Detecting motion using PIR modules is straightforward due to their digital output and the ease of integration with Arduino. In this simple article from DigiKey, it demonstrates how to turn on an LED when a user passes in front of the sensor. Build it yourself Boards, sensors and kits for projects like this one….
MEG, the open source Greenhouse system we interviewed some months ago here, is trying to crowdfund the creation of a new working prototype to be showcased at next Milan EXPO – “Feeding the planet”. Let’s help! With the money from this campaign, we’ll fund the engineering, the manufacturing and the agrobiological research – to be held…
The Open Source Virtual Reality (OSVR) headset will get a significant upgrade soon. Gaming peripheral company Razer announced the OSVR program back in January, but the first prototype headset was an underwhelming affair with uncomfortable ergonomics and a so-so display. That wasn’t really the point, though. Rather than a single company aiming to dominate the…
We all know that COVID-19 is stressing our health system to the limit. One of the most important machines in this battle is the ventilator. Vents are critical for patients experiencing the worst symptoms of respiratory distress from the virus. Most of the numbers predict that hospitals won’t have enough ventilators to keep up…
