This Arduino monitor helps prevent bedridden patients from getting pressure sores and more

Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — January 27th, 2022 For people who are recovering from a major surgery or those who have a disability, ensuring proper posture while lying down for extended periods of time is vital for reducing joint pain and other ailments that come about from a lack of movement, including pressure sores. Rodrigo Mejiasz’s project aims to solve […]

Capture macro photos with this Arduino-powered platform

Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — January 25th, 2022 Getting that perfect up-close macro shot is touch, especially since even the smallest movement can throw off a focused image or make the subject leave the frame. This need for stability and precision is what drove Kike Glez (AKA ‘TelekikeG’ on Instructables) to build a motorized photography platform that would be able […]

Plot designs onto cups with CylinDraw

Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — January 18th, 2022 Most plotters are planar, meaning they move in a single plane — though they often have the ability to move the tool up and down in the third axis. But if you convert one axis of the drawing plane into rotation, you get cylindrical plotting. That is how the […]
