Thanks to a Raspberry Pi and some open-source software you can create your custom DDL system that delivers HD video and telemetry using an Android phone as a display. An android app allows for just about any old Android phone to serve as video feed, on-screen display of telemetry data, and touchscreen interface. As we…
Mechanical engineer Isaac Porras has launched the new Solderdoodle Plus, an open source USB rechargeable soldering iron, more powerful than its predecessor Solderdoodle. It’s a cordless hot multi-tool that can be used as a soldering iron, 3D print finishing tool, and wood burner, all in the same package and it features 10 Watts of adjustable power. Solderdoodle Plus…
If you like electronic music, you must know Daft Punk’s glowing electronic helmets. Now, thanks to this Electronoobs tutorial, you can make a very good and affordable replica for around $20 and 30 hours of print time. This is a very simple project that uses the Adafruid library to control a RGB adressable LED strip that…
The Lenco-MD turntable rethinks the classic concept of the turntable, making quality audio equipment accessible and customizable. Lenco-MD is the result of a partnership between the Swiss hi-fi audio manufacturer Lenco, the Dutch 3D printer manufacturer RepRapUniverse, and the Qeske knowledge-sharing community. It’s a modular kit that you build yourself from Lenco components and 3D-printed parts….
If you are searching for a perfect project for New Year’s Eve, maybe it’s just the thing. Cortex 2 is a great piece of engineering with some fascinating development and it was built up on the basis of Cortex 1: entirely 3D printed, the first rocket flew well, but the parachute failed to deploy mainly due to…
The Tiger Q3D 3d printer was born from a partnership between Flying Tiger Copenhagen and Politronica and is the first table lamp and 3d printer into a single form. The q3d’s arm moves with precision using wires and cords which interact via the plate’s rotation. Inspired by the iconic lamp LUXO L-1, created in 1937 by the…
How great would it be to wear a DIY Smartwatch? Maybe it was the first thought of Tylersuard, the maker of this project. In practice, the maker explains that this smartwatch was created to impress a friend at work and the headers from the Raspberry Pi Zero W have been soldered upside down making them…
The OpenLH is based on the uArm Swift Pro open source robotic arm and allows creative exploration. The heart of the system is the Arduino Mega-controlled uArm Swift Pro robot, which is equipped with a custom end effector and syringe pump. This enables it to dispense liquids with an average error of just .15 microliters….
If you have access to a 3D printer together with a swimming pool new may be interested in a new Raspberry Pi project to create a 3D printed floating speaker. “My goal/inspiration for this project was to have a speaker that floats around like a buoy in the sea. Throw it in your pool or…
Why do you should buy an electric screwdriver when you can build it by yourself? The DIY electric screwdriver is fitted with a 9 g Micro server which has been modified for continuous rotation and connected to an Arduino Nano. The build uses a small thumb joystick for proportional control, and can accommodate a small hand driver…
Matthias Steinig, a German developer whose focus seems to be on the development of Lightning Network-enabled technologies to serve consumers, has created a new mechanism that allows e-bikes to be rented in exchange for payments on the bitcoin Lightning Network. The bike has a device that controls the flow of electricity depending on the payment that was made using the Lightning…
Katrina Nguyen is currently a Biomedical Engineering graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University studying motor neuroscience research. Katrina designed an open source automated feeding system that aims to help researchers better monitor the daily intake of laboratory animals: it is called FED (Feeding Experimentation Device). FED utilizes open-source software and hardware. The system dispenses a…
