Just when you thought you’ve seen every possible kind of Arduino-driven clock, another one emerges. This “DIY strange-looking” device takes the form of a wheel with times written on it, which is rotated using an Arduino Micro and a 5V stepper motor. And while it may not be the most accurate timekeeper out there, it’s an […]
For a recent column in the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant, Rolf Hut built a slick longboard with LED strips that respond to speed. If you think that sounds awesome, wait until you see it in action. As the Maker explains, four magnets and a Hall effect sensor are used to measure the longboard’s speed so the Adafruit NeoPixels can react at the same pace. […]
We’ve been playing with NS1 Nanosynth in the last few weeks, when it first appeared under our radars on the Christmas’ Gift Guides (while going sold out in few days, after Synthopia blessed it with this interesting review). It’s a hackable and customizable analog synthesizer coupled with an Arduino Micro platform. Personally, it was one of […]
Thomas Renck is a coder and a maker. He went to Disneyland, saw a bunch of little kids having fun with bubble guns and realized that a bubble blaster is a sure way to measurably improve joy and happiness in life. Back home, it took only two hours to create and add-on to automate the […]
Marco Mauro is a physicist currently employed as Scientific Coordinator at Novaetech, the first Spin-off Company of the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) in Italy. He shared with us all the info about a project he’s been working on and based on Arduino Micro. OpenQCM is a fully open source scientific microbalance capable of weighing […]
Here we are after winter break with a new tutorial on 3d printing with Arduino Materia 101. The 5-step tutorial allows you to design a Lego-compatible case for the Arduino Micro to be used together with the power function IR-receiver mentioned in this other Tutorial.
We can’t miss the chance to play with some LEDs now that holidays are coming and mix some electronics with 3d printing on Materia 101. In the tutorial of this Kristoffer is experimenting on Xmas decorations, Arduino Micro and some code to play around with.
One of the pleasures of watching TV depends on the use of a remote control that allows you to change channels from where you are. In the tutorial of this week, Kristoffer made an add-on to a previous lesson teaching us how to control a computer with a remote control like the one of your […]
Arduino user Jubeso submitted to our blog an instructable explaining the 10 steps to build an input device for gaming. The Gravity Touch bluetooth glove is specifically designed to interact with augmented reality glasses like the Google Glass, Meta, Moverio BT or with the VR headsets like Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, vrAse, Durovis Dive:
Glimmer the Mermaid is an incredible project by Erin St. Blaine: it uses about 180 Adafruit Neopixels, an Arduino Micro to control them and silicone. To change animations and brightness she added a bluetooth module to connect it to an Android tablet:
