Reading Time: 2 minutesAll you knead to know Trent decided to take on the challenge of designing a product to meet his culinary needs, and was sure that he wanted to incorporate a small Peltier cooler in his project, as his friend Scott Hutchinson had given him the idea on a camping trip. “He happened to be a […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteCan’t find a pulse oximeter? Create your own! Arduino Team — April 17th, 2020 As John Keefe notes in his project writeup, at-home pulse oximeters — which monitor the oxygen saturation in your blood — have been selling out due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While you could try hunt around and find one, he decided […]
Reading Time: 7 minutesIn the previous tutorial, we looked at setting up Raspberry Shake, a geophone-based earthquake detector and checking out data with the web-based ShakeNet service. See: Build a Seismograph with Raspberry Shake Our shake has been running for a while now and we’ve gathered together some data on earthquake activity in our local area. We don’t live […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis Arduino project lets you see your heartbeat Arduino Team — April 16th, 2020 It’s easy enough to check your heart rate, but Sharath Naik has designed a project that actually lets you see it instead. The roughly heart-shaped, 3D-printed device sits on a pedestal with four sections that are pushed out in response to […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesNEW! A remote teaching platform that supports learning at home with Arduino Arduino Team — April 15th, 2020 COVID-19 is playing a huge role in everything we do. With schools closed and a large number of countries under total lockdown, we want to support educators, parents, and students with hands-on electronic, programming, and coding lessons […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteElectromechanical 7-segment clock made with an Arduino and 28 servos Arduino Team — April 15th, 2020 Digital clocks are often made out of a series of 7-segment displays, which light up to represent the needed numbers. Michael Klements’ electromechanical project, however, doesn’t use LEDs, but instead physically flips 3D-printed segments into view with 28 micro […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis Kickstarter project brought to life was the idea of a Sania Jain, a 13-year-old who wanted to introduce coding to younger kids where possible. To that end, the all-important add-on board part of the kit includes a series of sensors, LEDs, as well as that big three-digit, seven-segment display. Quick build Unlike a pi-top […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis infinity mirror coffee table puts other living room furniture to shame Arduino Team — April 13th, 2020 Coffee tables generally sit between a couch and TV, providing a convenient place to set your cup, snack, or magazine. As proven by Redditor Procupine however, with the addition of an Arduino Mega and a “mere” 600 LEDs, this piece […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesGreg’s Harp is an Arduino-powered robotic string instrument Arduino Team — April 12th, 2020 Frank Piesik recently designed a robotic three-stringed instrument for his friend, Gregor, that features a unique sound and mechanical arrangement. Notes are selected by an array of 12 servos — four for each string — which pull down using a loop […]
