See how Nikodem Bartnik integrated LIDAR room mapping into his DIY robotics platform
Reading Time: 2 minutes Arduino Team — January 31st, 2022 As part of his ongoing autonomous robot project, YouTuber Nikodem Bartnik wanted to add LIDAR mapping/navigation functionality so that his device could see the world in much greater resolution and actively avoid obstacles. In short, LIDAR works by sending out short pulses of invisible light and measuring how much time it takes for…… Continue reading See how Nikodem Bartnik integrated LIDAR room mapping into his DIY robotics platform
Hacking a USB battery bank to gather telemetry
Reading Time: 2 minutes Arduino Team — November 17th, 2021 USB battery banks are a dime-a-dozen and useful for recharging all of those devices in your life. But the typical cheap battery banks don’t provide you with much information about their status. You usually just get a few LEDs that provide a very general idea of how much battery…… Continue reading Hacking a USB battery bank to gather telemetry
This MKR WiFi 1010-based weather station sends readings to the Arduino Cloud
Reading Time: 2 minutes Arduino Team — November 13th, 2021 Constructing your very own IoT weather monitoring station can be a complicated ordeal, as getting values from the embedded device to some kind of web server in a secure manner takes a lot of effort and time to complete. For his system, Clem Mayer from element14 Presents was able…… Continue reading This MKR WiFi 1010-based weather station sends readings to the Arduino Cloud
Vital Care is an Arduino-based device for the continuous monitoring of vital signs
Reading Time: 2 minutes Arduino Team — August 24th, 2021 It is probably well known by now that COVID-19 can cause serious side effects in people that last for months at time, meaning that recovering from the disease can be an arduous process. Some symptoms include trouble breathing, heart inflammation, and blood clotting, so being able to track these…… Continue reading Vital Care is an Arduino-based device for the continuous monitoring of vital signs
This overengineered robotic clock will not be underappreciated
Reading Time: < 1 minutes Arduino Team — August 17th, 2021 Normally when an inexpensive wall clock stops ticking, you simply buy a new one. However, ‘Developer Hendrik’ decided to bring his broken clock back to life, or some semblance thereof, using a 3D-printed four-axis robot arm dubbed “Serworm Michael.” Under the control of a MKR 1010 WiFi and DYNAMIXEL MKR…… Continue reading This overengineered robotic clock will not be underappreciated
