🚀✨ Behold! A revolution in embedding the mighty Go language into, well, things that like to sit in your junk drawer 🛠️📦. Now with the power to compile 'Hello, World!' on over 100 microcontroller boards you'll never use, and webify it into a #WASM so minuscule, you might just miss it. 🤯🎩 Bravo, #TinyGo, you truly went where no one was asking! 😂👏

TinyGo - A Go Compiler For Small Places Get Started See the code Go on embedded systems and WebAssembly TinyGo brings the Go programming language to embedded systems and to the modern web by creating a new compiler based on LLVM. You can compile and run TinyGo programs on over 100 different microcontroller boards from maker boards such as the BBC micro:bit and the Arduino Uno, to industrial processors from Nordic Semiconductor and ST Microelectronics.

Build This Open-Source Graphics Calculator

Graphics calculators are one of those strange technological cul-de-sacs. They rely on outdated technology and should not be nearly as expensive as they are, but market effects somehow keep prices w…

Better Faux-Analog VU Meters

One of the coolest things about old hi-fi hardware is that it often came with flickety needles that danced with the audio level. You can still buy these if you want, or you can simulate the same lo…

Arduino Code? On My 8051? It’s More Likely Than You Think

The 8051 was an 8-bit Harvard-architecture microcontroller first put out by Intel in 1980.  They’ve since discontinued that line, but it lives on in the low-cost STC8 family of chips, which i…

An Electric Jellyfish For Androids

We have to admit, we didn’t know that we wanted a desktop electric jellyfish until seeing [likeablob]’s Denki-Kurage, but it’s one of those projects that just fills a need so perfectly. The need be…
