An experiential learning project to teach students in high school and college how to use embedded electronics to accomplish things in the field as a proof of concept. - By Daniel Blake
We've partnered with 14-year-old whiz kid Quin Etnyre to bring his first Kickstarter to life!
I met Reagan at Maker Faire New York, and I ask him some questions about his recent project: an animatronic Jackal helmet from Stargate.
We often teach beginning learners that the standard 16 MHz Arduino Uno is fast... really fast. 16 MHz means 16 Million cycles per second -- or that translates to 1/16 millionths of a second per cycle. That's a mere 62.5 ns. That's fast. So, is the Arduino _really_ that fast? Let's see...
If you're looking to chat with those on the "other side," might as well do it with Arduino!
Many schools and homes have VEX robotics systems. It's an awesome and amazing platform. I've casually mentioned to several friends that integrating VEX with Arduino is super simple to do... Here's a quick snap-shot at what we got working today.
Overview of the related M2X Learn tutorial, which walks users through the process of connecting an Arduino and CC3000 to AT&T's M2X service.
Prepare yourself, we have a bunch of new products this week. And a tank. Check it out.
We're really excited about the MicroView -- a new Arduino compatible board with an integrated display! Check out why...
A simple search on-line for "Arduino resources" results in "About 3,920,000 results (0.30 seconds)," but if you're just starting out and interested in getting Arduino into your classroom - this can be terribly overwhelming. So - here's a list of some of the sites I like to use.
HacKidemia is a global organization that runs hands-on STEM workshops for kids in more than 25 countries around the world with 8000 children and 400 mentors. They were asked to bring the project to Africa and launched an indiegogo campaign two months ago: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/afrimakers. The main intention is to enable African makers -- kids in particular -- to use making and prototyping for solving local challenges like access to clean water, energy and information. SparkFun has donated the materials for 7 maker boxes - enough to support the initial campaign goal to equip each of the 7 hubs with a set of Arduino's, sensors, books, and tools.
First impressions of the Arduino/Intel-hybrid Galileo board - an x86 Arduino! - a small example project, and our likes and dislikes.
In October, a team of Sparkfunions were blessed with the opportunity to head to our 50th state to teach Arduino to kids, teachers, and makers on the islands of Hawaii.

only one way to become an expert ... just do it
Apologies for my confusion. I was deep in the datasheet (page 1137) where this line gave the impression of USB 2.0 capabilities. "RP2350…
Yep you are correct. I mistakenly took the spec from the Pico 2 board itself which states "Raspberry Pi Pico 2 comes with all the features…
More corrections: According to the datasheet RP2350 has no internal flash not 4MB as stated here. The RP2354 has 2MB of internal flash.
The RP2350 is still USB 1.1, not 2.0 as stated in the article. I am sure I wouldn't have spent a few hours reading about ULPI trying to see…
Thanks for the heads up! It looks like we went live with the 1st draft 🤦 I've got it updated now and will double check the specs again.
In addition to the parts you highlighted, the M33 core not the same as the M0+, as it's described as being in the article
Something does not add up here. According to the RP2350 datasheet on RPi site, RP2350 has: > * Dual Cortex-M33 or Hazard3 processors at…
