So he tried his hand with some really small SMD parts by building this USB to serial Arduino programmer. The chip he went with isn’t the FTDI part we’re used to.

Project schematic As seen in the above schematic, a 5-V DC supply from the USB connector (USB) is routed to two 10-Ω/5-W power resistors (R1 and R2) through an SPST switch (S1) followed by an SPDT ...

Turning an Arduino of virtually any sort into a simple AVR 6-pin ISP programmer is old hat. But when Atmel came out with a series of really tiny AVR chips, the ATtiny10 and friends with only six pi… ...

The serial port is most commonly RS232, which is a standard that dates back to the 1960s. Although RS232 is the most widely used, these adapters can also feature RS485 or RS422 serial interfaces.

Meanwhile, the Arduino Mega is getting the same USB chip along with an ATMega2560 processor with twice the memory. Right now only 128K is available, but that's a software limitation and they're ...

The small Arduino development board offers a fantastic alternative to the larger form factor of the Arduino Uno and even the Arduino Nano. Specifications of the Atto are listed below and the board ...

Arduino has shrunk the UNO R4 with the Arduino Nano R4 board equipped with the same 48 MHz Renesas RA4M1 32-bit Arm ...

Small enclosures for USB dongles, Arduino and BeagleBone To house small PCBs using USB as the external power and signal interconnect, Hammond Electronics has extended its 1551 miniature enclosure ...

Arduino has announced the new UNO R4 board family for prototyping and learning. The new models feature a faster microcontroller, a USB-C connector, improved power, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE, and more.
