A little shaky on IMU selection? This might smooth it out for you.
Tired of paying The Man for your power? Before you go off-grid, this is the video you want to see. We'll give you the background on solar cell function and performance, and talk about some of the other parts you'll need to get the job done.
Care to take a peek under the hood of reality? Hall effect and Lorentz force are big news in the land of the tiny.
We tend to over-simplify the act of dropping an LED into a circuit. But do you know what all of those specs in the data sheet mean?
Want to get started with car hacking? This video is for you!
Heard about CAN bus but don’t know what all the hype is about? This video’s for you!
Looking for a beefy, wired data bus where RF won’t cut it? We dig into RS-485 and explore how it works and why it just might be the one you need!
An updated take on an old classic gag.
Without phase-locked loops, we’d all still be living in caves, just getting by with stone knives and bearskins.
To honor our 15th anniversary, Pete digs into the electrical properties of crystals.
How slowly can you clock an ATmega328 and still have any functionality?
I design and build a headphone amplifier, and go on a journey of self-discovery (and learn some hard lessons).
Find out what happens when Pete takes on Big Bluetooth.
Pete digs into WiFi for a broad, hardware-ish level explanation of how it all works.
There's so much arguing over code on the internet. Let's try to get to the bottom of the debate.
What has Pete been up to? Playing with flying robots, actually.
Practice makes perfect...ly acceptable, folks.
He's back, folks!
It's time for another visit with everyone's favorite Director of Engineering!
We've got some fresh "According to Pete" for your viewing pleasure!
Oops -- I missed the "in-person", and thought that it was going to be via one of the e-meeting things. I won't be able to attend in-person,…
I presume that the "5:30-6:30 pm" is MOUNTAIN DAYLIGHT TIME (i.e. "Denver") time.
Ah we also wish there was a Qwiic Connector on the new Pi 5! Hopefully we can make this happen in the future!
We will! The chemical makeup of the battery is different from any other type of battery we've carried in the past so we want to make sure we…
Is sparkfun also getting the little RTC batteries with the cord attached for the RPI5?
A couple of "conspicuous by their absence": First, our friends over at Adafruit have a LOT of items that have…
I finally had some time late yesterday to watch a couple of the videos on YouTube that reviewed the "pre-release" samples of the RPi 5 that…
OK, found an "implication of an answer" -- over on Adafruit's "New Products" list is [Raspberry Pi 5 RTC…
I'm kind of "chomping at the bit" to know more about the RTC battery requirements for the RPi 5. From the pics on the "official documents"…
Does this possibly hint at the stock may be in by then to fulfill the pre-orders?!? <fingers crossed!> or are you using samples you already…
