As I’m sure many of you know, x86 architecture has been around for quite some time. It has its roots in Intel’s early 8086 processor, the first in the family. …read more Continue reading Why x86 Needs To Die
Most of us are familiar with the Arduino Uno, a starting place for electronics projects since 2010. But what if the Arduino Uno was released in 1980? You’d probably get …read more Continue reading Give Your Projects A Retro Tint With This 8051-based Arduino Uno
Ever wondered why your Arduino wasn’t programming, only to find out that the cable doesn’t have any data conductors? Worry not, [Spencer Maroukis] has got you covered with the USB …read more Continue reading Eliminate That Pesky Power-Only USB Cable With This Cable Tester
Are you a chocolate chip cookie connoisseur? Do you want to eat more cookies than you probably should at the push of a button? Don’t worry, [Startup Chuck] has got …read more Continue reading Building a Semi-Auto Cookie Dough Gun
When faced with an FPGA, some people might use it to visualize the Mandelbrot set. Others might use it to make CPUs. But what happens if you combine the two? …read more Continue reading Compute the Mandelbrot Set With a Custom RISC-V CPU
The Mandelbrot set is — when visualized with some colors — an interesting shape with infinite detail. While the patterns are immediately obvious to the human eye, anyone who’s run …read more Continue reading Raspberry Pi Pico Parallel Mandelbrot Computation
Last time, I talked about racing the beam, a type of graphics used when memory was scarce. Now it’s time to step into the future with more memory and talk …read more Continue reading Game Graphics: Rasterization
We’ve covered [mitxela] in the past and if you know him, you’ll likely know him for putting the micro in microelectronics. This year, he’s at it again with his LED …read more Continue reading Spice Up Your Earrings With Microelectronics
If you’ve made a robot or played around with electronics before, you might have used a time-of-flight laser distance sensor before. More modern ones detect not just the first reflection, …read more Continue reading Turbocharge Your Transient Sensors With Math
