A Single In-line Memory Module (SIMM) is a type of memory module containing Random Access Memory (RAM) which was used in computers from the early 1980s to the late 1990s (think 386, 486, Macintoshs, ...

Arduino is an open-source, community-based prototyping platform that offers accessible hardware and well-documented software to electronics enthusiasts. The community encompasses artists, designers, ...

Atmel and Arduino teamed up at World Maker Faire to introduce the Wi-Fi shield 101. [Gary] from Atmel gave us the lowdown on this new shield and its components. The shield is a rather spartan affair, ...

Someone has invented a way to add Wi-Fi to a standard Arduino Uno, by proposing a module that drops into the DIL socket normally reserved for the ATmega328 – it will not work with Unos that have a ...

Arduino has today announced the launch of their new Arduino Zero, a powerful 32-bit extension of the platform established by the popular Arduino UNO development board. The Arduino Zero has been ...

As I did not realise that Arduino is a quick route to getting a stand-alone 8pin microcontroller – an Atmel ATtiny85 – to do something useful. You don’t get all of the functions and performance of an ...

While designing an internet of things (IoT) project that also required a long radio-frequency link, it occurred to me that there are pre-wired modules already built to do that. In fact, not only do ...
