[Hans Peter] wanted to move away from using full Arduino boards in his projects. One of the components he rarely used after the development stage is the USB hardware. Once the firmware is flashed to ...

One part that I find myself using somewhat regularly in microcontroller-based experiments is the “USB power bank” that provides USB-standard 5-V DC output and offers some basic protection features.

The project illustrates an old Arduino USB board being hacked by finding the right pins and stringing a capacitor between the serial connector and the reset line. One side of the capacitor connects to ...

This week the official Arduino website has announced the availability of their new Arduino USB Host Shield and ArduinoISP boards from the Arduino Store. The Arduino USB Host Shield pictured above has ...

We’ve all been there: after assessing a problem and thinking about a solution, we immediately rush to pursue the first that comes to mind, only to later find that there was a vastly simpler ...

In Part I of this article, I briefly mentioned the generic USB driver in the context of getting a USB device to communicate through it easily, with no custom kernel programming. Unfortunately, I ...
