As spring deadlines settle and students like you look to reactivate dormant tinkering skills, the Arduino ecosystem in 2026 offers a streamlined path back to hands-on engineering. The Circuit ...
Abstract: Dead-time distortion is a typical problem in pulse width modulation (PWM) voltage source inverter (VSI). Accuracy in current polarity detection is a major issue in implementing dead-time ...
Arduino has become one of the key building blocks of the open hardware movement. Arduino, the platform, is designed to be modular, affordable, and easy for virtually anyone to use. The company behind ...
The 8051 was an 8-bit Harvard-architecture microcontroller first put out by Intel in 1980. They’ve since discontinued that line, but it lives on in the low-cost STC8 family of chips, which is ...
The Leuze DCR 1048i OCV is an innovative sensor that detects 1D or 2D codes and checks the imprint quality at the same time. It can read codes and also check quality using the OCV process in one ...
The Sharp GP2AP03VT00F Time-Of-Flight sensor seems to be a nice part for makers and roboticists, focusing on good short distance sensing where other parts sometimes have problems. Alas, Sharp seems to ...
I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...
If you're into robotics or electronics, you've likely come across Arduino—a small microcontroller that can control sensors and motors for nifty DIY projects. Like the Raspberry Pi, the Arduino is ...
