What is PWM or Pulse Width Modulation?

One of the first questions people new to Raspberry Pi or Arduino projects usually ask is “What is PWM?” or “What is Pulse Width Modulation?” In this quick tutorial we will quickly cover this topic and hopefully make some sense out of it. In many of our articles we’ve talked about PWM conceptually, without going […]

Easy Arduino Dice Circuit

In this project tutorial we’re going to build a super easy Arduino dice circuit. It’s a great learning project and one of the first project a lot of people new to the Arduinos or micro-controllers in general like to do because it is simple to understand. We’ve added a neat twist to our dice circuit […]

Controlling an Arduino from a Web Page

When I got my first Arduino the first thing I thought was “Wow! I’d love to be able to control this thing from a web page!”, but of our course I didn’t have an Ethernet shield. So recently I decided to grab a shield from Amazon and see what I could do. First things first […]

Using Arduino Temperature Sensors DHT11 and DHT22

Having your Arduino aware of temperature and humidity adds some really neat real world use cases for your Arduino projects, so in this tutorial we will focus on using Arduino temperature sensors in our projects! Specifically we will focus on the Adafruit DHT11 and DHT22 temerature and humidity sensors. Since we will be building off […]

Arduino LCD Display Wiring

One of the first projects many people like to do with an Arduino is wiring up an LCD display and programming it.  This is because LCD screens have so many applications in the real world. You can display information to the user, error and diagnostic codes, and even fun little animations. Creating a game on […]

Arduino Train Crossing Project

In this project we’re going to put together a simple Arduino train crossing! While practically this project is simply to help you learn how to use buttons, LEDs, and servos in your Arduino project, this train crossing (also called a level crossing) project could be adapted to model train sets with very little work. In […]

Arduino Traffic Light Project

One of the very first projects almost all people do when they get an Arduino is to make the traffic light project. It’s an incredibly simple project but it teaches you some of the most relevant fundamentals of the Arduino.  We’re going to make the Arduino traffic light project in this tutorial, step by step […]

ADS-B Using a Raspberry Pi Flightradar24

If you’re not familiar with Flightradar24, you should be! It’s a fantastic service that tracks flights all over the world using ADS-B data. You can track ADS-B using a Raspberry Pi and send the data automatically to Flightradar24. In return for your service they will give you a $499 professional business subscription for FREE to […]

Using Xbox One Controllers on a Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi‘s are amazing devices. A lot of people turn them into gaming devices by running Retropie and even building arcade machines from them. So it only makes sense that some of us would want to connect an Xbox One controller to the Raspberry Pi!  However, using Xbox One controllers on a Raspberry Pi is […]

Setting up WordPress on a Raspberry Pi

If you followed our previous article about configuring a Raspberry Pi as a web server, then you’re going to love this article. We’re going to go through the process of setting up WordPress on a Raspberry Pi. You’ll be able to make your Pi into a full personal blogging appliance. Project Parts List In case […]
