This Arduino device helps ‘split the G’ on a pint of Guinness

Reading Time: 2 minutesGuinness is one of those beers (specifically, a stout) that people take seriously and the Guinness brand has taken full advantage of that in their marketing. They even sell a glass designed specifically for enjoying their flagship creation, which has led to a trend that the company surely appreciates: “splitting the G.” But that’s difficult […]

Integrating generative AI into introductory programming classes

Reading Time: 6 minutesGenerative AI (GenAI) tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT are rapidly changing how programming is taught and learnt. These tools can solve assignments with remarkable accuracy. GPT-4, for example, scored an impressive 99.5% on an undergraduate computer science exam, compared to Codex’s 78% just two years earlier. With such capabilities, researchers are shifting from asking, […]

A lightweight file server running entirely on an Arduino Nano ESP32

Reading Time: 2 minutesHome file servers can be very useful for people who work across multiple devices and want easy access to their documents. And there are a lot of DIY build guides out there. But most of them are full-fledged NAS (network-attached storage) devices and they tend to rely on single-board computers. Those take a long time […]

This vending machine draws generative art for just a euro

Reading Time: 2 minutesIf you hear the term “generative art” today, you probably subconsciously add “AI” to the beginning without even thinking about it. But generative art techniques existed long before modern AI came along — they even predate digital computing altogether. Despite that long history, generative art remains interesting as consumers attempt to identify patterns in the […]

This three-fingered robot hand makes use of serial bus servos

Reading Time: 2 minutesA small startup called K-Scale Labs is in the process of developing an affordable, open-source humanoid robot and Mike Rigsby wanted to build a compatible hand. This three-fingered robot hand is the result, and it makes use of serial bus servos from Waveshare. Most Arduino users are familiar with full-duplex serial communication, which requires two […]

Teaching about AI – Teacher symposium

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 […]

DIY micro lab analyzes ammonia levels in blood and urine

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 […]

This mod simplifies single-point threading on mini lathes

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 […]

This robotic piano has solenoids for all 88 keys

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 […]

MKR Keylock is an open-source IoT keypad for your front door

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 […]
