As I did not realise that Arduino is a quick route to getting a stand-alone 8pin microcontroller – an Atmel ATtiny85 – to do something useful. You don’t get all of the functions and performance of an ...

Celebrating little victories means a nice cup of tea as I managed to transfer an Arduino programme into an AVR ATtiny85 microcontroller. Like the people in and surrounding Raspberry Pi, clever souls ...

Artist Jeff Leonard has created a pair of fantastic Arduino powered CNC painting machines with the aim of combining both formal elements of painting with the modern day CNC computing and programming ...

Using a little Arduino hardware and programming a new CNC printing machine has been created to help bring Batik designs to life. Batik is a fabric decoration technique where wax is applied by hand to ...
