Introduced in 1984, the Psion Organiser series defined the first generation of electronic organizers or PDAs (personal digital assistants). Even though these devices are now over 30 years old, the ...

The CREATE USB Interface (CUI) was a project that came out of UC Santa Barbara around the same time the Arduino was being developed. It has a USB port, a PIC18F4550, and a prototyping area. It was ...

This week the official Arduino website has announced the availability of their new Arduino USB Host Shield and ArduinoISP boards from the Arduino Store. The Arduino USB Host Shield pictured above has ...

The project illustrates an old Arduino USB board being hacked by finding the right pins and stringing a capacitor between the serial connector and the reset line. One side of the capacitor connects to ...

One part that I find myself using somewhat regularly in microcontroller-based experiments is the “USB power bank” that provides USB-standard 5-V DC output and offers some basic protection features.

To house small PCBs using USB as the external power and signal interconnect, Hammond Electronics has extended its 1551 miniature enclosure family with three new sizes, all 15.5mm high: “The sizes have ...

The Arduino UNO R4 brought a modern 32-bit platform to the UNO form factor. Arduino’s Alessandro Ranellucci explained the ...
