An Arduino is a popular open-source single-board microcontroller. Learn how to program one and let the possibilities take shape.

Now you don’t even need a serial connection to program an Arduino; it can be done over the Internet to a board in the next room, or on another continent.

Making an Arduino shield can be simpler than you think. This time I designed one to program Attiny and Atmega microcontrollers, that way I don't have to use a breadboard and make the wiring to program ...

The Arduino IDE is used to write the program that will interact with your Arduino and the devices connected to it. In the Arduino world, such a program is called a sketch, which has its origin in its ...

The official Arduino IDE is a dour piece of software designed for uploading code to the ubiquitous and super-cool micro controller. It is a standalone, non-networked app that isn't very pretty to ...

Before opening the Arduino software, wire up the Arduino according to the circuits page using the 8MHz minimalist breadboard circuit but with a 10k pull-up resistor on the reset pin (physical pin 1).

Beyond that, it is a normal Arduino program and you can do what you like. Upload it and you’ll get the CPU and FPGA programmed all in one go. There is one caveat.

The open-source Arduino Software (IDE) makes it easy to write code and upload it to the board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Download/copy the simple sketch (Arduino program) included here, verify and upload it to the Arduino board with the help of the Arduino IDE. Here two pieces of stiff wire is used to sense the ...

Arduino is the now-famous microcontroller that has set a portion of the maker community free to design amazing creations. The Arduino board and platform is fairly simple, but it can be ...
