Five new Elektor courses help beginners take their first steps in microcontroller programming with Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi Pico. Each course combines hands-on projects, hardware kits, and ...

With the increasing demand for automation and remote operation, controlling electrical devices without the need for physical access has become an important area of development in modern engineering.

In the era of A.I. agents, many Silicon Valley programmers are now barely programming. Instead, what they’re doing is deeply, deeply weird. Credit...Illustration by Pablo Delcan and Danielle Del Plato ...

Finding the perfect cardio workout can be overwhelming, especially when flashy new equipment like Peloton bikes and high-tech treadmills are everywhere you look. But if you’re looking for a workout ...

The Merach Stair Stepper promises gym-quality workouts in a compact, foldable package for $149.99, but reality falls short of the TikTok hype. While this vertical climber offers decent cardio and core ...

This library is designed to work with the Arduino IDE versions 1.8.x or later; we have not tested it with earlier versions. This library should support any Arduino-compatible board, including the ...

This paper describes the development and implementation of a control system for a direct current (DC) motor using the Arduino Uno microcontroller, based on the speed and direction control of the motor ...

Rotary motor motion is usually converted to linear through rack and pinion sets, belts and pulleys, and other mechanical linkages. These are effective but limited systems. In contrast, integrated ...

The Arduino Opta micro programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a unique entry point into the automation field. Automation fields like smart homes, process controls, and robotics are project areas ...

Hiwonder’s MechDog is a compact AI robot dog powered by an ESP32-S3 controller that drives eight high-speed coreless servos. It features built-in inverse kinematics for precise and agile movements and ...

This library implements non-blocking functions to move a stepper motor by jogging (start/stop on command), or by a set angle (absolute or relative). Constant speed ...
