In a recent post, I talked about using the “Blue Pill” STM32 module with the Arduino IDE. I’m not a big fan of the Arduino IDE, but I will admit it is simple to use which makes it good for simple ...

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 ...

For the past few years or so, Microsoft has been embracing open-source software. Open-sourcing PowerShell, MSBuild, and its artificial intelligence framework CNTK are just a few examples of the ...

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

Arduino, the open-source hardware platform, today announced the launch of a new low-code platform and modular hardware system for IoT development. The idea here is to give small and medium businesses ...

I wasn't aware of this one, though it launched in April: the self-explanatory Arduino AI Assistant (the AAA). There are three main, possible, development wins identified. One is to generate code more ...

Before I start talking about this really cool thing called Arduino (Italian for "good friend"), let me say a few things about the fascinating subject of physical computing. Physical computing has been ...

Innovation in engineering practice and education has been reinvigorated by two complementary concepts: automatic code generation and the inexpensive, open-source, single-board microcontroller.
