Theremins are a bit of an odd instrument to begin with, but [AphexHenry] decided to put one where no theremin has gone before: into a baguette. The “baguetophone” is a …read more Continue reading Theremin Baguette Brings New Meaning to Breadboarding
It used to be the cost of a microcontroller was a big inhibitor to putting brains in everything, but those days are long gone. Even 32-bit CPUs are now cheap …read more Continue reading Less is More When It Comes to Sensor Power
Input devices that can handle rough and tumble environments aren’t nearly as varied as their more fragile siblings. [Alastair Aitchison] has devised a brilliant way of detecting inputs from plumbing …read more Continue reading Plumbing Valves as Heavy Duty Analog Inputs
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) interface was initially standardized by Motorola in 1979 for short-distance communication in embedded systems. In its most common four-wire configuration, full-duplex data transfer is possible …read more Continue reading Bare-Metal STM32: Setting Up And Using SPI
When the need for speed overcomes you, thoughts generally don’t turn to 8-bit computers. Sure, an 8-bit machine is fun for retro gameplay and reliving the glory days, and there …read more Continue reading This Snappy 8-Bit Microcomputer Brings the Speed to Retrocomputing
Whether you’re shooting video or photos, having a camera remote can really improve your productivity. No longer do you have to run back to the camera to press its tiny …read more Continue reading Custom Sony Camera Remote Built With ESP32
[Esperantanaso] has long been involved in producing homebrew 8-bit computers. His various builds could all achieve different things, but he grew frustrated that applications written for one could not be …read more Continue reading WheatSystem is a Homebrew 8-Bit OS
We were impressed with [moononournation’s] tiny thin client project. It claims to use an Arduino, but as you might guess it is using the Arduino software along with a network-enabled …read more Continue reading Tiny Thin Client is Small But Compatible
Anyone who’s done an electronics project knows the most important part of any good design is making sure to keep the magic smoke inside of all of the components. There …read more Continue reading USB Power Isolator Keeps Smoke In
We are spoiled for choice when it comes to single board computers, whether they be based around a microcontroller or a more capable SoC capable of running an operating system …read more Continue reading The State Of The SBC Interface Ecosystem, Is It Time To Design A Standard?
