The BASIC interpreter eats up around 600 bytes in the Arduino RAM, leaving about 1.4 kB for BASIC code. Not much, but more than the lowest-end BASIC Stamp.

We'll outline the basics of the Arduino itself, what the crazy jumble of wires means, and then step through how to use other people's code and schematics to build your first electronics project ...

The electronic design of the Basic Stamp is simple, yes, but there’s a method to the madness. The code you write for the Basic Stamp is stored in 256 bytes of the EEPROM.

Youngsters interested in technology might get a kick out of working with real computer hardware and software during their summer break. Parents, ...

The Innovation Hub of the Regional Science Centre, Kozhikode, is organising a three-day workshop titled “Arduino for school students”, from September 13 to 15 for students of Classes 8 to 12 ...

The serial port baud rate is set to 9600, and the Arduino Uno uses COM34. Visual Basic 2008 comes with the SerialPort function, so it’s pretty easy to program. All that we need the Arduino to do is ...

Thankfully, Arduino forum member Romano d'Ezzelino has put together a series of reference cards that show the basics of a number of common connections.

What is MRAA and UPM? MRAA (mraa.io) – pronounced ‘em rah’ is the hardware abstraction layer in Arduino Create* for Linux* based platforms. It is an open source project, and it supports ...

Of course, knowing the basics of Arduino is only half the battle; if you want to get to the fun stuff you'll have to learn how to code it as well.
