Every garage needs a refrigerator to keep drinks cold during sweaty projects, but Rick Fryar’s Sanyo mini fridge was on the blink. Seemingly at random, it would either run the condenser constantly until everything was frozen, or not run the condenser at all. To get it working again without spending a fortune, Fryar used an […]
To mark Arduino’s 20th anniversary, the IEEE Student Branch at the University of Padua organized a special competition that challenged students to push the boundaries of what’s possible. The summer-long contest culminated in a presentation on November 19th at the Department of Information Engineering, where three teams showcased projects ranging from gesture-controlled vehicles to environmental […]
At Arduino, we love seeing creative people use technology in unexpected ways – especially when it shows how accessible tools can empower anyone to bring their idea to life. That includes artists, designers, performers, and people who don’t see themselves as “technical” at all. That’s why we’re proud to have supported Davide Sgambaro and his […]
Post 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 […]
Back in September, we introduced the new provisioning flow on Arduino Cloud, starting with the UNO R4 WiFi. It means that you can now connect and configure your UNO R4 WiFi on Arduino Cloud straight from your phone, with the IoT Remote app. It’s a game changer, making your device setup faster, smoother, and cable-free. […]
This summer in Berlin, a group of artists, designers, and curious minds gathered around a creative question: What can parasites teach us about robotics? Led by Salvador Marino, a transdisciplinary artist with a PhD in biology, the workshop “Parasites and Robotics” invited participants to explore the intersection of biology, sci-fi, and open-source hardware – all […]
We’re seeing a substantial turn towards online social interaction replacing in-person social interaction — especially among the younger generations. That was exacerbated and accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. But mountains of research show that physical touch is critical to a person’s mental wellbeing and online interactions haven’t been able to provide that. One solution may […]
The whole point of a robot is that it can operate without direct control input from an operator. Except there are many exceptions and it isn’t uncommon for roboticists and operators to require direct control. The Tinkering Techie needed to add that capability to his rover robot and built his own Wi-Fi controller that also […]
We all love the immense convenience provided by robot vacuum cleaners, but what happens when they get too old to function? Rather than throwing it away, Milos Rasic from element14 Presents wanted to extract the often-expensive components and repurpose them into an entirely new robot, inspired by the TurtleBot3: the PlatypusBot. Rasic quickly got to […]
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 […]
