After being given a 2009 MacBook, John Forsyth decided to use it to start a 1976 Jeep via voice control. The build uses the laptop’s Enhanced Dictation functionality to convert text into speech, and when a Python program receives the proper keywords, it sends an “H” character over serial to an Arduino Uno to activate […]
This is a guest post from Surrogate, a team of developers building games that people play in real-life over the internet. We introduced this concept last year, and have launched three games so far. Our final game of 2019 was SumoBots Battle Royale — where players from anywhere in the world can fight real robots […]
Music and synchronized lighting can be a beautiful combination, evident by panGenerator’s recent installation that was commissioned by the Meskie Granie concert tour in Poland. The interactive sculpture was comprised of 15 drums that trigger waves of light traveling toward a huge helium-filled sphere floating above the area, appearing to charge it with sound and […]
This post is from Massimiliano Pippi, Senior Software Engineer at Arduino. The Arduino IoT Cloud platform aims to make it very simple for anyone to develop and manage IoT applications and its REST API plays a key role in this search for simplicity. The IoT Cloud API at its core consists of a set of […]
If you have multiple applications open in Windows, you may want one to be louder than the other, but what if you want to adjust levels with physical sliders like an actual DJ? If that sounds interesting, check out this controller by “Aithorn.” The device uses an Arduino Nano to read signals from each slider and […]
Tetris was as a perfect complement to Nintendo’s original Game Boy when it came out in 1989, and now “Copper Dragon” has been able to fit an entire system for it — sans monitor or speakers — inside of a faux NES controller. Impressively, this feat was accomplished with an Arduino Nano and a few passive […]
Nixie tubes are, of course, an elegant display method from a more civilized age, but actually powering and controlling them can be a challenge. This can mean a great project and learning opportunity, but if you’d rather just skip ahead to programming these amazing lights, then Marcin Saj’s IN-2 binary Nixie clock is definitely worth […]
Researchers in Thailand have developed a ZigBee-based wireless monitoring solution for off-grid PV installations capable of tracking the sun across the sky, tilting the panel hourly. The elevation for the setup is adjusted manually once per month for optimum energy collection. The prototype is controlled by a local Arduino Uno board, along an H-bridge motor […]
We’ve released the first prototype of one of the most requested Arduino Pro IDE features: the Arduino Debugger! Key features include the ability to: Execute your Arduino sketch step-by-step while it’s running on your Arduino board! Pause your sketch execution placing breakpoints. Inspect variables values during execution. Initially supporting SAM D21 boards, the Arduino Pro […]
The South Florida Science Center recently commissioned a beautiful new 10” aperture refactor telescope. Its dome, however, was opened by hand; so in an effort to modernize this part of the setup, Andres Paris and his brother added a windshield wiper-style DC motor to automate the process. The “window to the heavens” is now operated by an […]
