Reading Time: 2 minutesPlaying the guitar is a great way to impress people at beach parties, but learning to play the guitar isn’t easy. Even grasping the basic theory is a big task and that’s before you even start to practice finger positioning and movement. That’s why Tolgahan Çogulu and Selçuk Keser built this Automatic Microtonal Guitar to […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe fantastic thing about Arduino boards and maker hardware as a whole is that they make creativity accessible. Just a few decades ago, it would take serious expertise and a generous budget to build even a simple robot. But with the technology available today, Parikshit Pagare was able to create this robot car that can […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesOctopus tentacles are, essentially, long continuous muscles — a bit like your tongue. That anatomy gives octopuses incredible dexterity, but it is very difficult to replicate in robots. Artificial “muscle” fiber isn’t very practical yet, which is why roboticists turn to more conventional means of actuation. Cable-driven tentacles are popular, but they require many powerful […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes“May the Fourth be with you” is one of those sayings that has been ingrained into our culture thanks to the popularity of Star Wars, and few things represent its impact more than the custom props, costumes, and projects that fans from around the world have constructed. To celebrate this year’s “holiday,” here is a […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesWe’re excited to announce the release of two new widgets to the Arduino IoT Cloud: the Value Selector and Value Dropdown Widgets. In this blog post, we’ll be exploring the benefits of the new widgets, how to use them, and how you can take advantage of this latest feature. The Arduino IoT Cloud dashboards The […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThere are a few approaches to making your own PCBs at home, and perhaps one of the most interesting yet potentially tedious methods involves making a UV-resistant mask and then etching away the non-copper areas with an acid bath. This etching step requires constantly moving the acid across the board’s surfaces for up to 30 […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesFor those aged 65 and over, falls can be one of the most serious health concerns they face either due to lower mobility or decreasing overall coordination. Recognizing this issue, Naveen Kumar set out to produce a wearable fall-detecting device that aims to increase the speed at which this occurs by utilizing a Transformer-based model […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesHazardous pollution in the form of excess CO2, nitrogen dioxide, microscopic particulates, and volatile organic compounds has become a growing concern, especially in developing countries where access to cleaner technologies might not be available or widely adopted. Krazye Karthik’s Environmental Sense Mask (ES-Mask) focuses on bringing attention to these harmful compounds by displaying ambient air quality measurements […]
Reading Time: 5 minutesEnergy crises are nothing new, but they’re always painful. Right now, the world is dealing with a serious energy crisis that has led to skyrocketing utility bills, economic uncertainty, and widespread questions about how we supply our homes with power. One of the biggest questions being asked right now is, “how do we avoid this […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesA tachometer is a device that display the speed of a rotating object. The most well-known example is the automotive tachometer, which shows a driver the RPM of the engine — information that is particularly useful when the car has a manual transmission. But there are many other uses for tachometers and this tutorial from […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesGetting started in the world of robotics can be a very challenging task, even for more experienced hobbyists, due to how difficult it can be to achieve smooth and precise motion through programming. Frustrated by the lack of accessible options, the YouTuber known as “Build Some Stuff” decided to not only design his own, but to do it […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen a baby cries, it is almost always due to something that is wrong, which could include, among other things, hunger, thirst, stomach pain, or too much noise. In his project, Nurgaliyev Shakhizat demonstrated how he was able to leverage ML tools to build a cry-detection system without the need for collecting real-world data himself. The process is […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesJames Bruton has become something of a YouTube sensation by experimenting with unusual drive mechanisms for his robots. While he does do other things, most of his projects seem to focus on designing, building, and evaluating drive types that are far outside of the norm. His newest project is no different. It is a single-track […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesIf you aren’t part of that world, you may be making the mistake of thinking that art galleries are full of boring paintings for stuffy socialites. In reality, there are all kinds of different art galleries and some of them have some pretty interesting pieces. Kinetic art is always the most exciting, as demonstrated by […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe’re happy to share that version 2.1 of the Arduino IDE is out! Among the many updates and fixes, this latest release includes two main highlights: A full redesign of the Library Manager panel, which is now more usable and clear, along with an improved search engine. A full redesign of the integration with Arduino […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesAs a part of his new raised garden bed project, Shawn Murphy was looking for ways to improve his backyard even further with intelligent IoT systems. Apart from the existing 1800W solar panel array, he also wanted a device that could report current weather and soil conditions in real-time and even perform some watering tasks without the need for […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesFor our younger readers: the Furby is a toy released in 1998 by Tiger Electronics and that saw tremendous success in the following years. Each Furby is a little animatronic creature that resembles the Mogwai from the Gremlins films, but more colorful. When first unboxed, they speak “Furbish,” but then transition to English. While they speak, they […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesHave you ever exited a dark movie theater in the middle of the afternoon and found yourself blinded by the sudden transition to bright sunlight? Etienne Leroy faces the same problem after watching a movie on his home projector and turning on the lights. Because those lights are intense and instantly come on at full […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhile brainstorming gift ideas, Professor Boots settled upon creating a tiny present-delivering robot that could move around on its own power. Because WALL-E’s design already has a built-in compartment and is quite memorable, it became the jumping off point for the project. The entire robot is 3D-printed from a combination of rigid PLA for the housing and flexible […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesWhat’s the most important substance in the world? After the air we breathe, the answer is almost certainly water. We need it to live, we can’t go more than a few days without it, and it makes up about 60% of our bodies. All this just makes it even more worrying that in many parts […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesHam radio allows for the broadcast and reception of non-commercial radio signals across vast distances with relatively inexpensive equipment. As the name implies, ham radio relies on antennas to function, and most designs can take up large amounts of space. An alternative antenna is the magnetic loop design which has a tall circle of copper […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhether it is a library, conference room, school classroom, or some other public space, we all require peace and quiet to work sometimes, but achieving it can be a challenge. After wondering if loudmouths could be automatically asked to be silent via some kind of sensor-driven system, Bas op ten Berg, the founder of BotBerg, chose […]
