The Arduino Classroom
Many hobbyists use or repair equipment intended for automotive use, so require a power source. The linear design presented here is modernized with MOSFET pass elements that improve efficiency with no switching noise.
Here's a simple technique to run an LCD on only two port lines of a microcontroller.
When natural disasters occur and phone service goes out, it’s ham radio operators who keep communications open.
While you can always listen to the radio from some newfangled device, why not do it the old-fashioned way — over the air from a desktop unit. (Plus, you get to control it with a remote!)
Graphical plotting, data acquisition, and control software for your microcontroller.
