Intel has been courting the maker community hard. It’s announcing Arduino 101 at the Maker Faire in Rome on Friday, where Intel is a sponsor, and the board will be featured on an upcoming ...

There are many reasons to build your own Arduino circuit on a protoboard or a custom-designed printed circuit board. At the heart of the Arduino platform is an AVR microcontroller, in usual way you ...

In this DIY, I am going to discuss “How to Burn a Boot Loader in a Fresh ATmega328 Chip and Build a Homemade Arduino on PCB”. In Arduino UNO we use ATmega328 IC so that I select this one to ...

Chipmaker Arduino s.r.l. today introduced a new microcontroller board, the Uno R4, that offers significantly higher performance than its previous-generation hardware. Switzerland-based Arduino is ...

Arduino will join forces with AI chip startup Axelera to bring more advanced machine learning to the masses. The collaboration will combine Axelera’s accelerator chips with Arduino’s families ...

If your Arduino has a built-in WiFi or Bluetooth chip, such as ESP8266, it may have a separate LED that starts blinking as soon as you plug in the Arduino. Some Arduinos have two onboard power LEDs.

Why it's a good bet: The firm recently closed a round raising over $30 million, drawing interest and investments from big chip firms like ARM and Bosch. Arduino also is hiring for open positions ...
