Reading Time: 2 minutesOf all the tools humanity has developed for navigation over our history, the humble compass is arguably the most important. A compass is cheap to produce, reliable, and incredibly useful for every kind of navigation. But standard mechanical compasses aren’t perfect; they can stick, are easy for people to misread, and don’t always indicate exact […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe entire purpose of virtual reality (VR) is to improve immersion beyond what can be achieved with a regular TV or monitor. So it can be frustrating to VR users when the darkness in their peripheral vision reminds them that they are, in fact, wearing a headset. To enhance the situation with Valve Index VR […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesSpeech recognition is everywhere these days, yet some languages, such as Shakhizat Nurgaliyev and Askat Kuzdeuov’s native Kazakh, lack sufficiently large public datasets for training keyword spotting models. To make up for this disparity, the duo explored generating synthetic datasets using a neural text-to-speech system called Piper, and then extracting speech commands from the audio with the Vosk Speech […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesDiscovering new music is difficult, making it a frustrating experience for both listeners and services. Identifying what one person liked about a specific song is a challenge when music is so subjective. Two different people may love the same song, but for different reasons that affect their wider tastes. In an attempt to improve the […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesAlthough a large percentage of our trash can be recycled, only a small percentage actually makes it to the proper facility due, in part, to being improperly sorted. So as an effort to help keep more of our trash out of landfills without the need for extra work, Samuel Alexander built a smart recycling bin that relies on […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThere is no shame in taking advantage of a voice assistant device, like an Amazon Echo with Alexa. Those devices are useful and can add real convenience to your life. But they lack personality and any feeling of a soul—not just because of the stilted voices, but also because of the boring industrial designs intended […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesMassimo Banzi and the Arduino Pro team will be crossing the Channel soon for a short tour of Southern England, touching base with long-time partners and meeting many new Arduino fans! On July 11th at 4PM BST, Massimo has been invited to give a Tech Talk at Arm’s headquarters in Cambridge, as part of the […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesIf you’ve ever found yourself in a trance while watching an episode of How It’s Made, then you understand the appeal of seeing a well-designed machine in action. But what if you didn’t have to turn on your TV or venture into a factory to get that buzz? That’s why JBV Creative built this real life […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesBased on the Renesas RA4M1 microcontroller, the new Arduino UNO R4 boasts 16x the RAM, 8x the flash, and a much faster CPU compared to the previous UNO R3. This means that unlike its predecessor, the R4 is capable of running machine learning at the edge to perform inferencing of incoming data. With this fact […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe revolutionary UNO R4, announced on Arduino Day, is now available on the Arduino Store! The fourth version of the iconic, beloved UNO adds a whole new dimension to the world of DIY and making revolutionized by the simple 8-bit microcontroller over a decade ago. Take your maker potential to new heights: UNO R4 has […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesShortly after setting the desired temperature of a room, a building’s HVAC system will engage and work to either raise or lower the ambient temperature to match. While this approach generally works well to control the local environment, the strategy also leads to tremendous wastes of energy since it is unable to easily adapt to […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesJeremy Ellis is a teacher, and as such, wanted a longer-term project that his students could do to learn more about microcontrollers and computer vision/machine learning, and what better way is there than a self-driving car. His idea was to take an off-the-shelf RC car which uses DC motors, add an Arduino Portenta H7 as the […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesOn June 26th-28th, the Arduino Pro team will be in Amsterdam for the tinyML EMEA Innovation Forum – one of the year’s major events for the world where AI models meet agile, low-power devices. This is an exciting time for companies like Arduino and anyone interested in accelerating the adoption of tiny machine learning: technologies, […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesWas there anything more exciting than watching AT-ATs walk across Hoth towards the Rebel base for the first time? Those massive machines were iconic and helped to solidify The Empire Strikes Back as the best movie set in the Star Wars universe. After experiencing disappointment with AT-AT toys that couldn’t walk, James Bruton built his own AT-AT robot that […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesA little over a year ago, Maker Mac70 set out to build an inexpensive DIY version of a volumetric display — a system which enables users to view objects in 3D, without the need for special glasses or extremely fancy components. But unlike in the Star Wars series, this system relies on a projector that can refresh hundreds […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesEvery arcade seems to have one particular game that appeals to the gamblers among us: the horse race game. That game has several model horses and people can gamble on the outcome of their race. The results are either random or controlled by the players through some sort of input mechanism. In a new video, […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesWe’ll be in California at the Santa Clara Convention Center June 20nd-22th for Sensors Converge, where the building blocks of IoT converge. As North America’s largest electronics event for design engineers, Sensors Converge brings together all the industrial components for innovative end to end commercial solutions design. Arduino will be there to give our take […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesYou already know that computers store and interpret data in binary: ones and zeroes. There are many, many ways to store binary data, because it works with anything that can maintain at least two states. In the early days of computing, punch cards were common. They were paper cards with a grid of points. A […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesEvolution is fact — at least as much as anything is a “fact” in the scientific sense. What is still very much in question is abiogenesis, which is the origin of life from inorganic compounds. Evolution is the mechanism that took unicellular life to our current biodiversity, but scientists don’t know exactly how the first […]
Reading Time: 5 minutesArtificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) are changing the way we interact with technology. With advancements in machine learning and data processing, we now have AI-powered virtual assistants, chatbots, and voice recognition systems that can understand and respond to our queries in a natural, human-like way. One such technology is ChatGPT, a large […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesDesigning, constructing, and launching your own model rockets is a great hobby for learning more about the world of aerodynamics, computer simulations, and physics as a whole. But when it comes to actually lighting the solid rocket fuel to achieve ignition, the user normally lights a fire directly on a fuse or lays out a […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis is the third time that we’ve selected three outstanding projects in the Arduino Project of the Month competition, highlighting the wide range of our users’ contributions to our growing Project Hub. For April we go from tanks to tunes – because why not? Anything is possible with just a few components, a lot of […]
