With the technical advancements, the robotics industry is also providing its services in several forms. Medical Robots are there in the medical industries that help several organizations manage patients and their data efficiently. But still, there are multiple…
In this tutorial we will learn how to build an Arduino based RC Hovercraft. I will show you the entire process of building it, starting from designing and 3D printing the hovercraft parts, including the propellers, to connecting the electronics components and programming the Arduino. Overview For controlling the hovercraft, I used my DIY Arduino…

Besides being a friend of Open Electronics, Sergio Subrizi is one of the few in the world who have had the experience of building the MechMate: a DIY, Open Source CNC Router. Judging from the beautiful machine that Sergio was able to build, his experience will be useful to all those who venture into this…
These recent breakthroughs in electrical component technology are likely to have a significant impact on the electronics industry – and on people’s everyday lives. Graphene – Latest News for Revolutionary Material Your’e probably aware of the superstar conductor of the future, Graphene: “A wonder material that is the world’s thinnest, strongest and most conductive…
Some months ago we came across the RGB Shield from Open Electronics and our first thought was to use it building some cool stuff with our framework, Souliss. The future of lights goes through LEDs because compared to standard lights they’re tiny, easy to control and consume low power. But what we were missing until…

Few years ago we were in a need for easy way to get our green walls use GSM network to communicate with our servers. In the very first prototype we…
Cheaper electronics and network connectivity are driving the Internet of Things, that’s our idea to let your object interact with you. If you are a new user in the world of Arduino (and similar) microcontroller boards, maybe you came across the idea to control objects around you, interconnect them and have remote interactions. This is…
After the smartphones revolution that led us directly to the internet in our pockets the next one is already in place a will bring the Internet directly into objects. I often read lots of posts on a daily basis in which people try to define the Internet of Things: since a long time I…
The pleasure and passion to start a new project from an almost casual intuition, to create a new prototype, and then make it better and eventually available on the market does not always comply with the existing rules and laws in Europe. My personal experience in building Open Source, DIY Hardware from the Global…
