In this video we will have a look at the Blue Pill development board that is based around an STM32 32-bit ARM uC. Along the way I will show you how to easily program it with the Arduino IDE and what advantages/disadvantages it offers in comparison to the traditional Arduino.

Can a Raspberry Pi be used as an Arduino? || RPi GPIO Programming Guide 101
In this video I will show you how to use the C and Python programming language in order to control the GPIOs of a Raspberry Pi. Along the way I will demonstrate for what projects the Raspberry Pi can be used and when you should rather use an Arduino instead.
Screaming Pumpkin 3h DIY project [Arduino, ESP32, RGB, Audio, PIR]
In this quick maker project the pumpkin gets some basic electronics that have some animated RGB LED lights a motion detection sensor and sound. It detects if trick-or-treaters are approaching the house and plays a scary scream and flashes the lights. It’s really rewarding for such a quick projects that can be built easily with kids. All is controlled by the esp32 microcontroller that can be uploaded with the code linked below from the Arduino IDE. All the other parts are simply attached without much effort. The electronics can be easily applied to other Holiday projects. Have Fun!
Arduino Sensors – which one to use
Here I show you a few examples with sensors. Below you have all the tutorials step by step with schematics, codes and libraries that you need for each sensor.
How to use Excel to Animate LEDs! Arduino + WS2812 LEDs
I actually just created this excel utility to help create some cool animations for a Halloween costume… It just generates the function calls to set the bytes properly in the LED array.
An Affordable Arduino-Powered Bionic Hand
Modern robotics is full of some amazing things, like Boston Dynamics backflipping robots, but the hardware associated with these robots comes at a fairly steep cost. An industrial robotic arm can cost anywhere from $25,000 to $400,000 and that price tag can stop a hobbyist or tinkerer from experimenting with robotics. Youbionic is intending to change this with its new affordable bionic arm.
The New Arduino MKR WAN 1310
Released at Maker Faire in New York two years ago, the Arduino MKR WAN 1300 was one of the first boards released after the resolution of the protracted legal battles around the Arduino trademark.
Say “hello” to its replacement, the new Arduino MKR WAN 1310.
Using WebUSB with Arduino and TinyUSB
Adafruit recently uploaded a hand guide on how to use Google’s WebUSB API with the TinyUSB stack and Arduino-based projects and how to interact with them in Chrome. Googles WebUSB platform is a JavaScript programming interface that allows users to interact with USB devices via web pages. The TinyUSB library enables Arduino-based development boards to appear as USB devices, making it easy to connect them to the WebUSB standard.
All you need to know about Stepper Motors| Code Included| Robosense
Robotics is the next disruptor which is obvious, electronics, data science and hardware knowledge is very important to make a mark in this field. Robots ranging from small printing machines to huge arm movements are very precise which has been possible by introducing a new generation of motors known as STEP Motor or STEPPING Motor and popularly known as STEPPER Motor.
Commodore 64 Revamp With Raspberry Pi, Arduino and Lego
This project lets you rediscover the 1980’s gaming scene by resurrecting an old Commodore 64 home computer using new components and those ever-versatile Lego bricks! If you had one of these computers, this build will let you replay forgotten games and beat old high scores.
If you’re new to retro-computing, now’s your chance to see why the Commodore 64 was so incredibly popular.
