Build your own 4DOF robotic arm on a budget

Robot arms are very cool and can be quite useful, but they also tend to be expensive. That isn’t just markup either, because the components themselves are pricey. However, you can save a lot of money if you make some sacrifices and build everything yourself. In that case, you can follow Ruben Sanchez’s tutorial to […]

Toss-launching drones is hard — this automatic launcher does it better

Typically, consumer drones take off from the ground or some other solid surface. But that isn’t very cinematic and toss launches — when the pilot throws the drone up into the air — are a lot more interesting to watch. Sadly, NickFPV isn’t very good at tossing his drone and that invites ridicule in his […]

This robotic tongue drummer bangs out all the ambient hits

If you like to listen to those “deep focus” soundtracks that are all ambient and relaxing, then you’ve heard a tongue drum in action. A tongue drum, or tank drum, is a unique percussion instrument traditionally made from an empty propane cylinder — though purpose-built models are now common. Several tongues are cut into one […]

Using an Arduino Nicla Vision as a drone flight controller

Drone flight controllers do so much more than simply receive signals and tell the drone which way to move. They’re responsible for constantly tweaking the motor speeds in order to maintain stable flight, even with shifting winds and other unpredictable factors. For that reason, most flight controllers are purpose-built for the job. But element14’s Milos […]

This DIY standing desk controller provides luxury car-style memory settings

One of the best features you’ll find on a fancy luxury car is seat position memory. Typically, there are at least two profiles that “save” the position of the seat. When switching drivers, the new seat occupant can simply push the button for their profile and the seat will automatically move to their saved position. […]

This Arduino failsafe protects an amazing backyard observatory

Nothing quite compares to the feeling of looking up at the cosmos on a dark night, and even an affordable telescope can enhance that experience. But if you’re willing to spend the time and money, you can take things much further. That’s what Redditor CosmicRuin did when they built an amazing backyard observatory. And they […]

Meet Pico: A smart companion robot with vision

Drawing upon the design and behaviors of the BD-1 droid from Star Wars, Mateo Jarquin of the YouTube channel MateoTechLab has adapted it into a shoulder-mounted animatronic named “Pico” that can constantly interact with the wearer. All movement, sound generation, and lighting are handled by an Arduino Nano Every board embedded inside a custom 3D-printed […]

What can you do with Arduino and a new 3D printer?

When 3D printing matured from an industrial edge case to a mainstream commercial technology in the 2010s, it captured the imaginations of everyone from schoolteachers to fashion designers. But if there’s one group that really, really got excited about 3D printing, it was makers. When 3D printers became commercially available, they knew that everything was […]

Recreating a bizarre century-old electronic instrument

There are a handful of instruments that are staples of modern music, like guitars and pianos. And then there are hundreds of other instruments that were invented throughout history and then fell into obscurity without much notice. The Luminaphone, invented by Harry Grindell Matthews and unveiled in 1925, is a particularly bizarre example. Few people […]
