Then a neat solar power meter, which uses a microcontroller and an actual (tiny) solar panel to help you figure out the best position and angle for photovoltaic installations.

What’s everyone’s favourite projects using microcontrollers? I’m currently fantasising about projects to practice my soldering skills… some things that easily come to mind are things like PWM/ARGB boards for my PC watercooling stuff. Or maybe a temperature sensor board (considering ASRock somehow didn’t think it’s necessary on my Mb?!). But I’m looking for fun little projects! Can be decorative and less “practical”, too!
(Even better if I can do some fun stuff using either #python #rust or #golang )
I would love to do macro keyboards but I do really need a 3d printer for all the casing stuff before starting those type of things …
New #Rust video out! I demonstrate how to use USB serial logging with the #RaspberryPiPico 2. With blinky and serial logging, you've got basic debugging tools ready to go!

And finally, that oh-so-tempting 13.3" E Ink Spectra 6 display I wrote about back in January is now available as a ready-to-run smart frame - complete with battery good for a year's worth of daily updates on one charge.
Still can't justify the cost, but... yeah, that's lovely. Nice one, Seeed Studio!

A great project next which uses the Generic USB Display (GUD) protocol to turn an STM32 microcontroller into a high-performance USB to VGA adapter for an old arcade cabinet's CRT - capable of weird resolutions, to get the most from the screen.

What time is it? Well, about five to four by my clock, but more importantly it's #Hackster round-up time!
First, for those who've got a shiny new #Arduino UNO Q on their desks, a new Arduino App Lab which adds some nice quality-of-life features including easy project import and export.
Also, it apparently takes 10GB of temporary storage to update your Arduino UNO Q(!)
It's teacher Tuesday!!
Happy start of second semester to everyone starting this week! 🎉
If you teach #STEMEducation or #microcontroller programming, I'd like to help you with your homework. 😉
Follow me as I build a beginner microcontroller curriculum – one week at a time. Week 2 is timing. 👇
A bit of a late #Hackster round-up today, as it's been a day of form-filling for very dull reasons I shan't bore you with.
First up, #RaspberryPi has relaxed the rules for its second RP2040 #microcontroller security capture-the-flag challenge - and there's still $20,000 up for grabs, with a new deadline of the end of April.
Today I programmed my first microcontroller. It's a Pimoroni Tiny2350. I got a simple "Das Blinkenlights" python script working on it (with Micropython and Thonny), which makes the RGB LED flash red, blue, and green, alternatingly.

And last but not least, a project from Max Reble which makes it possible to develop with the .NET framework on* the #Arduino UNO Q - adding support to the Arduino Router that lets the single-board computer side talk to the microcontroller side.
* Where "on" is expanded to mean "when tethered to a desktop running the full-fat .NET software development kit," anyway.

The Serial Wombat 8B ecosystem - cheap WCH RISC-V microcontrollers loaded with an open-source firmware and installed on boards that act as smart dev-board expanders over I2C - grows four boards larger now, as Jonathan Broadwell launches a new #crowdfunding campaign.

Next up a smart UPS controller which interfaces with the buttons on things that you want running during a power cut but that don't need to be *always* running, in order to boost battery runtime.

Then a 3D-printed device designed to detect leaks in an LPG system and automatically turn the regulator off... using, granted, a metal-geared servo, so intrinsic safety probably wasn't at the forefront of its design, here.

Right, it's #Hackster round-up time - and the last of the week, as I'm downing tools tomorrow to donate blood.
First on the list is a BusyBox-inspired firmware to turn an Espressif ESP32-S3 into a "tiny instant-on PC," complete with terminal, virtual filesystem, and on-board (minimal subset of) C compiler!

A nice list of #diy #hardware projects to do with an #ESP32 #microcontroller! https://itsfoss.com/esp32-microcontroller-projects/
And, finally, a look at a theremin-like MIDI controller built with a bare minimum of components: three time-of-flight distance sensors and an Espressif ESP32. Oh, and an LED strip, but you can leave that off and it'll still work.
Bonus points for the upcycled cardboard housing!
(Yes, I know it doesn't work like a theremin does, but you still play music by waving your hands at it.)

Then a 3D-printed Pomodoro-style focus timer, powered by a microcontroller with wireless connectivity if you want to add more features - and with a sleek new self-contained design.
