Reading Time: < 1 minute“Magical” fountain bends time under Arduino control Arduino Team — July 16th, 2018 Years ago, engineer and photographer Harold “Doc” Edgerton figured out how to “bend time” by pulsing a strobe light at the nearly the same speed as droplets of water, making them appear to move in slow motion, freeze, or even more backwards. […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAn Arduino “Whack-a-Button” Reaction Game Arduino Team — July 16th, 2018 After Instructables user R0RSHACH’s son won a place at the World Scout Jamboree in 2019, the maker decided to create a fairground-style game for fundraising. The resulting device is akin to a Whack-a-Mole or Batak game that can be found at high-end gyms, and features eight […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesimPulse is an energy harvesting alternative for bicycles Arduino Team — July 16th, 2018 Javier Betancor is developing a system that collects power as you ride a bike, with the goal of powering data collection and lighting. “imPulse” uses a stepper motor for power generation, along with a geared hub to make the motor spin at […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteStepper motor utilized as a rotary encoder with Arduino Arduino Team — July 16th, 2018 Stepper motors work by alternating a series of magnets in order to rotate its shaft by a certain angle. When the shaft is manually twisted, these magnets produce an electrical signal in a predictable pattern, which as shown in the […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesDual ultrasonic sensors combine for 2D echolocation Arduino Team — July 13th, 2018 Ultrasonic sensors are great tools for measuring linear distance or object presence. As shown in this experiment by “lingib,” two sensors can also be combined to determine not just linear distance to a sensor, but its position in an X/Y plane. For his […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesMorse code input for Android with Arduino Arduino Team — July 12th, 2018 Morse code may not be as widely used as in its heyday, but it still certainly has its adherents. One avid user is Tanya Finlayson, who has been using this as her method of communication for roughly 40 years. Now, with the […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesCamera questions user, saves photographic response Arduino Team — July 12th, 2018 Cultural probes aim to elicit unique responses by asking people to respond to a question, many times in the form of a photograph. While disposable cameras once worked quite nicely for this purpose, their relative rarity today meant a new digital alternative was […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesAudio preamplifier with tiny OLED display and unique case Arduino Team — July 11th, 2018 As spotted here, Sam Izdat decided to make a preamplifier for a friend who provides voice talent for audiobooks and the like. The primary audio circuitry for the build is provided by a purchased PCB based on the INA217 chip […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesRobot transforms to slide under doors and more Arduino Team — July 11th, 2018 While the STAR, or Sprawl Turned Autonomous Robot, is more than capable of traveling over obstacles with its three-pointed wheels, it can also make itself thin enough to simply slide under others as needed. This clever design uses an Arduino Pro […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesTell time on a three-module voltmeter clock Arduino Team — July 11th, 2018 Father’s Day 2018 has come and gone, but it’s never too early to start planning for next year. As seen here, Michael Teeuw decided to build a clock out of three analog voltmeters for his dad in 2017. After getting sidetracked last […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesBucky Glow is an Arduino-controlled LED dodecahedron Arduino Team — July 3rd, 2018 After successfully building a gigantic geometric interactive light structure, Jonathan Bumstead decided to do things in a more approachable manner, creating a more a reasonably-sized dodecahedron controlled by an Arduino Nano. The device, named “Bucky Glow,” uses 11 RGB LEDs to light […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteRobotic Connect Four lets you play remotely Arduino Team — July 3rd, 2018 In order to restore some tactile feeling to remotely-played board games, maker “lyudatan” created a pair of Arduino Uno-based Connect Four robots. When a player makes a move by dropping a disc into a slot, this is recorded by an IR proximity […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesAn auto-curing chamber for SLA prints Arduino Team — July 3rd, 2018 If you have a 3D printer, it’s probably the fused deposition modeling (FDM) type that deposits melted material onto a bed, eventually building up whatever you had in mind.
