Reading Time: 5 minutesAI has become a pervasive term that is heard with trepidation, excitement, and often a furrowed brow in school staffrooms. For educators, there is pressure to use AI applications for productivity — to save time, to help create lesson plans, to write reports, to answer emails, etc. There is also a lot of interest in […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesCirrhosis of the liver is an extremely serious condition that requires extensive medical monitoring and often intervention. Progression of the condition can be fatal, so even if caught early it must be monitored closely. But, like most things in medicine, that gets expensive. That’s why Marb built his own DIY “micro lab” to analyze ammonia […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes“Single-point threading” on a lathe is the process of cutting threads, such as for a bolt, into the material through turning. The spindle/workpiece spin and the carriage moves linearly at a precise amount per turn of the spindle. That linear movement is the thread pitch. But this process usually requires several passes to reach the […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesPianos famously have a lot of keys. A standard full-size piano has 52 white keys and 36 black keys, for a total of 88. Therefore, people need to get clever when they build self-playing pianos. However, the brute force approach works, too. Paul Junkin’s brute force strategy was to add a solenoid for every one […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe age-old combination of physical locks and keys, although reliable, also comes with a few drawbacks, such as when you lose the key or you want to share access with someone else remotely. Davide Gomba has recognized this and built the MKR Keylock project as a way to address some of these shortcomings. Starting with an existing electronic […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteIntroverts aren’t shy, quiet creatures that need to stay at home all day – it’s more complicated than that. Where extroverts thrive on social interaction, introverts find it takes a bit of energy to be around other people. When they’re feeling full of social energy it’s fun to socialise; when that social battery is drained, […]
Reading Time: 5 minutesAs artificial intelligence continues to shape our world, understanding how to teach about AI has never been more important. Our new research seminar series brings together educators and researchers to explore approaches to AI and data science education. In the first seminar, we welcomed Shuchi Grover, Director of AI and Education Research at Looking Glass […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesIt also has the equally important connectivity requirements of modern industrial automation. From your classic terminal pins, serial connector, Ethernet, etc., there’s also access to the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth of CM4, along with a GPS antenna add-on, and you can expand it with LoRa or LTE for more radio connections. Ready to go There’s […]
