Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming language and the Arduino Software (IDE).

Shift registers are integral components in digital electronics, enabling efficient data management and transfer. When working on Arduino projects, you may quickly run into the issue of not having enough output pins to control all your components. This is where SIPO (Serial-In, Parallel-Out) shift registers come into play. These devices allow you to manage multiple outputs with just a few pins on your Arduino, making them a powerful tool for more complex projects involving numerous LEDs, buttons or other peripherals. This article explores why shift registers are necessary, how they function, and their practical applications with Arduino.

Shift registers are integral components in digital electronics, enabling efficient data management and transfer. As your Arduino projects evolve, you might face the challenge of needing to read multiple inputs simultaneously. PISO (Parallel-In, Serial-Out) shift registers provide an elegant solution to this problem. These devices enable you to read several inputs while using only a few pins on your Arduino, making them essential for projects that require a large number of buttons, switches, or sensors. This article explores why shift registers are necessary, how they function, and their practical applications with Arduino.

Raspberry Pi has introduced a successor to last year’s Pico, a $4 microcontroller based on the RP2040 chip the company designed itself. The new model is called the Pico W. It’s basically the same hardware, but it adds, as the name suggests, an 802.11n Wi-Fi radio, making it useful for putting together IoT projects and the like. It’s also more expensive than the standard Pico, coming in at $6.
