NANO-ARM : Arduino Zero Compatible but in Arduino Nano Form Factor

2017/07/25 6:55 am / Leave a Comment / Bertus Kruger / Featured

We loved Arduino Nano’s but always wanted a bit more performance and memory. So we decided to create a Arduino Nano compatible board but with an upgrade micro-controller that is similar to an Arduino Zero. They are now ready and shipping from our online store : Protoneer Online Store http://wiki.protoneer.co.nz/NANO-ARM Nano-ARM forum page

Sneak preview : LPCDuino

2014/05/11 4:29 pm / 2 Comments / Bertus Kruger

A few months ago while designing the Arduino CNC Shield I bumped into a guy that was also going through the process of building a CNC machine. Between us we had some good brain storms and ended up with the current version of the CNC Shield. He has been keeping himself  busy with a few interesting … Read More →

Can-Bus Breakout (Picking Can Bus over RS485)

2014/03/03 7:52 pm / 4 Comments / Bertus Kruger

Introduction into RS-485 and CAN Bus After playing with micro controllers for a bit it gets clear that at some stage you want to control things at a distance. Doing this can very quickly get complicated and expensive. For the particular projects I wanted to control wireless was not an option as it was too … Read More →

Real Time Operating System – FreeTROS with LPC microcontrollers

2013/10/28 11:01 am / 1 Comment / Bertus Kruger

I recently started moving from Arduino/Atmel 8-Bit processors to NXP/ARM 32-bit processors. It’s been a huge learning curve but it opens lots of doors for bigger and better projects. The first set of Micro Controllers I targeted was NXP’s LPC11U14 and LPC4337. These processors run much faster the Arduino’s and they work great for multi-tasked … Read More →
