Difficulty

We saw this project on Instructables, and had to try it for ourselves. Of course, we ended up using all the Duinotech parts we had around.

Test & Tools
ATtiny Programmer Shield
Difficulty

The best thing about at the ATtiny85 IC is undoubtedly its size, but this also makes it difficult to program.

HCF-August-Oscilloscope
Test & Tools
Simple Duinotech Oscilloscope
Difficulty

This little test tool is designed to be easily put together if you need a very basic 'scope in a hurry.

Arcade Joystick
Entertainment
Arcade Joystick
Difficulty

There's a lot of arcade emulators out there that can run on many computers including the Raspberry Pi so it only makes sense to play these emulators on some authentic hardware. Here we'll show you how to build an arcade style joystick using our new Arcade Pushbuttons and Arcade Joystick. We've got a Leonardo main board to emulate a USB keyboard so it can be used with any software that you can play with a keyboard. Just like any other Arduino design, it can of course be customised to more buttons or even mapped to different keys. We've built ours in an ABS enclosure for portability but there's no reason you couldn't mount the controls directly to an arcade cabinet or even a coffee table.

Power
LoRa Remote Relay
Difficulty

We are very excited to get the chance to play with our new LoRa Shields, and test just how far we could get a signal using LoRa technology.

TEST & TOOLS
Coding Shield Project
Difficulty
