One of the most common clichés around here is that a piece of equipment chosen for a project is always too advanced. If a Raspberry Pi was used, someone will say they should have used an Arduino. If ...

This is a modification of the popular AccelStepper library that runs the motors using timer interrupts instead of polling them in the main loop. This allows for more precise step timings and running ...

The creative adventures with ATtiny series microcontroller are awesome if you know how to play them. ATtinys — especially the ATtiny85s — are all around us, and by using one, we can shrink the size of ...

The 555 timer IC has been around now for quite some time and the list of potential uses for this device appears to be endless. This article contains a few examples of circuits that you might ...

A running joke we see in the comments by Hackaday readers whenever a project includes an Arduino or Raspberry Pi that seems like overkill is to proclaim that “I could have done it with a 555 timer!” ...

The 555 timer IC, introduced in the early 1970s, remains one of the most iconic and widely used analog chips in electronics. Let's explore its enduring appeal through a few simple, fully tested 555 ...

The 555 timer IC, originally introduced by the Signetics Corporation around 1971, is perhaps one of the most popular analog integrated circuits ever produced. In this new Elektor book, the focus is on ...
