DIY Reflow Soldering Station Using a Frying Pan and Arduino

DIY Reflow Soldering Station Using a Frying Pan and Arduino

MAKER: ThomasVDD / Translated by: Fun Without End Cherry Soldering tiny SMD components can be quite challenging, but this process can also be automated. It can be completed by applying solder paste and baking it in a (reflow) oven or hot plate (just like a cooking plate in the kitchen). I have seen many DIY … Read more

Understanding the Differences Between Microcontrollers and Arduino

Understanding the Differences Between Microcontrollers and Arduino

The foundation of the Arduino platform is the AVR instruction set microcontroller, so it is necessary to understand the differences between microcontrollers and Arduino before using Arduino. 1 What is a Microcontroller? A functioning computer consists of several components: Central Processing Unit (CPU) (for computation and control) Random Access Memory (RAM) (for data storage) Read-Only … Read more

Creating a Music Keyboard with Arduino

Creating a Music Keyboard with Arduino

Compared to instruments like trumpets and flutes, electronic keyboards are easier to understand and operate. If we use a USB keyboard as the instrument keys, we can create the simplest keyboard instrument. To achieve this goal, we need to solve two problems: sound generation and parsing USB keyboard data. ·Sound Generation First, we need a … Read more
