Students expressed creativity and ingenuity in the design of practical, microcontroller-based embedded systems for their final course projects.

When students at Cornell University wanted to play Human Tetris (and ace a final project to boot), they taught a 20Mhz, 8-bit microcontroller how to follow their moves.

This set of microcontroller boards start around $25 and come in the smallest footprint made by Arduino, allowing you to build compact and portable devices that are more difficult to make with an Uno.

In a bit of a twist, TK shows us how to construct an analog breathing LED sleep indicator that can be paired to a microcontroller.

From the Build Your Own Microcontroller Projects site – a very handy and comprehensive collection of electronic DIY projects – comes the electronic distance meter. With summer upon us, many ...

Of course nothing is wrong with using bitmaps to display images in your microcontroller projects, and there’s a certain advantage to fiddling around with the well-known image format.

Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico, a tiny little microcontroller that lets you build hardware projects with some code running on the microcontroller. Even more interesting, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is ...

[Aditya] had a project that called for spoken output. He admits that he could have built a PC-based solution, but he found that adding speech by using a microcontroller was not only a cheap and ...
