This remote-controlled, highly mobile robot features a 4DOF arm and an onboard camera

Static manipulators and mobile robot chassis each have their own advantages, and so by combining the two into a single platform, AadhunikLabs was able to realize both at the same time. The base frame is comprised of four individual wheels, each with their own high-torque geared motor and driven by a pair of VNH3ASP30 DC motor driver boards. […]

MiuraKit simplifies pneumatic robot design

Soft robotics is a challenging field, because it comes with all of the difficulties associated with conventional robotics and adds in the complexity of designing non-rigid bodies. That isn’t a trivial thing, as most CAD software doesn’t have the ability to simulate the flexibility of the material. You also have to understand how the actuators will perform. […]

Introducing the Nano ESP32: THAT’S I(o)T!

Create your first – or your next – IoT project with the new Arduino Nano ESP32. The latest addition to our wide range of tiny boards with mighty features pairs the accessibility and flexibility of the Arduino ecosystem with the potential of the low-power ESP32-S3 system-on-a-chip microcontroller. This means you can keep the familiar Nano […]

This Bluetooth tank is a perfect first robot

Many kids and adults have an interest in electronics because they want to build robots. But it can be difficult to figure out where to even start. There are hundreds of kits on the market and the options are endless where you veer into custom territory. But if you’re looking for a tank-style rover that […]

Experiment with new tools for MicroPython

At the end of last year (November 2022) we announced initial support for MicroPython in the Arduino ecosystem, and continued to quietly work on the toolkit for this language. We continuously expand the list of Arduino boards for which a MicroPython firmware is provided (available here). Additionally, we are now releasing new tools to help […]

AWAKE is a very pretty wake-up light

Humans evolved to sleep and wake according to natural light cycles. So it is strange that we, as a society, have largely chosen to rely on blaring alarms to wake up in the mornings. Wake-up lights have been gaining traction in recent years because they provide a pleasant experience that mirrors the rising sun — […]

Introducing UNO R4 WiFi support in the Arduino Cloud

We are excited to announce that the Arduino Cloud now supports the UNO R4 WiFi board, providing makers with seamless connectivity and enhanced features. Building upon the recent release of the much-anticipated UNO R4 in our store, this new integration significantly amplifies the capabilities of the Arduino Cloud. The UNO R4 WiFi is a revolutionary […]

This timer uses a rolling ball to count the seconds

Before we had fancy digital clocks — or even spring-driven mechanical clocks — most methods for measuring short periods of time relied on gravity moving something in a consistent, repeatable way. Both water clocks and hour glasses work under that principle. But it isn’t very fun to watch grains of sand fall, which is why […]

Can tripedal robots actually walk?

Building walking robots is difficult, because they either need a lot of legs or some ability to balance through their gait. There is a reason that the robots designed by companies like Boston Dynamics are so impressive. But lots of hobbyists have made bipedal and quadrupedal robots, while largely ignoring tripedal robots. To find out […]

This electronic compass guides you using LEDs and OLED display

Of all the tools humanity has developed for navigation over our history, the humble compass is arguably the most important. A compass is cheap to produce, reliable, and incredibly useful for every kind of navigation. But standard mechanical compasses aren’t perfect; they can stick, are easy for people to misread, and don’t always indicate exact […]
