Reading Time: 2 minutesThis Arduino device will sort your M&M’s by color Arduino Team — June 18th, 2021 If you were challenged to design a device that could sort M&M candies by color, how would you make it work? You might consider using machine learning, which has become accessible in recent years. There are even ML models available […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteArduino Team — June 16th, 2021 Skateboards are great for going in a straight line, or gently curving one way or the other, but Proto G Engineering’s “omnidirectional board” takes things to a whole new level. Thanks to four 3D-printed Mecanum-style hub wheels, this device can not only move forwards and backwards, but can slide […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesTurn your bicycle into a Pokebike with DJ Harrigan’s MKR Zero device Arduino Team — June 16th, 2021 Within the Pokemon series there exists a special bicycle that plays a little tune when ridden, and this is what element14 Presents’ DJ Harrigan was trying to recreate with his DIY Pokebike project. It has a simple purpose: […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — June 16th, 2021 In the world of music, being able to keep time accurately is vital when playing a piece, as even small deviations in timing can cause the notes played to sound “off.” Ordinarily a device called a metronome is used to provide consistent ticks that the musician can use, but […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — June 15th, 2021 Stream Decks have gained a great deal of popularity within recent years. However, increased demand and a limited supply of them has caused their prices to skyrocket and availability to dwindle, leading many to seek alternatives. The streamer known as CoCoaCoCi has created a DIY Stream Deck before, but this first […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — June 14th, 2021 Both archery and robotics are extremely fun, but what happens when you combine the two? In Kamal Carter’s case, he constructed his own autonomous robotic archery system that can not only acquire and aim at targets, but even draw back the bow and fire an arrow all on its own. The project features […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesGood design counts for everything Designer Che-Wei Wang built a simple Arduino project that’s counting to a billion, and has been doing so for over 10 years. Could this be the longest continually running Arduino project in the world? Che-Wei has a background in art, architecture and industrial design. He now runs a boutique design […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteArduino Team — June 11th, 2021 While some prefer iced coffee, few like a cup of Joe that’s been sitting out for too long and has simply stabilized to room temperature. To ensure his beverage is up to snuff, YouTuber Make Fun Stuff has created his own non-contact temperature display for his desk. The device […]
Reading Time: 5 minutesAt this point, asking “what is cloud computing?” has become difficult. We say it all the time. “Cloud computing” this, “in the cloud” that, “connect to the cloud” the other thing. Cloud, cloud, cloud. What, you mean you don’t know what the cloud is? This is why breaking into new technology can be so daunting. […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — June 10th, 2021 Chess is an excellent game to play with friends, but what if you don’t have any to compete against nearby? This is what prompted maker Carlos Pendas to create an automatic chessboard that’s not only able to record which pieces got moved, but even move the pieces itself. This means you can […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — June 10th, 2021 For the hearing impaired, communicating with others can be a real challenge, and this is especially problematic when it is a deaf parent trying to understand what their child needs, as the child is too young to learn sign language. Mithun Das was able to come up with a novel […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis disguised campsite security system lets you know ‘hoos’ there Arduino Team — June 10th, 2021 Motion sensors for home security stick out like a sore thumb, as their shiny white exteriors can be easily seen from a distance. This is made worse when camping, as small, discrete security devices that blend into their surroundings […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — June 8th, 2021 Epilepsy can be a very terrifying and dangerous condition, as sufferers often experience seizures that can result in a lack of motor control and even consciousness, which is why one team of developers wanted to do something about it. They came up with a simple yet clever way to detect […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — June 8th, 2021 Birds have an amazing sense of direction that aids in migrating across vast distances, and scientists think this is due to their ability to detect magnetic fields — just like a compass. Chris Hill on Instructables wanted a way to experience this for himself by using a sensor and some sort […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — June 7th, 2021 Arduino library submissions have a new, easier and more transparent workflow. Libraries are one of the pillars of the Arduino ecosystem. At time of writing, more than 3,780 open source libraries are available to perform any kind of task. This includes communication with external components and using algorithms for […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesDIY Perseverance rover replica looks and moves like NASA’s Arduino Team — June 7th, 2021 Merely looking at the latest Mars rover, Perseverance, will make almost any nerd giddy with excitement over the amount of cool tech that’s crammed into the vehicle before it gets shot into space. This feeling is what probably inspired Dejan […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesJames Bruton’s robot uses three ball-shaped wheels to move in any direction Arduino Team — June 5th, 2021 Wheeled robots normally have wheels that move in a single axis and steer by using either differential speeds or by pivoting some kind of guide wheel. However, this leads to some drawbacks, the most obvious being an […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — June 5th, 2021 Jacquard looms revolutionized the weaving process by independently controlling each heddle’s position. That made it possible to weave complex patterns. But modern Jacquard looms are very expensive, because they require a solenoid or other means of actuation for each and every heddle. Lea Albaugh and her team at Carnegie […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesExtending a mobile AC unit’s exhaust duct with an air extractor Arduino Team — June 4th, 2021 Portable air conditioners are amazing, especially as we head into the hot summer months.
