Ever wanted to take control of your (or better, sombody else’s) body via electrical signals, University of Tokyo’s research exprerimented about this. The experimental device is actually called the PossessedHand, and controls your digits by shooting small electric currents into your wrist via electrodes strapped to your forearm. The PossessedHand runs on an Arduino micro-controller, […]
[Alex TC] from [Bricogeek] posted a tutorial about how to interface Arduino and Android replacing the ADK shield by Google with commonc sensors and actuators. [few days ago] ADK was presented on Google’s blog, a platform that enables communication between Android and Arduino. The downside was that the development kit costs around 300 €. Today […]

Arduino Forum User [UnaClocker] shared a cool hack on its Maytag dishwasher: The control panel on the front of it died, it failed from corrosion getting into the laminated plastic PCB that it’s made up of. Not really repairable, just meant to be replaced, except that it’s a $150 part. From what I could find […]
As seen in the streaming of Google IO 2011, physical computing and interactive enviroments are one of the main topics opening the conference. The Android Open Accessory Kit is going to allow Android related devices receive data from different sensors (just via USB, for now). The Android Open Accessory Development Kit (ADK) provides an implementation […]
As lately reported by Arduino blog, there is a common, strong effort to visualize nuclear radiation data. RDTN.org (a collective voice helping others stay informed) kickstarted the enpowerement of the project by purchasing up to 600 Geiger Counter devices. 16 days to go. Support. RDTN.org is a website whose purpose is to provide an aggregate […]
There are at least three of our distributors working against the clock to create new geiger shields in an attempt to provide people in Japan with tools for self-measuring radiation levels as we have been reporting earlier. Libelium, from Zaragoza, Spain, released one yesterday with one of the most comprehensive guides I have seen so […]

Japan’s difficoult moment has challenged many Arduino users (I can count at least three different threads on the forum about geiger tube & sensors lately 1, 2, 3). As David posted some time ago, the need of an open, net-spreaded visualization of the real level of radioactivity was heavily felt by the community, also for […]
I am not sure we have been echoing these news, so I am going to write a short blog post after having a chat with Shigeru Kobayashi, the maker of the Arduino FIO, Gainer board and Funnel IO. A small community of Japanese makers are building a network of sensors monitoring the radiation in the […]
