Sometimes the only motivation you need for a project is “because I want to.” That is especially true for cute and quirky decoration that doesn’t need to prioritize functionality. The perfect example of this is Ruby Zoom’s Lamptopus, which is the most adorable desk lamp in the world. Lamptopus is a small lamp designed to […]
Before digital display technology became affordable and practical, electromechanical flip-disc (AKA “flip-dot”) displays were a popular choice thanks to their high visibility and ability to scale to large sizes. For all practical purposes, flip-disc displays have been obsolete for decades. But we’re seeing a resurgence in demand for them, as they have an attractive and […]
We’re excited to announce the release of our latest Arduino Cloud feature, the Advanced Chart Widget! This new and improved widget is a significant upgrade from our previous chart widget, offering more customization options and functionality that will make it easier than ever to visualize and analyze your device data. In this blog post, we’ll […]
LED accent lighting is very trendy right now, as it can add quite a lot of visual interest to a room without introducing clutter. But commercial products are often either very expensive or subpar in quality and capability. Fortunately for makers, this kind of project is perfect for a DIY weekend build. One great option […]
Ping pong is one of the most popular sports in the world, but that doesn’t mean that it is easy to find people to practice with. Lone players are typically forced to practice by using return boards (or one half of the table flipped up), but that is overly predictable. To provide a better training […]
You may have heard about Portenta X8 for its flexibility of usage of Linux combined with real-time applications through the Arduino environment. But now, a new set of features have been added to Portenta X8 thanks to its brand-new Arduino Python container. Update your board with the latest image (here is a tutorial showing how […]
Unlike every other hands-free light switch that relies on infrared motion detection or changes in ambient light values, Michael Rigsby’s “Look at Me Light Switch” instead requires a person to stare at it for six seconds. Based on an embedded machine learning model and a microcontroller, this device uses Person Sensor from Useful Sensors, which relies on […]
Embedded audio classification is a very powerful tool when it comes to predictive maintenance, as a wide variety of sounds can be distinguished as either normal or harmful several times per second automatically and reliably. To demonstrate how this pattern recognition could be incorporated into a commercial setting, Kevin Richmond created the Listen Up project that aims […]
Our smartphones go pretty much everywhere with us, and we use them for more things than we even realize. From literally the very moment we’re startled into life in the morning, until the one final doom scroll through social media before bed, our phones are with us. It makes sense then to think about ways […]
The periodic table is arguably the most popular symbol of nerd pride. Everyone knows what it is, but few people are familiar enough with it to make real use of it. There aren’t, for instance, many people that can tell you the atomic number of darmstadtium. If you’re one of the nerdy few who can, […]
