The dividing line between microcontroller development board and programmable logic controller (PLC) use cases has become increasingly blurred in recent years, as today’s Arduino hardware is very robust and reliable. But there are still situations in which peace of mind and regulatory standards support the use of a PLC, which is why we launched the […]| Arduino Blog

Alvik Fight Club: A creative twist on coding, competition, and collaboration| Arduino Blog
What happens when you hand an educational robot to a group of developers and ask them to build something fun? At Arduino, you get a multiplayer robot showdown that’s part battle, part programming lesson, and entirely Alvik. The idea for Alvik Fight Club first came to life during one of our internal Make Tanks, in […]| Arduino Blog
The term “mmWave” refers to radio waves with wavelengths on the millimeter scale. When it comes to wireless communications technology, like 5G, mmWave allows for very fast data transfer — though that comes at the expense of range. But mmWave technology also has some very useful sensing and scanning applications, which you may have experienced […]| Arduino Blog
It is a story as old as time (or at least the 1960s): kid gets an RC car for Christmas and excitedly takes it for spin, but crashes it into a wall within five minutes and tears ensue. The automotive industry has cut down on accidents by implementing automatic emergency braking safety features, so why […]| Arduino Blog
Our modern technological world is built upon shared knowledge. If you want to build a car, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel — you can rely on existing research and engineering, so you can skip ahead to the more complex specialized work. Such foundations exist in every industry for every technology, but powered exoskeletons […]| Arduino Blog
Before the rest of the world began logging on to the World Wide Web, the French had a very interesting online service called Télétel. It was somewhat similar to early bulletin board systems (BBS), but with much more functionality than really anything else from the era. By 1982, Télétel was available in most of France […]| Arduino Blog

It isn’t a secret that many kids find math to be boring and it is easy for them to develop an attitude of “when am I ever going to use this?” But math is incredibly useful in the real world, from blue-collar machinists using trigonometry to quantum physicists unveiling the secrets of our universe through […]| Arduino Blog
One reason that fans prefer mechanical keyboards over membrane alternatives is that mechanical key switches provide a very noticeable tactile sensation at the moment a key press registers. Whether consciously or not, users notice that and stop pressing the key all the way through the maximum travel — reducing strain and RSI potential. Developed by […]| Arduino Blog

Typically, consumer drones take off from the ground or some other solid surface.

Sadly, NickFPV isn’t very good at tossing his drone and that invites ridicule in his […]| Arduino Blog
Drone flight controllers do so much more than simply receive signals and tell the drone which way to move. They’re responsible for constantly tweaking the motor speeds in order to maintain stable flight, even with shifting winds and other unpredictable factors. For that reason, most flight controllers are purpose-built for the job. But element14’s Milos […]| Arduino Blog

One of the best features you’ll find on a fancy luxury car is seat position memory. Typically, there are at least two profiles that “save” the position of the seat. When switching drivers, the new seat occupant can simply push the button for their profile and the seat will automatically move to their saved position. […]| Arduino Blog
There are a handful of instruments that are staples of modern music, like guitars and pianos.

Each component you add to your Arduino project increases its complexity and the opportunity for mistakes.

Most monorail systems, like the kind at Disney and in Las Vegas, stay upright because the “rail” is actually a very wide beam.
