LEDs are fun, and RGB(W)s adds a new element to things, but what if you want a light that can also move by itself? The Mover3D does just that as a pan/tilt system controlled by the DMX512 communication protocol. You simply feed instructions in via any standard lighting console, and it dances around under your […]
The wait is finally over, the Arduino Nano 33 BLE and BLE Sense are both available. The boards have been manufactured, delivered to our warehouses, and will start shipping in mid-August. These new boards are an exciting addition to our product line — based on the powerful Nordic nRF52840 Bluetooth SoC, a Cortex-M4F Arm processor […]
This post is from Martino Facchin, who is in charge of the firmware development team at Arduino. Hopefully this is the first of a series of posts describing the inner workings of what we do. The new, shiny and tiny Nano 33 BLE and Nano 33 BLE Sense are on their way to becoming a […]
It’s easy to see that painting takes a lot of skill, but few really understand how much skill is involved like John Opsahl, who created the “If Then Paint” CNC canvas painting machine. In order to produce the proper paint strokes, his device implements full six-axis brush control, moving not only in the X/Y/Z coordinate system, […]
Richard J. Prinz wasn’t satisfied with pickable physical locks, so he decided to see if he could instead secure physical things with his YubiKey USB security fob. His setup uses an Arduino Uno, along with a USB host shield, to read data from the YubiKey then compare it to a stored password or passwords. If […]
We are excited to announce that we’ve selected Auth0 as the identity management platform of choice for Arduino. We will replace our own Single Sign On solution with Auth0 for all public facing web properties, including Arduino Create and other apps. We discovered that our own homegrown authentication solution would not scale to meet the […]
Sure, we’ve seen low-cost DIY 3D printers with wooden frames before, but not a 3D printer that actually ‘prints’ wood. That’s exactly what Shane Wighton and his Formlabs hackathon team have done. (Although probably more along the lines of a hybrid additive/subtractive CNC machine that makes parts out of 3/4″ particleboard.) The device first cuts […]
After considering the price of helmet-mounted headsets for motorcycle or moped use, YouTuber GreatScott! decided to try making his own. His walkie-talkie prototype consisted of two Arduino Nano boards, using nRF24L01+ transceivers and a small speaker for PWM audio output. After a test demonstrating wireless transmission, the design was transferred to custom PCBs, programming their […]
As humans, we can’t detect magnetic fields, but we take advantage of this phenomenon every day in the form of motors and various sensors. Even electrical wire produces a field when current flows through it. You can perceive magnetism with a compass, but if you want to visualize it in three dimensions, maker ‘amamitof7’ has […]
When you want to build a walking robot, the normal route is to individually control each leg with a number of servos or other actuators. Maker Jeremy S. Cook, however, took a different approach with his ‘ClearCrawler,’ using only a pair of motors to power eight legs. These legs are divided up into sets of […]
