A new tutorial is available! It will teach you how to control a nixie tube with an arduino and discrete high voltage transistors. Access the tutorial I published another tutorial a while back on the same topic, but using old nixie drivers instead. As these drivers are unreliable and no […]
A new page has been created in the lessons section, talking in depth about the ubiquitous linear regulator. If you wish to jump right in, the page can be reached at https://idyl.io/electronics/power/linear-regulator/ You will learn: How linear regulators are built How to take in consideration the “drop out” value of […]
After publishing a review of the STM32 “Blue Pill”; there was only one thing left to do: how to program it with Arduino of course! You will find the complete tutorial by accessing the menu, under Arduino; or simply by clicking on the link below. Enjoy! Access the tutorial
OSH Park is a PCB manufacturer tailored to hobbyists. They take orders for very small quantities of boards (minimum 3) and they are able to do this by taking small hobbyist projects and compiling them into a big batch. A typical two layer board costs US$5 per square inch. […]
We continue to enrich the website with new content and today I am pleased to share with you a new tutorial on the Microchip 47C16 2kb I2C ram (and its 47L16 low power counterpart). It’s in my opinion one of the best chip to start with an external serial […]
The most observant of you guys might have noticed that there’s a new tutorial available from the menu: how to interface a Si7021 humidity and temperature sensor with Arduino. I went all in with this one, going deep enough to create my own library which supports all features of this […]
A new how to guide has appeared on the main menu: how to manipulate whole ports. If you are mildly experienced with Arduino, this will further your knowledge and bring you closer to the underlying micro-controller hardware. It’s a short read that could be useful in your next project so take […]
You might have noticed it on the front page banner: there is a new tutorial available that will teach you everything you need to know on how to use a GPS module with Arduino. Plugging in it, reading raw data and finally using a library: it covers all the bases […]
