Imagine, however, trying to control four drones simultaneously. While also “challenging,” researchers at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesRip current lighting system enhances water safety Arduino Team — September 30th, 2019 Drowning is the third leading cause of accidental death in New Zealand, and the vast majority of lifeguard rescues are due to rip currents—hard to observe unless you’re already in peril. In order to help fix this problem, Victoria University of Wellington […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesMeasuring a mini steam engine’s speed with Arduino Arduino Team — September 30th, 2019 Joop Brokking has been experimenting with a miniature candle-powered steam engine. It’s an amazing little device, able to push a piston over and over to turn a flywheel, releasing the steam via a mechanically-controlled valve. But just how fast does it […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThese LEGO linkage walkers wander under Arduino control Arduino Team — September 27th, 2019 YouTuber Oracid1 has developed a unique family of four-legged robots, dubbed “FiveBarQuads.” The quadrupeds all feature ultrasonic sensing for navigation and a body made out of LEGO components — and as seen in the first video below, his latest (and largest) […]
