Reading Time: 2 minutesThis machine creates images using Skittles as pixels Arduino Team — July 9th, 2019 Skittles candies come in various vibrant colors. While they may be a tasty treat, JohnO3 had another idea: to create an amazing automated display for the little circles. His device, dubbed the “Skittle Pixel8r,” uses an Arduino Mega to pull a […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesBuilding a direct conversion radio receiver Arduino Team — July 8th, 2019 After constructing a regen (regenerative) radio receiver several years ago, Michael LeBlanc decided to upgrade to a direct conversion receiver in order to gain some performance improvements as well as support AM and SSB signals between 160m and 20m. His build is based […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesStore and replay this robot’s movements from your phone Arduino Team — July 8th, 2019 Robotic arms can be interesting, as are robots that roll around—especially on a semi-exotic Mecanum wheel setup. Dejan Nedelkovski’s latest How To Mechatronics build, however, combines both into one package. This project actually starts out in a previous post, where […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesStar Trek TOS sickbay display on a breadboard Arduino Team — July 8th, 2019 The future envisioned in the original Star Trek included, among other things, a shipboard sickbay with electronic monitors strangely reminiscent of the machines that medical personnel use today. To recreate a functional mini-replica of these displays, YouTuber Xtronical turned to a 2.8” […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesRandom sticks made to walk under Arduino control Arduino Team — July 5th, 2019 What if you were to neglect a robot’s mechanical design entirely and instead construct it out of unusual materials like random sticks? Researchers from the University of Tokyo and Preferred Networks have done just that. To accomplish this feat, the engineers […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesLoRa security camera detects and transmits trespasser data Arduino Team — July 4th, 2019 Security cameras are a great way to deter theft and vandalism, but what if the camera is out of WiFi range, or otherwise would need long cables to transmit pictures? As explained here, Tegwyn Twmffat has an interesting solution–taking advantage of […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis electric soapbox car can reach a top speed of 35 km/h Arduino Team — July 2nd, 2019 If Elon Musk was to design a soapbox car, the prototype might look something like this by David Traum. Traum’s project is powered by a 500W motor which is fed by a pair of 12V batteries and […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesExperience the world like a cat with this whisker-style sensory extension Arduino Team — July 2nd, 2019 Imagine if you had whiskers. Obviously, this would make you something of an oddity in today’s society. On the other hand, you’d be able to sense nearby objects via the transmission of force through these hair structures. In […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesComputer 1.0 explores the relationship between textile and technology Arduino Team — July 1st, 2019 While you might have never considered the idea, looms—especially the punchcard-driven Jacquard loom, which helped inform both Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage’s pioneering work—are an important part of computing history. As reported here, Victoria Manganiello and Julian Goldman have created […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis Amazon engineer made an AI-powered flap to keep his cat’s “gifts” outside Arduino Team — July 1st, 2019 Amazon senior product manager Ben Hamm has a cat named Metric. While this adorable feline friend helped with a rat infestation problem in his apartment, he also likes to take his hunting skills out into nature, […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSmart motorcycle helmet lighting follows your signals Arduino Team — June 28th, 2019 When riding a motorcycle, it’s important to be seen, and if other vehicles can see your brake lights and turn signals as well, all the better. To help with visibility, YouTuber “MechTools” outfitted his helmet with a brake light and turn indicators […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteCycloid-O-Matic creates spirograph-like patterns Arduino Team — June 20th, 2019 If you’ve been waiting for a new way to generate geometric art, then be sure to check out the Cycloid-O-Matic from InventorArtist Darcy Whyte. This three-axis cycloid drawing machine is something of an update on the classic spirograph toy, but instead of (only) using an […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis robotic fish is powered by its own artificial circulatory system Arduino Team — June 20th, 2019 Hydraulically-actuated robots are nothing new, but normally they come with a battery or external supply of some sort. This lifelike robotic lionfish developed by Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania researchers, however, has its own artificial circulatory that […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesIntuitive Arduino clock has seven alarms and three LED displays Arduino Team — June 19th, 2019 Alarm clocks of old—and certainly many of those today—require several button pushes to set things up properly. Maker Michael Wessel, however, decided to implement his own take on a more intuitive clock, creating a device that features three separate […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesPortable Arduino Bot lets you test ideas on the go Arduino Team — June 19th, 2019 As you experiment with Arduino boards and programming, you’ll likely have ideas that you want to test right now. Unfortunately, you can’t always have the entire project with you to try out. With that in mind, Khang Nguyen has designed […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesSynchronized bike lighting inspired by nature Arduino Team — June 18th, 2019 Having a light on your bike at night is important for safety, but what if those headlights could talk to others sharing the road with you? Well now it can, using the [Bike] Swarm by Alex Berke, Thomas Sanchez, and Kent Larson from […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesA surfing “desk toy” that you can actually ride Arduino Team — June 18th, 2019 If you’ve ever played with desk toys portraying a beach with liquids that splash around, this project by Lena Strobel, Gabriel Rihaczek and Guillaume Caussarieu takes things up several levels as a surf simulator that you can actually ride. The […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesMicroscopic gigapixel photography with this X/Y stage setup Arduino Team — June 17th, 2019 Normally the 10-50 gigapixels of a DSLR are good enough for nearly any photo you can imagine, but if you need more—and don’t want to spend many thousands of dollars—then this clever setup by Jon Bumstead may be just the thing. […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis self-balancing mech is piloted by an insect Arduino Team — June 14th, 2019 You’ve seen self-balancing robots, where a pair of wheels suspend a mass above them in what’s known as an inverted pendulum configuration. As neat as they are, the “Augmented Arthropod” by Grzegorz Lochnicki and Nicolas Kubail Kalousdian puts a new spin […]
