Reading Time: 6 minutesMost machines warn you before they fail. A motor begins to vibrate differently. A pump slowly drifts out of balance. A bearing develops a new mechanical signature. A cooling fan starts producing frequencies that were not present during normal operation. These changes can appear well before a complete breakdown. The challenge is detecting them early, […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesVersion 0.56.0 of the Arduino® Core on Zephyr is live – and it’s a sizable update to the earlier release. Think optimized performance, expanded hardware capabilities. We’re still smoothing some edges towards the official Stable release, but if you’ve been testing the beta, prepare for a meaningful upgrade. Multimedia expansion: Arduino® GIGA Display Shield & […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen Manivannan moved to the UK from India, he found that the damp winters provide the perfect conditions for mold growth in the shower. The preventative solution is to run the ventilation fan when showering, but that is easy to forget. So, he built the AntiMould Shower Sentinel to ensure discipline. This device’s purpose is […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesA message from Arduino CPO – Marcello Majonchi Dear Builders, Engineers, and Innovators, Arduino is built on one belief: powerful technology should be accessible to everyone who wants to make, learn, or innovate with it. Staying true to that principle in every decision we make sometimes means making tough calls about what we charge for […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe Modulino family keeps growing, to allow you to easily expand your projects with new tiny modules that bring additional functionalities – in a snap! With Modulino Hub, Modulino Extender and Modulino Motors joining the range, you now have no less than 15 easy options to make building your next idea easier and more fun than […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe human brain is remarkably efficient, running on the caloric equivalent of about 20 watts of power. But that’s still about 20% of the total required for your entire body, which means your head can get pretty hot. Mike Warren does big thinking and to keep his brain from overheating, he built this helmet to […]
Reading Time: 7 minutesWhen talking about large language models (LLMs), people usually imagine a general-purpose assistant: something that can answer questions about weather, politics, software, history, travel, cooking, electronics – and almost any other topic. The model is expected to know a little bit about everything, follow open-ended conversations, and respond to a very broad range of prompts. […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesNobody enjoys doing inspections, but they’re a fact of life across many different industries. If you rent out moving trucks, for example, you need to do inspections before and after each rental, so you know if a customer damages something that needs to be addressed. But the logistics of those inspections are tricky and often […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesTopgolf has a pretty brilliant business model: let golfers do the fun stuff (driving balls at max power), without any of the complications, time commitments, or logistics of running through a full 18-hole course. Batting cages exist to do something similar for baseball, but Pete LeMaster didn’t want to practice batting — he wanted to […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesAn antenna’s physical properties are inextricably linked to its electromagnetic properties and how it radiates and receives radio waves. One of the simplest examples is extension, like with an old cell phone or FM radio antenna. But shape and structure can have more dramatic effects, which is why we have so many different kinds of […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesPost about a 3D printing problem — any 3D printing problem — online and all the top comments will be: “Is your filament dry?” That is a prudent question to ask, because filament that has absorbed moisture will wreak havoc on print quality and can even cause total print failure. If you want to keep […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesIn the world of FashionTech — a field that blends haute couture design and mechatronics engineering — nobody has more experience than Anouk Wipprecht. Her own creations are always intriguing, but she also mentors students to help them realize their own visions. As part of a collaboration between Summa Fashion and Fontys School of Engineering, […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Arduino UNO Q is here and it is a very exciting product that combines a Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB2210 processor and STM32U585 microcontroller, giving users the best of both worlds in a single convenient package. One of its best features is the ability of the SBC to send data seamlessly to the microcontroller for interfacing […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesIf you’ve been turning to ChatGPT to write your Arduino code, you may actually be missing out on a tool designed just for you: the Arduino AI Assistant, built directly into Arduino Cloud. While general-purpose AIs like ChatGPT can generate code, they often miss critical details, such as using the wrong libraries or adding unnecessary […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesFrom October 17th to 19th, the Gazometro Ostiense in Rome will once again become a playground for innovation as Maker Faire Rome returns to celebrate the brilliant minds turning ideas into reality. As a Gold Partner, we’ll be there with our biggest booth ever in Hall 41, bringing together people, projects, and a whole lot […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesAs virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) slowly grow in adoption, their shortcomings become more obvious. Most glaringly, they only engage users’ sense of sight and hearing. Haptic tactile feedback is almost non-existent and so picking up a “sword” in VR feels like picking up a VR controller, because that’s what you’re actually doing. […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesTactile displays — particularly for use as refreshable braille displays — have always been a challenge to design and fabricate, as they require so many moving parts. Every dot needs its own actuated mechanism and there needs to be dozens or hundreds of dots squeezed into a small space. Conventional micro actuators become very expensive […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesWe’re used to interacting with electronic technology that is cold, rigid, and overwhelmingly artificial. The device you’re reading this on doesn’t resemble anything found in nature and, consciously or not, you see it as something separate from the natural world. But what if the dividing boundary was less distinct? How would that affect the way […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesToday we’re sharing some truly exciting news: Arduino has entered into an agreement to join the Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. family! This is a huge step in our journey – one that allows us to keep growing, thriving, and making technology accessible to everyone, while bringing our values of openness, simplicity, and community spirit to an […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesOutside of playing board games, hourglasses are almost entirely pointless these days. And yet, they’re still incredibly satisfying. Watching the sand fall in a steady and consistent stream is downright mesmerizing. Sadly, you probably can’t make your own hourglass unless you happen to be very skilled at glassblowing. But you can create this LED hourglass […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise really likes to make figurative elements and metaphors quite literal, as shown in Dead Man’s Chest when the chest in question is shown to contain the actual beating heart of Davy Jones. That’s a fun visual that Grendel Studios’ Erik Finley turned into a real-life prop. The chest […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesMost model rockets don’t do anything practical — they just go up really fast and then come back down more slowly to land in a field somewhere. Those launches can still be a lot of fun to watch, but they aren’t exactly useful. However, the sky has plenty of data of worth monitoring and the […]
