Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis Arduino-controlled soft robot gets around like an earthworm Arduino Team — September 28th, 2020 After studying the way a worm wiggles, Nicholas Lauer decided to create his own soft robotic version. What he came up with uses an Arduino Uno for control, inflating six 3D-printed segments sequentially to order to generate peristaltic motion for […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAutomate 35mm film scanning with Arduino and Python Arduino Team — September 24th, 2020 While taking photos today is normally a digital affair, there is a wealth of visual information stored on film negatives. Digitization is possible, but it tends to be rather time-intensive, so photographer/hacker Seckin Sinan Isik decided to automate the process. His setup […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesLearning Greek with an arcade-style vocabulary reviewer Arduino Team — September 24th, 2020 Learning a new language is always a challenge, but can also be extremely rewarding. To help with this task — specifically learning Greek — Angeliki Beyko created an arcade-style review machine. Her device cleverly uses a sheet of pegboard to hold the […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteMaking a random sound diffuser with Arduino Arduino Team — September 23rd, 2020 Humans are generally quite bad at coming up with random patterns, so when Jeremy Cook wanted to make a sound diffuser with angled blocks of wood, he created a “pseudorandomness console” using an Arduino Uno and an LCD shield. This helped him […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteConvert an old cassette player into a synthesizer Arduino Team — September 22nd, 2020 Cassettes (if you remember those) are normally used to play back music and other audio, but what about using an old Walkman-style tape player as the instrument itself? That’s exactly what this project by Zack Scholl allows you to do, varying the playback speed […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThese geodesic RGB LED spheres are absolutely stunning Arduino Team — September 21st, 2020 While this project took him over 100 hours to complete, creator Whity claims that his glowing geodesic domes were worth the effort. As seen below, each dome is able to light up its triangular faces, using via WS2812B programmable LEDs embedded […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA MKR ZERO-based volume controller for your PC Arduino Team — September 18th, 2020 While some keyboards provide media keys or even knobs to adjust your overall computer sound up and down, often what you really want is the ability to tune program volumes separately. To make this extremely easy, SNR Tech Bytes has come up […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesMonitor water quality anywhere in the world with WaterAid Arduino Team — September 18th, 2020 Clean water is one of our most precious resources, but identifying sources of pollution often means expensive equipment. This can also mean taking multiple water quality readings and somehow aggregating them together to be easily usable. As a solution to […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteKAUDA is a low-cost, highly-efficient robotic arm Arduino Team — September 16th, 2020 Would you like your own industrial robot arm, but don’t have tens of thousands of dollars to spend? You could instead build Giovanni Lerda’s KAUDA, a five-axis device that uses under 800g of PLA, an Arduino Mega, and other off-the-shelf parts. KAUDA […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesOptical drive plays large wooden discs Arduino Team — September 16th, 2020 Optical media normally contains information in the form of 1s and 0s that are much too small to be seen by the human eye. This can make understanding their operation less than straightforward. To solve this problem, Jon Bumstead constructed an Arduino Nano-controlled […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesMagpie MIDI is an adaptive harmonica-style computer interface Arduino Team — September 15th, 2020 For those with certain physical restrictions, interfacing with a computer can be a difficult task. As a possible solution, Shu Takahashi and Pato Montalvo have come up with the Magpie MIDI hands-free interface. The adaptive tool, inspired in part by a harmonica, has […]
