We’re excited to welcome a new member to the Arduino Nano family – the Nano R4. Powered by the same RA4M1 microcontroller that’s at the core of the popular UNO R4 boards, this tiny-yet-mighty module is here to help you take your projects from prototype to product, smoothly and efficiently. If you’re already prototyping with […]
A physical lock, like what secures your front door, has a finite and calculable number of combinations, just like a digital keypad does. There are a set number of pins in the lock and each can be one of a set number of lengths. Each of those numbers varies based on manufacturer and model, but […]
IoT (Internet of Things) devices can be very useful, but they do, by definition, require internet access. That’s easy enough when Wi-Fi® is available, and it is even possible to rely on LoRa® and cellular data connections to transmit data outside of urban areas. However, deploying an IoT device to a truly remote location has […]
What happens when you hand an educational robot to a group of developers and ask them to build something fun? At Arduino, you get a multiplayer robot showdown that’s part battle, part programming lesson, and entirely Alvik. The idea for Alvik Fight Club first came to life during one of our internal Make Tanks, in […]
If you need to move fluid from one vessel to another, you’re probably going to want a pump of some kind. Typical inexpensive pumps are usually only on or off, so you can’t easily control the flow rate. Those that do have some kind of analog adjustment are usually imprecise, which is a problem in […]
We’re excited to invite you to a brand-new workshop created in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Whether you’re modernizing factory operations or tinkering with your first industrial project, this hands-on workshop is your gateway to building cloud-connected PLCs that ship data – fast. At Arduino, we believe in making advanced technology more accessible. That’s […]
Battlebots are fascinating, because their builders always manage to come up with unique new ways of destroying opponents while avoiding damage at the same time. Like any good sport, it involves metagaming to develop a strategy based on expected opponent strategies. Ari’s strategy was to make a translational drift (or “melty brain”) combat robot that […]
The term “mmWave” refers to radio waves with wavelengths on the millimeter scale. When it comes to wireless communications technology, like 5G, mmWave allows for very fast data transfer — though that comes at the expense of range. But mmWave technology also has some very useful sensing and scanning applications, which you may have experienced […]
The whole point of a robot is that it can operate without direct control input from an operator. Except there are many exceptions and it isn’t uncommon for roboticists and operators to require direct control. The Tinkering Techie needed to add that capability to his rover robot and built his own Wi-Fi controller that also […]
It is a story as old as time (or at least the 1960s): kid gets an RC car for Christmas and excitedly takes it for spin, but crashes it into a wall within five minutes and tears ensue. The automotive industry has cut down on accidents by implementing automatic emergency braking safety features, so why […]
