Arduino users news - Jules Marchildon - 10.10.2025

..not sure if any other PB users use this platform? 90% of my projects have a USB/Serial Arduino link to a PB GUI application.

Hi Jules!
I like Arduino,
part of my latest project is controlling Samsung TV via the ex-link serial connector, including code for Nano and PB.
Just ordered four MAX232N from Digikey to make real TTL to RS232 adaptors.
For RS232, all that I saw coming from China is sadly fake...
Project also capture some infra red messages and convert them to control some top box. Fun, fun, fun!
For Qualcomm, I like their CPU,
but now I'm afraid that they will want to promote mostly their stuff
and neglect all other options that we had or could have so much fun with...
Future will tell...
What is your current project?
