DIL-Duino is a complete Arduino environment in a DIL-8 form factor based on the DigiSpark Hardware. by Daniel Grießhaber: DIL-Duino uses the QFN Version of the ATTiny85 and a USB Bootloader to provide the easy to use Arduino stack in a single DIL-8 Package Footprint. To fit the...

Deomid Ryabkov introduces us a method of flashing ESP8266 in 5 sec. To achieve that he used a modified ESPTool. More details on the link below. If you are developing for ESP8266, you may be familiar with esptool, which is a tool that you use to upload your code to the device. And it...

Patrick Van Oosterwijck has published a LiFePO4 battery solution for Raspberry Pi that will also act as UPS power supply: The project is built on top of a LiFePO4wered/USB module. A small board is added with an MSP430G2131 microcontroller that takes care of monitoring input and...

In this post dorkbotpdx.org show us a couple of different ways that an external antenna can be added to the Raspberry Pi 3. It's not clear why an external antenna is not an option for the Pi 3, there are a number of possible reasons and I don't presume to know the Raspberry Pi...

our friends at educ8s.tv wanted to test out how fast the  Teensy 3.2 is, so he build the project above. I wanted to find out if Teensy 3.2, despite its small size, is faster than the Arduino Due, the fastest Arduino board available today. So I build a simple project where both...

Here is a nice tutorial on how to build your own reflow soldering oven using ControLeo2 reflow oven controller. This particular instructable is based on the ControLeo2 reflow oven controller by Peter Easton. This is by far the best I've come across and the software is fully open...

A simple signal strength indicator for the ESP8266 and 128 x 32 OLED Display This is a simple Arduino IDE sketch that displays the RSSI, BSSID and signal "bars" of a given SSID WiFi Signal strength indicator using ESP8266 -...

Here is a low cost and easy to build power supply based on a some Chinese DC-DC converter modules: This is a small size power supply with low cost and easy to make that only taking about 5 more hours. I was very happy with it and would share with you. Power Supply...
