The Arduino team has announced a PLC Starter Kit aimed at those looking to learn about industrial automation apps. We're talking real-time control, and monitoring and maintenance applications...

Arduino has bought out second revisions of its Nano 33 BLE and Nano 33 BLE Sense bluetooth-equipped microcontroller boards, keeping the sensor mix, but changing several of the sensor ICs. The nRF52840 IC (via a u-blox NINA-B306 module) stays the same, and still provides both an Arm Cortex-M4 processor and a Bluetooth transceiver – to go with these is an ...

Time once more to do a periodic roundup of our recent Gadget book previews, from the realms of electronics, gadgetry, or general technology...

One for those keeping an eye on Matter, the connectivity standard for smart devices and the IoT: Arduino is partnering with Silicon Labs to better enable development of "Matter over Thread" applications for Arduino devices.

I love this one, and I love the name: the BinDaycator, an MCU-controlled model that tells you which coloured bin is due for collection. I first saw an image of it on twitter, on one of those syndicate collection site – all about the bantz and the lolz and funny pets – but thought it was worth following further… It ...

Here's one to note: Arduino has updated its Cloud Editor, brings the classic Arduino IDE experience to the browser.

This one certainly caught my eye! I do like a creepy "following eyes device". Check out this system for making a painting's eyes follow you around the room.

Before we rush pell-mell into the New Year, let's just pause to consider the most popular Gadget Master posts written in 2023. Starting with #10 and a very tiny Raspberry Pi RP2040 powered TV screen...

All the stories below - which cover Apple, Raspberry Pi, supercapacitors, Intel, RISC-V and more - were written in 2023, to keep things focused. Can you guess what is at Number One?

An idea in an earlier blog is to make a pwm interface that can accept 5, 12 and 24V pulse streams. That one uses a bunch of resistors and has three separate inputs. Below that, wise commenter DB suggested a different approach, using a constant current sink: Update: In a previous version of this blog, I made a mess of ...
