Drawing upon the design and behaviors of the BD-1 droid from Star Wars, Mateo Jarquin of the YouTube channel MateoTechLab has adapted it into a shoulder-mounted animatronic named “Pico” that can constantly interact with the wearer. All movement, sound generation, and lighting are handled by an Arduino Nano Every board embedded inside a custom 3D-printed […]
Developing your skill set is all about pushing the boundaries of your current knowledge and experience, but that inevitably leads to occasional failure. When that happens, you need to know how to pivot and complete the project. A great example of that is James Bruton’s Star Wars speeder bike built from a repurposed hoverboard. Bruton […]
Was there anything more exciting than watching AT-ATs walk across Hoth towards the Rebel base for the first time? Those massive machines were iconic and helped to solidify The Empire Strikes Back as the best movie set in the Star Wars universe. After experiencing disappointment with AT-AT toys that couldn’t walk, James Bruton built his own AT-AT robot that […]
A little over a year ago, Maker Mac70 set out to build an inexpensive DIY version of a volumetric display — a system which enables users to view objects in 3D, without the need for special glasses or extremely fancy components. But unlike in the Star Wars series, this system relies on a projector that can refresh hundreds […]
“May the Fourth be with you” is one of those sayings that has been ingrained into our culture thanks to the popularity of Star Wars, and few things represent its impact more than the custom props, costumes, and projects that fans from around the world have constructed. To celebrate this year’s “holiday,” here is a […]
The new Andor TV show, set in the Star Wars universe prior to the events of Rogue One, is already a hit and a big part of that is thanks to the B2EMO droid. Like many of the other droids in the Star Wars franchise, B2EMO manages to be very expressive despite being cold, hard steel. It conveys emotions and expressions through […]
We don’t need to tell you that Star Wars is a wildly popular franchise. If you include all of the movies, video games, novels, theme park attractions, and so on, it is the fifth-highest-grossing media franchise of all time (somehow just behind Winnie the Pooh). Because of its popularity, Star Wars themes find their way into every facet of life. […]
In the Star Wars Universe, the Jedi and Sith use the Force for battle and mayhem. But in the real world, people would use the Force for much more mundane everyday tasks. Obi Wan even does this in the prequel trilogy when he closes a door using the Force. Star Wars fanatic Nick O’Hara leveraged […]
Check out these amazing Star Wars projects built with Arduino that are more powerful than you can possibly imagine. This is the May!
Almost all of us have thought “That thing looks pretty cool, I wish I could build one of my one” while watching a movie or TV show. In the latest Hacksmith video, the team set out to do just that – construct a jetpack that looks nearly identical to the one seen in The Mandalorian. The […]
