We love looking at hardcore electronics projects with a beefy microcontroller and hundreds, if not thousands, of lines of code at its center. But everyone needs to get there somehow. This tutorial ...

In the last installment of our tutorial series we built a simple circuit on a breadboard and programmed an ATmega168 to make it run. That proves that you know how to follow directions, but the eureka ...

In this age of microelectronics and robotics, we are fortunate enough with the availablilty of a vast range of compact, easy to use and flexible robotics project kits. Usually in almost all hobby ...
