Gardening is a prime application for smart automation, because plant care requires a lot of monitoring, but is relatively simple to execute. Large-scale agricultural operations are already highly automated, so why not do the same thing with your house plants? Giovanni Mannara (AKA Ingeimaks) did so in style by building this smart planter system that […]
There was a time when computers were exciting and fun. Now most of them feel like commodity appliances — no more interesting than a washing machine or a toaster. Joe longed for the good ol’ days of 8-bit personal computers, so he used a trio of Arduino development boards to design his own “fantasy computer.” […]
Factory lighting can be brutal. A label looks perfect from one angle and unreadable from another. A reflective pouch catches glare. A conveyor casts shadows. A package edge disappears under mixed LED lighting. Traditional industrial vision systems solve these very real problems, and that’s why they became expensive. However, many inspection tasks don’t require a […]
Carlo Prisco and Fabio Marchese from PriscoZen had a clear goal from the start: not a technical demo, but a real, working platform that could bring machine control, software logic, and visual quality inspection together in a single compact system. Something they could demonstrate live, evolve over time, and show that industrial automation doesn’t have […]
Makers and educators, we want to hear from you! Expert or novice, your perspective as an Arduino user matters – and right now, sharing it could win you something pretty special. We’ve put together a short user survey to better understand how the community uses what we have to offer, what’s working well, and where […]
Pen plotters used to be very common in the engineering world, as they were economical for “printing” large technical drawings. They’re still around, but digital-only workflows and alternative printing methods have reduced their presence. But Elliot Madsen is an engineering student fascinated by his discipline’s history, so he constructed his own pen plotter using an […]
A few months ago, UncleStem built a completely functional 7:1 scale Arduino UNO Rev3 development board. That was a big hit, for obvious reasons. But what can you do with an Arduino of that size? The answer is: create a matching 7:1 scale turtle robot for it to control. This is a great pairing, because […]
We’re releasing version 0.55.0 of the Arduino® Core on Zephyr today, and it’s a meaningful one. This update resolves one of the most common friction points users have reported, adds support for two widely-used libraries, and brings us noticeably closer to our June target for marking this core stable and ending the BETA program. Concurrently, […]
Documenting a project is just as much work as the project itself. Capturing photos and video, listing parts, and describing each step takes a lot of time — which is why so many people don’t bother. But that documentation is critical if you want to share your work, which is why Kevin McAleer had the […]
Bird feeders seem to attract both birds and squirrels in equal measure. But while birds tend to eat just a little when they’re peckish, squirrels are voracious and will happily gobble up all of the seeds — leaving nothing to entice birds. To keep the squirrels at bay, David Groom leveraged the Arduino® UNO™ Q […]
