[Steve Hoefer] shared an interesting solution for visually impaired people. It measures the distance to things and translates that into pressure on the wrist.[…] It’s wrist mounted and senses objects from about 1 inch (2 cm) to 10 feet (3.5m). It has generally fast response time (fractions of a second) to quickly navigate complex environments. It’s not the […]
[Micha] has a washing machine with an inaccurate time data displayed on the front panel. How to solve this? Since it is located in his basement, he hated having to check on the machine continually to know when his clothes were done. Instead of hauling up and down the stairs over and over, he decided […]
Arduino forum user [Blibo] shares its 2.4 Ghz spectrum analyzer project on the forum. The project is based on the CYWM6935 board (wireless), an Atmega 328 and a Nokia 5110 LCD- I finished the (mostly) permanent version of my 2.4ghz spectrum analyzer, and soldered it up. I included 3 modes for scanning (fast, slow, and […]
Sebastian Alegria, a 14 years old Chilean teen created an earthquake warning system based on Arduino, an earthquake detector (bought for less 100 $) and an ethernet shield. Alegria’s rudimentary yet effective system comes from having survived Chile’s own earthquakes last year and seeing the devastation that covered Japan earlier this year. Keen on finding […]
Riportiamo qui di seguito il tutorial su come realizzare il proprio contachilometri, pubblicato su Wired di Giugno. A realizzarlo sono stati due membri della community: Vittorio Zuccalà con il supporto di Enkel Bici. Per realizzarlo hanno usato una Arduino Uno, un SD shield di Sparkfun e una Reed Switch (sostituibile anche da un Hall Sensor). […]
Some time ago the guys at Fablab Italia in Turin joined a city exhibition of art, design and related. The exhibition is hosted in Vanchiglia, a neighborhood of Turin, and it’s called Vanchiglia Open Lab (LOV). The project they managed to bring to the Open Lab is really interesting: a digital lathe which lets you […]
Nice article from Elisabeth Fish enumerating different geeky things we’ve seen lately, from rainbowduino table to the household informer : Fancy a home with some stylish and geeky home improvements? OK, you’ve got the geek gear. You’ve got the geek garb. But have you got the geek house? Read on as GeekTech shows you how to […]
Most of people working in the field of biological or scientific research should greet the open hardware applications we are witnessing in this age of Garage Science. From the Phduino to the DIY Oscilloscopes, through STM (Scanning-Tunneling Electron Microscope), Arduino is getting used to prototype tools that used to be more expensive and possibly unavailable […]
Nice step-by-step guide to lets you set up a project that taked care of your field while you’re away: This summer I wanted to combine my two loves of plant science and engineering. Thus I am constructing my very own greenhouse in my backyard. I am an undergrad, and as any former student knows, this […]
