TAMI is an interactive trig learning table
Reading Time: 2 minutesTAMI is an interactive trig learning table Arduino Team — October 17th, 2019 Trigonometry is a struggle for some students. Perhaps one of the reasons for this is that instruction can be something of a one-way street, and concepts can be hard to grasp until more technical building blocks are learned. As…

Spooktastic Halloween Costume Projects – part 1
Reading Time: 3 minutesWe interviewed Luis Martin Nuez about this blood-curdling costume idea a few years ago. It’s very basically a Raspberry Pi with a Camera Module that displays what it sees on the screen live. The camera is attached to his back, with the screen on his stomach, and the preview mode is used…
