Arduino Wiring, A New Choice for Developers On Windows 10 IoT Core


https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-wiring-new-choice-developers-windows-10-iot-core/

Last year, Arduino and Microsoft announced a strong partnership and Windows 10 became the world’s first Arduino certified operating system. This partnership made the creation and innovation much easier with the hardware capability of Arduino and the software capabilities of Windows. Early this month, Arduino Wiring became a new programming language for Windows 10 IoT […]

Using VL53L0X With Arduino to Measure Height


https://www.electronics-lab.com/using-vl53l0x-arduino-measure-height/

Usually, when measuring a child’s height at home, a mark is drawn on the wall then the height is measured using a measuring tape. This process is not always easy and it may has low resolution. In an attempt to simplify this procedure, a new project was developed using an Arduino and a distance sensor. […]

Cheap Arduino Serial Terminal


https://www.electronics-lab.com/cheap-arduino-serial-terminal/

Peter Scargill writes, As it happens I’m experimenting on a 1284 chip which while being Arduino-compatible kind of, it does have another serial port, so without disconnecting my FTDI – I hooked up the second serial port to the home control serial and fired the DEBUG command at the latter. As you can see on […]
