Have a drawer full of old Raspberry Pi Zero W or Zero 2 W boards? Bring them out to a PiZZa party!
PiZZa turns a Raspberry Pi Zero into a powerful microcontroller that you can program using the Arduino IDE. Today we’ll set it up and test it out.
Learn about the evolution of text-to-speech systems and see how we can use services like wit.ai and OpenAI TTS to make our ESP32 projects talk.
We will see how to program and ESP32 for both of these services, and we wil compare the quality of the voice.
Today we will look at some useful and unique tools for the ESP32 microcontroller. All of these tools run online in your web browser, no software installation required.
We will explore Diagnostic tools, Firmware Installers, Software Installers and even a few Online IDEs. Come check them out!
Today we are taking a look at an operating system for the ESP32 – yes, an operating system for a microcontroller!
MicroPythonOS is an Android-like operating system for the ESP32. Today I’ll show you how to install it, use it, and build your own apps for it.
Rotary Encoders are so useful, but they can be hard to work with. Enter the Adafruit I2C Seesaw Rotary Encoder! This encoder uses an I2C bus, making interfacing it with a microcontroller very simple.
We will learn how the encoder works, then we’ll use it to build a Menu System and a fun toy – an Etch-a-Sketch!
Today we wil examine the exciting new Seeeduino XIAO ESP32-C5 board, the first XIAO board that supports 5 GHz Wi-Fi!
We wil see how the board works,and how to use it for communications and in low-power mode. We wil also build a Dual-Channel WiFi Analyzer with a Liquid Crystal Display!
Today we are looking at the new Arduino Uno Q, a unique board that contains both a microcomputer and microcontroller.
We wil take a look at this unique piece of hardware, then we wil learn about Apps, which are programs that use both Python and C++
Want to build n electronic compass or a guidance system for a robot? Adafruit’s LSM303AGR module is the perfect component for you.
Today we wil look at this versatile module and perform experiments with it. We wil also see how to calibrate it, and we wil indeed build a simple compass with an OLED display.
Come meet the XIAO family! Today we wil take a look at all of the members of the Seeeduino XIAO microcontroller family. And there are over a dozen of them!
We wil check out their specs and then create three very different projects that use the same circuit (but different XIAO boards).
Air Pressure is literally all around you! Today we wil be testing three inexpensive yet accurate air pressure sensors – the MS8607, BME280 and LPS25.
All of these sensors are on similar Adafruit modules. We will l try them out with a variety of microcontrollers, and we’ll code in C++ and MicroPython.
