Reading Time: < 1 minuteThomas the Tank Engine turned into a karaoke robot Arduino Team — August 13th, 2018 When Hunter Irving spotted a knockoff Thomas the Tank Engine toy at a thrift store, he simply had to buy it, telling himself that he’d turn it into an animatronic contraption at some point. While these kind of promises often […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesElectric-powered fan rocket takes off and lands(?) vertically Arduino Team — August 13th, 2018 Does a rocket need to use a certain type of fuel, or even be capable of spaceflight? While James Bruton’s build might not fit everyone’s definition of this type of craft because of its electric ducted fan (EDF) propulsion, it does […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteCheck the weather on this Arduino-controlled split-flap display Arduino Team — August 9th, 2018 Split-flap displays show information using characters changed by an electric motor. While they’ve largely been replaced by more modern means, hobbyists like “gabbapeople” have been keeping this this technique alive, in this case as a four-character IoT weather display. The device […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesAutomate motor winding with Arduino Arduino Team — August 7th, 2018 When you want to make a mobile robot, DC motors can be a great choice. We normally accept that they can be purchased for a few dollars each, but what if you want to make your own? In order to assist with the winding […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteFeed Barbie with the J’ai faim! mechatronic game Arduino Team — August 7th, 2018 According to this project’s write-up, while some struggle to get enough nourishment, those in more developed countries often aspire to consume too little food. As an apparent commentary on this situation, Niklas Roy and Kati Hyyppä have created a mechatronic game […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteGenerating waves with Arduino Arduino Team — August 6th, 2018 Need a wave generator to test out your latest boat, barge, or submarine design, but can’t quite afford one? If so, then you might consider Subham Bhatt’s DIY tank that he was able to construct for around $1,200 USD. Bhatt’s device features a pair of […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesDevelophead takes (some) of the work out of film photography Arduino Team — August 6th, 2018 Today, if you take a photograph, more than likely it’s digital. This presents many advantages over its film counterpart, but many serious photographers still use the format in order to produce just the right effect. Pablo Zárate is one […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteNotable Board Books are an Arduino-powered way to enjoy music Arduino Team — August 6th, 2018 Annelle Rigsby found that her mother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, is delighted to hear familiar songs. While Annelle can’t always be there to help her enjoy music, she and her husband Mike came up with what they call the […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA time-telling web powered by Arduino Arduino Team — August 2nd, 2018 Flament bulbs, commonly known as Edison bulbs, contain a variety of interesting LED lights. So interesting, in fact, that maker Andy Pugh decided to take these individual components up and turn them into a 7-segment display clock. While making a clock isn’t an […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesIngenious marble clock runs on Arduino Arduino Team — August 1st, 2018 Arduino boards and custom clock builds seem to be a great match, as illustrated by Görkem Bozkurt’s recent project. His 3D-printed marble clock uses a stepper-driven gear mechanism to lift 11mm steel spheres to the device’s top chute. The spheres then roll down […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesLight painting rig is a masterpiece of artistic hardware hacking Arduino Team — July 30th, 2018 Light painting is an art form where dark areas are selectively lit to form interesting effects. While normally a manual operation, Josh Sheldon has come up with a rig to automate and enhance the process. The results are nothing short […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesCeiling-mounted cable robot with Arduino Mega Arduino Team — July 30th, 2018 Cable-based robots are a common sight at sporting events as remote camera operators, but what about one for your living room? As spotted on Reddit, Nathaniel Nifong decided there was no reason not to have one of these devices, and made his own […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteStop motion short filmed with the help of Arduino Arduino Team — July 30th, 2018 One can imagine that making a stop motion animation film is a lot of work, but if you’ve ever wondered what one involves, James Wilkinson decided to document the process of making Billy Whiskers: The Mystery of the Misplaced Trowel. […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesSingle-handed smartwatch text entry with WrisText Arduino Team — July 26th, 2018 Smartwatches can keep us informed of incoming information at a glance, but responding still takes the use of another hand, potentially occupied by other tasks.
