An Arduino is by no means expensive, but that still doesn't mean that it suits your needs right out of the box. If you want to make your own custom board, Make shows you how in a three-part series.

The rise of low-cost, hacker-friendly electronics is fueling a new wave of hardware hobbyists. Using programmable boards like the Arduino and dirt-chip computers like the Raspberry Pi, you can build ...

I made this project because I wanted a way to automatically control the speed of a DC fan according to the temperature read by a LM35 sensor. I had a few problems with the PWM part mainly because the ...

When it comes to electronic design, breadboarding a circuit is the fun part — the creative juices flow, parts come and go, jumpers build into a tangled mess, but it’s all worth it when the circuit ...

Microcontroller is a term you hear fairly often in the DIY landscape. Often confused with Single-Board Computers, MCUs like the Arduino series are integrated circuits designed for specific circuitry ...
