While touchscreens are nice, wouldn’t it be even better if you could simply wave your hand to your computer to get it to do what you want? That’s the idea behind this Iron Man-inspired gesture control device by B. Aswinth Raj. The DIY system uses an Arduino Nano mounted to a disposable glove, along with hall […]
Do you ever wonder what certain colors would smell like? Perhaps red would emit the fragrance of a rose, while blue may be reminiscent of the ocean. During a recent workshop at ÉCAL in Lausanne, Switzerland, Niklas Roy challenged students to come up with new communication devices. In response, they devised an Arduino-based machine that senses a color and […]
With October still six months away, you may not be thinking about Halloween decorations just yet. However, this Arduino-based ocular assembly could make for a spooky yet simple prop! There are few things more unnerving than an eyeball or three looking at you from some concealed position—such as under clothing as in the project’s video. If […]
On Arduino Day, we announced the latest member of the Arduino MKR family: the MKRFOX1200. This powerful IoT development board offers a practical and cost effective solution for Makers looking to add Sigfox connectivity to their projects with minimal previous networking experience. The MKRFOX1200 shares several similarities with other MKR products, like the MKR1000 […]
As with many products, if you want the best, you’ll pay top dollar for it. After seeing that the supposed best soldering station on the market sells for $500, YouTuber GreatScott! decided to instead purchase the iron and tip for a total of around $100, then reverse-engineer how the station should work. From there, he […]
After much experimentation, researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research in Rostock and the University of Cologne in Germany have developed an electronically-augmented earplug that can read facial expressions and convert them into controls for your smartphone. For example, you may soon be able to answer a call with a wink or launch an app by moving your head […]
YouTuber “SlightlyCyberneticVlogs” wanted a modular method to rotate his robot heads that he has built and plans to build in the future. What he came up with was a system that uses OpenCV running on a laptop or other computing device, which interfaces with an Arduino to make it follow him around the room. For […]
Pete “Raster” Prodoehl shows how to test microswitches with an Arduino Uno. As referenced in his write-up, Prodoehl needed a way to test microswitches that he’d be using for an exhibit. After all, when something is on display, the last thing you want is to have to replace components. Inspired by how Consumer Reports tests […]
Using a pair of Arduino Unos and nRF24L01+ modules, this hacker can now remote control his lights. After struggling with a wall switch that was just too far from his desk to turn off without getting up, “Guyfromhe” decided to take matters into his own hands and rig up a servo to do it for him. […]
This is a guest post from Vaughn Shinall, Head of Product Outreach at Temboo. Making 20,000 cakes more safely and efficiently every day, improving engine manufacturing for lawnmowers so they run more quietly, and designing farms to need less water. These are just a few examples of how Arduinos are being used everyday by engineers, […]
