The hardware tinkerers and prototype mavens out there will invariably have stumbled across the Arduino platform. Completely open source and always pushing the limits for collaboration, there are a ton ...

You might think that there could be no form factor that has not as yet had an Arduino fitted in to it. This morning a new one came our way. [Johan Kanflo]’s AAduino is an Arduino clone with an onboard ...

So, what do you do when your Arduino project needs to operate in a remote area or as a portable device? There are LiPo battery shields available, and although they may work well, recharging requires ...

One of the great things about the Arduino is that it’s totally open source so you can make your own variations on it. Case in point, DIYer Johan Kanflo’s AAduino, which comes in at the size of a AA ...

Arduino developers and hobbyists looking for a portable battery shield to powered their projects might be interested in a new shield called the EnergyShield Arduino rechargeable battery. The ...

That’s what many DIY hackers cry out for when they see a new programming board. People even call for powerful mini-PCs like the Raspberry Pi 3 to shrink, as we saw in the reaction to our recent review ...

What do you do if even the smallest Arduino boards (or their clones) are too big for your homebrew project? If you're Johan Kanflo, you find a way to make them even smaller. His AAduino project turns ...

How many times have you built a system to work on a battery and succeeded, ask the creators of the Talk² Whisper Node. They've designed an Arduino-compatible wireless communications board with power ...

Recently I bought a few portable power supply devices to run my little microcontroller projects. There are countless variants of portable power supply devices that can be used to power up most ...

Last year, the Raspberry Pi Foundation surprised the hobbyist world with its RPi Zero, the smallest incarnation of its popular single-board computer. However, that has nothing on this even smaller ...

A Swedish software engineer — Johan Kanflo — has made a wireless Arduino clone called AADuino, which is the size of an AA battery. Kanflo explains that the AADuino has an onboard RF module, which fits ...
