When you purchase a spool of thread or wire, you expect it to be relatively uniform, spun in place with automated machinery that has been developed over hundreds of years. Researchers from MIT’s Media Lab, however, have come up with what could be the next step in this type of equipment’s development. Known as “WraPr,” […]
This article was written by César Garcia, researcher at La Hora Maker. SARS-CoV-2 virus has been spreading around the world since December 2019. The virus causes a coronavirus disease 2019, also known as COVID-19. This respiratory illness can cause a severe acute respiratory syndrome. Critical patients often require a ventilator during their stay at Intensive […]
Vintage typewriters are truly amazing pieces of technology, but unlike modern keyboards, they are decidedly one-purpose machines. William Sun Petrus, however, had other ideas for his 1920s-era Remington Portable typewriter, augmenting hammers with wires as inputs to an Arduino Mega. Input signals are produced when each key strikes a metallic “live plate” in the center, […]
In our last post, we told you that the Arduino CLI’s primary goal is to provide a flexible yet simple command line tool with all the features and ease of use that made Arduino a successful platform, and enable users to find new ways of improving their workflows. The Arduino CLI is not just a […]
Toilet paper is a hot commodity these days, and if you’re loathe to fight with actual people over these rolls, then Jelle Vermandere’s game could be the next best thing. While the game can be enjoyed on your browser, what really sets it apart from other (?) hoarding sims is that it can also be […]
Will Cogley, known for his awesome animatronics, has created a robotic mouth that’s already a work of art and could form the basis of something even more amazing. The device features an array of servo mechanisms to actuate its jaw, forceps, cheeks, and a tongue. The cheek assemblies are particularly interesting, employing two servos each […]
For TEDx Copenhagen 2019, MAKESOME was contacted about building a trash can. Not just any ordinary waste bin, however, but one that would fit in with their theme of “expect the unexpected” by driving around and being rude to participants. From the video, the bot looks like it was a great success, and something that […]
As more of us have restrictions on leaving our houses, the time we take away from physical social interactions (namely “going out”) is put back into extracurricular activities. We catch up with old hobbies and bring new ones into our lives. While baking is proving to be one of the most popular ones, testified by […]
As John Keefe notes in his project writeup, at-home pulse oximeters — which monitor the oxygen saturation in your blood — have been selling out due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While you could try hunt around and find one, he decided to instead make his own device using a SparkFun Pulse Oximeter and Heart Rate […]
It’s easy enough to check your heart rate, but Sharath Naik has designed a project that actually lets you see it instead. The roughly heart-shaped, 3D-printed device sits on a pedestal with four sections that are pushed out in response to your pulse. The visualizer utilizes a servo and linkage system to physically actuate beating, […]
