This novel wearable provides touchless haptic feedback for VR typing
Reading Time: 2 minutesOne reason that fans prefer mechanical keyboards over membrane alternatives is that mechanical key switches provide a very noticeable tactile sensation at the moment a key press registers. Whether consciously or not, users notice that and stop pressing the key all the way through the maximum travel — reducing strain and RSI…

This spinning water contraption is actually a functional battery
Reading Time: 2 minutesIf you ask someone to think of a battery, they’re probably going to picture a chemical battery, like a AA alkaline or a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. But there are other kinds of batteries that store energy without any fancy chemistry at all. If you find a way to save energy for later,…

Build your own 4DOF robotic arm on a budget
Reading Time: 2 minutesRobot arms are very cool and can be quite useful, but they also tend to be expensive. That isn’t just markup either, because the components themselves are pricey. However, you can save a lot of money if you make some sacrifices and build everything yourself. In that case, you can follow Ruben…

Toss-launching drones is hard — this automatic launcher does it better
Reading Time: 2 minutesTypically, consumer drones take off from the ground or some other solid surface. But that isn’t very cinematic and toss launches — when the pilot throws the drone up into the air — are a lot more interesting to watch. Sadly, NickFPV isn’t very good at tossing his drone and that invites…

This robotic tongue drummer bangs out all the ambient hits
Reading Time: 2 minutesIf you like to listen to those “deep focus” soundtracks that are all ambient and relaxing, then you’ve heard a tongue drum in action. A tongue drum, or tank drum, is a unique percussion instrument traditionally made from an empty propane cylinder — though purpose-built models are now common. Several tongues are…

Using an Arduino Nicla Vision as a drone flight controller
Reading Time: 2 minutesDrone flight controllers do so much more than simply receive signals and tell the drone which way to move. They’re responsible for constantly tweaking the motor speeds in order to maintain stable flight, even with shifting winds and other unpredictable factors. For that reason, most flight controllers are purpose-built for the job.…

This DIY standing desk controller provides luxury car-style memory settings
Reading Time: 2 minutesOne of the best features you’ll find on a fancy luxury car is seat position memory. Typically, there are at least two profiles that “save” the position of the seat. When switching drivers, the new seat occupant can simply push the button for their profile and the seat will automatically move to…

Arduino is at work to make bio-based PCBs!
Reading Time: 4 minutesApril 22 is Earth Day – a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility to preserve the planet for future generations. While the call for climate action grows louder, Arduino is committed to making sustainability an ongoing priority through concrete projects and global collaborations every day of the year. One of the most…

This custom flight joystick provides force feedback with stepper motors
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe joysticks found on ordinary controllers are quite simple, and as a result, they fail to provide much in the way of haptic feedback for the user. This is especially tough in racing or flight simulator games where making sharp turns should require a greater amount of force. YouTuber zeroshot’s project aimed…

This machine helps to experimentally find an estimation of absolute zero
Reading Time: 2 minutesHow can we ever really know anything? If you listen to the anti-science types, you might believe that we can’t. But if you get past Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, you can start identifying basic truths, through logic and experiments, on which to build upon. One important foundational building block is absolute…

This student made his own odds with a DIY slot machine
Reading Time: 2 minutesToday’s digital slot machines are anything but “fair,” in the way that most of us understand that word. There is tight regulation in most places, but the machines can still adjust their odds of payout in order to maintain a specific profit margin. If the machine thinks it has paid out too…
