The Blooper is an open-source USB looper that brings back the null modem concept for modern USB-C connections, enabling UART serial debugging, device emulation, and network-free file transfers between two hosts.
We emulate the TDG series remote controls using the GSM Shield. It’s not been long since we presented our GSM shield for GSM/GPRS modules SIMCom, QUECTEL, FIBOCOM etc. that was born to be incorporated in Arduino-based projects involving cellular connectivity; now it’s time to move on to the first practical application, which in this case…
https://youtu.be/2FcOQE6c_SA Nowadays USB port is used widely for data transactions between electronic devices and computers. In many scenarios, there is no need to communicate with the USB port directly, therefore electronic designers use USB to UART (RS232-Serial) converter chips, so the USB port is converted to a virtual COM port on the computer. The…
Equipping the old-made (but not used) plotter with Bluetooth COM port. Then making the first PCB and case’s backplate with it. What for? Why not ordinary printer? It is possible to draw PCB on this plotter, face panel of a case, to mount a laser/mechanical cutter and a mechanical engraver. Drawing area of this…
We make a device that allows GPRS connectivity via the USB port of any PC or USB host device. Internet connectivity via mobile phone network is now an extremely widespread reality and many of us use it in a transparent and unconscious way using common objects such as tablets and smartphones. However, this is…
Tomshardware.com recently posted an interesting Raspberry Pi GPIO Pinout guide for everyone that is not so familiar with raspberry pi or electronics. Every Pi model since the Raspberry Pi B+ has had 40 GPIO pins and they clearly explain what each kind of pin can do, by grouping them into different categories. Let’s see together…
BurgessWorld Custom Electronics has launched a new Raspberry Pi shield that allows you to combine in the same project the power of a Raspberry Pi Zero (W) SBC with the flexibility of Arduino. The Arduino-compatible shield is highly compatible and allows you to mount and power a Raspberry Pi Zero or the new Zero W…
The SparkFun Pro nRF52840 Mini Bluetooth development board is now available priced at $30 and features a ARM Cortex-M4 CPU supported by 1MB internal Flash and 256kB internal RAM. The board comes pre-programmed with a USB bootloader. You can develop programs for the nRF52840’s Cortex-M4 using either Arduino, Circuit Python, or C (using Nordic’s nRF5 SDK),…
The Pixy announced in 2013 as a Kickstarter campaign, was a computer vision package meant for makers that can learn and detect objects via the press of a button. The new Pixy2 is smaller, faster, and smarter than the original, and has the same capabilities as the original Pixy, plus a few new tricks. These latest features…
