-of-life for its Curie Module, which launched in 2015 ...

Arduino enthusiasts that are looking for a wireless shield to help build Arduino projects might be interested in the new edition to the Adafruit range of hardware in the form of the Arduino WiFi ...

VIGO Photonics would like to introduce our LabM-I-5, a laboratory IR detection module with optically immersed photovoltaic detector based on HgCdTe heterostructure. It features a DC offset ...
