In this experiment we are going to work with a sensor which is a resistor that depends on light. In a dark environment, the resistor will have a very high resistance. As photons (light) land on the ...

As we work on projects we’re frequently upgrading our tools. That basic soldering iron gives way to one with temperature control. The introductory 3D printer yields to one faster and more capable. One ...

If you're into robotics or electronics, you've likely come across Arduino—a small microcontroller that can control sensors and motors for nifty DIY projects. Like the Raspberry Pi, the Arduino is ...

All of the tools you need to work with the FPGA Arduino — the Vidor — are now in the wild! We reported earlier that a series of French blog posts finally showed how all the pieces fit together to ...

Two complementary concepts—automatic code generationand the inexpensive, open-source, single-boardmicrocontroller—have reinvigorated innovation inengineering practice and education. Automatic code ...

I’m not a fan of educational toys. They’re usually either too educational or too toy-like and, in the end, kids get little education and little fun. The Code Kit from LittleBits has changed my mind.

Case Western Reserve University’s Women in Tech Initiative continues; this time with a lively conversation with four students who are part of Girls Who Code. We spoke with Joy Fan, CWRU, ’25, Computer ...
