PsyLink is a low-cost, non-invasive EMG interface based on the Nano 33 BLE Sense
Non-invasive EMG interfaces have the potential to solve many problems that afflict those who suffer from a disability or simply want a more efficient way to perform a task. This is what led one maker, who goes by the name “Hut,” to create their own open source device called PsyLink. It works by measuring the minute […]

’80s-style home computer made from scratch using an Arduino Due
As a continuation from his previous Arduino BASIC interpreter project, Stefan Lenz wanted to take things a step further by recreating a home computer from the 1980s with an Arduino Due board and just a few other components. His system combines a 7″ 800 x 480 TFT screen, an SD card reader acting as the disk, and a […]
Cosmic background radiation dice for your next game night
In the aftermath of the Big Bang, a cloud of charged particles, referred to as the cosmic microwave background radiation, was left over. This can not only be detected by advanced scientific equipment, but also by a Geiger counter. iSax aimed to use this idea for a novel virtual dice that measures the truly random amount of time it […]
PVC pipe plotter prints pretty pictures
Instructables user tuenhidiy wanted to create a new kind of CNC plotter that was unlike nearly all of the others you’ve seen. Rather than use aluminum extrusions or wood, this machine is constructed from various pieces of PVC pipe all cut to exact lengths, hence its name, the “CoreXZ Puzzle Pipe Plotter.” Electronics wise, the […]
Neatly fold your t-shirts with an Arduino-powered robot
Folding t-shirts isn’t a fun process for many people, and even worse, it’s difficult to get them looking the exact same way when the pile of folded clothing is completed. So in order to make it easier, mechanical engineering students Pietro Oppici, Corentin Vandebroek, Stefano Pontoglio, and Quentin Bertieaux set out to build a robot of their […]
This Samsung Ballie-inspired spherical robot gets around on a couple of wheels
Back in early 2020, Samsung demonstrated their Ballie robot concept at CES, and although it never got off the ground, it inspired Derek Lieber to create his own version of a gyroscopically stabilized robot that moves with a pair of hemispherical “wheels” on each side. Lieber’s project, which he calls “Ballbot2”, is based around a single Arduino Mega […]
Homemade thermal battery system keeps the shop cool with Arduino
When trying to cool off a space, most people reach for an air conditioning unit that uses a pump, compressor, refrigerant, and a radiator to move heat from inside a room to the outside air. But in a break from this typical model, YouTuber Curtis in Seattle came up with a system that pumps water between […]
Top 10 Arduino blog posts of 2021
To say it’s been another challenging year would be an understatement, but it’s reassuring to see that the top 10 Arduino blog posts of 2021 show us that makers have persevered, undaunted. As we sprint headlong into 2022 with hope for a return to normality (whatever that might actually look like!) we wanted to cast […]

This gear turns only once every 346 quintillion years
Mechanical advantage is the single most important principle in mechanical engineering. Archimedes is quoted as saying “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” We could say the same of gear reductions, but they have the added advantage of fitting into a very […]
