  You've probably seen, when comparing different Arduino boards, a list similar to this: What is all of that? It's certainly overwhelming for anyone new to the scene.  So let's take it real slow.  Memory.  There's really just two types of memory to consider.  Volatile and Non-Volatile.  No, no, not like whether it's explosive or not, but whether or not it sticks around after losing power.  You see, Non-Volatile memory sticks around after power is removed.  It's any type of memory that, well, remembers what it had. Volatile memory is only good for as l ..read more

So you've hacked apart some hardware, now what? Last week you had to get the AVR dude back in line. He just wasn't letting you upload to your Arduino. Now that he's doing his job properly again, today when you woke up, you woke up with DIY Fever.  You decided to hack apart some old tech hoping to hook it up to an Arduino.  You're looking down at your shop bench with parts all over and then it hits you.  Now what? Well, now that you've hacked apart some hardware you're looking to get it working with an Arduino. Problem is, you don't know where to start, and that ..read more

Recently I've been building more and more projects which has caused me to enough solder, wire and shrink tubing to circumnavigate the earth and moon roughly 43 times.  Ok... maybe not that many times, but you get what I mean... Because of that, I needed to update some tools and equipment which I want to share with you! I updated 5 major items in my electronics lab... with that... lets look at them one by one! Upgrade Number 5 | Shrink Tubing... I don't know about you, but I can never seem to have enough of this stuff on hand. I always end up with the wrong size. So I bought an entire roll ..read more

USB Drivers The Dr.Duino comes with an arduino uno clone. So what does that mean, well... its awesome as it has a bunch of extra features that an original Arduino uno does not.  1) My personal favorite, all the Digital IO is broken out so that you can directly solder on to them if needed. 2) You have access to some extra 5V and Ground pins that you can solder to. However, it does use a different USB to Serial converter than an original Arduino Uno does. This Arduino Uno Clone uses the CH340 chipset but don't worry aside from it being a different driver, its pretty transparent in its opera ..read more

This morning I woke up to an email from a customer asking if multi-threading within a single Arduino is possible. Meaning, can you do multiple things at the same exact time inside a single Arduino. This is a really interesting question because at face value, one might think that this is possible. After all, a single sketch could have a ton of functions or “things” it’s doing. When you run the code, It might even appear that everything is actually happening at once BUT, this is just an illusion A sleight of hand if you will. Let me explain. For the purposes of this blog we will be talking abou ..read more

Welcome everyone, I'm super excited to share with you something really cool. Recently I had the opporunity to speak with Tenaya Conklin from Rogue Making about her experiences working for Arduino and some of her wearable projects. It was a super fun interview and I think you will love it! Make sure to watch till the end for a really exciting announcement!   ..read more

Welcome back to another action-packed blog post where I answer your most burning questions about Arduino! So far, we’ve covered “What is Arduino”, “What you can and CAN’T do with it”, “What’s better Arduino or Raspberry Pi” and this week, I’d like to answer another question I hear a lot! Recently whilst (whilst is my favorite word), chatting with a buddy of mine about the applications of Arduino, he asked if Arduino could be used in real products? He specifically wanted to know if he could buy an off the shelf Arduino board like an Uno(1) or Nano(2) and sell it as part of his own electronic w ..read more
