Sometimes, when making your own devices on microcontrollers, there is a need to display huge amounts of information on a display and to use a bigger screen for ease of perception. Unfortunately, there are no ready-made and budget-friendly solutions for...
This project shows how to use the STONE display, STM32 microcontroller, ultrasonic sensors, and a servo. The purpose of the project is to be able to display the distance measured by ultrasound in real-time through the STONE display....
Have you ever made a processor? I did. Took me just 12 microchips and a clock generator. The processor can execute several commands, and programs can be written for it. The program code and input data are entered using micro switches, and the state of...

Let's get to some more real-world examples. First, we can look at a color-pill. Pick a color. If you search for "blue pill" or "green pill" or "red pill" and tac "stm32" on to the search, they all bring up useful information. ...
2018 UpdateST gets AtollicYes, "almost 2018", update. Interesting to see as noted @Hamish with the link he posted, STMicro acquiring Atollic IDE that was classified in this review as the most efficient. That makes sense. VSCode rules overWhere...
Part of the hits of 2018 has already come out, part - more will please us in the next couple of months. However, it is time to look into the more distant future and take up budget planning for future projects. So, we present to your attention the twenty...
update: this truckload of treasure was Craigslisted onto a stoked local person and his father, both of whom were excited for the possibilities. Consider giving away your old stuff, you might make someone happy.Danica and I are preparing to move...
Computer programming is, surprisingly, not just about computers. You can easily write codes on a go just using cool mobile apps. Writing a Code on a Go: Mobile Apps You`re Going to Love While picturing a typical computer programmer, it`s highly unlikely...
"Holy sh*t, look Morty I did not know that was gonna happen. That one's not on me..." - Rick & Morty S4 : E3, One Crew Over the Crewcoos MortyBut it was worth it.Many moons ago I built a robot, called AIME, and published it on Hackaday.Her skull came...
In the 1980's all were fond of TV’s no matter what color picture it gave. Earlier TVs were powered by CRT’s - Cathode Ray Tubes. These TV’s were too heavy to lift. As time is passing, new technologies are emerging. After CRTs, LCD screens were introduced...
SOT23 vs SOT323 Overview SOT23 and SOT323 are both plastic and surface-mounted packages. SOT23 owns 3 terminals, 1.9mm pitch, 2.9mm x 1.33mm x 1mm body, while SOT323 boasts 3 leads, 1.3mm pitch, 2mm x 1.25mm x 0.95mm...
So if you've seen damn near anything I've done for the last 18 months then you've seen examples of using Reverse Mount LEDs and also manually mounting LEDs upside down. A sample of my projects from 2018, all using reverse mounted LEDsReverse Gullwing...
As noted in our previous column, in the not-so-distant future we’re going to start creating simple circuits using resistors and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), but we first need to learn enough about resistors to ensure we use the right ones when the occasion...
