Although DIY PCB making has made great strides since the early days of chemical etching, there’s one fly in the ointment: vias. These connect individual layers of the board with a conductive tube, and ...

This course introduces students to the architecture and design of Microcontrollers (MCUs), which are small processors used in a myriad of products. The main MCU components of the processor, memory, ...

The key is to remember you’re not the CEO. by Stanislav Shekshnia Most board chairs are experienced leaders. Half the chairs of the S&P 500 double as their companies’ chief executives, and the vast ...

A custom-designed Digital Random Number Generator PCB developed using KiCad. This project uses an 8051-family microcontroller, dual seven-segment displays, 74LS48 BCD-to-seven-segment display driver ...

It's time to worry — for real: Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros’ win in Colorado shows the anti-America, anti-Israel, antisemitic, anti-capitalism virus has spread well beyond Blue York. On Tuesday, ...

The Arduino API you already know, now live, from Python. Call pinMode, digitalWrite, analogRead and watch the board react right away: no compile, no upload, no flashing. Just Python talking to real ...

The sensor payload (thermopile + VL53L8CX ToF) is carried by a rigid pan-tilt assembly driven by two NEMA 17 stepper motors ...

Block-based editors are simple to use but can be limiting if complex programs need to be written. Text-based languages add more flexibility but are harder to understand and use. Flowcharts are simple ...
