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.
The initiative rewards the most innovative projects in areas related to environmental sustainability. FAE Technology will manufacture the electronic board prototypes for the top three winners. The contest is organized in collaboration with FAE Technology S.p.A. an Innovative SME operating in the design, prototyping, engineering, and production of integrated electronic solutions, announces the launch of…
In the world of speedcubing, solving Rubik’s cubes in under 10 seconds is an impressive feat for humans. But what about robots? Meet [aaedmusa]’s Rubik’s cube-solving machine, powered by a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller and six stepper motors. Although the robot does not feature machine vision, it can solve the cube in under 5 seconds once…
LEDs come in many different shapes and sizes. You may have already seen them in those “fake” Edison light bulbs that use an LED filament instead of actual wire filaments. Inside the filament, there is a row of tiny LEDs covered with a flexible material. They operate on 3V and are super bright. This…
Pico Bricks, whose development was completed after an R&D process of up to 2 years in cooperation with Robotistan and BenMaker, is now open to crowdfunding on Kickstarter! Pico Bricks was funded more than 200% in a short time. Check out Pico Bricks on Kickstarter: Pico Bricks on Kickstarter Electronics education and coding is one…
SOCORAD32, aka the ESP32 Software Controlled Radio, is a professional-grade hackable walkie-talkie for amateur radio exploration, voice, and data communication using simple AT commands. Just add a speaker and a battery and you get a fully functional walkie-talkie radio. With the onboard dedicated Push To Talk (PTT) button, SOCORAD32 can be used straight out of the box without…
With hydroponic cultivation we mean a different method of plant growth, in fact instead of the earth there is water with dissolved mineral salts that flows between the roots. In this project we will see how a hydroponic greenhouse controlled by an ESP8266 was built. The system consists of pumps and temperature sensors controlled by…
CELEBRATE TEN YEARS OF MAKER FAIRE ROME WITH US! That’s right! Maker Faire Rome turns ten this year. Ten years of innovations and ideas that have turned into concrete projects, of inventions that have improved and revolutionised entire sectors of our society, realising things that seemed remote and even unattainable a few years ago. Ten…
From 7 to 9 October 2022 “Maker Faire Rome – The European Edition” is back Once again this year, the unmissable event at “Maker Faire Rome 2022 – The European Edition“. The event – promoted by the Rome Chamber of Commerce and organised by its special company Innova Camera – now in its tenth…
Based on Neopixel and a special ultra-thin Arduino, it simulates the light produced by chimney flames As every year, the approach of the winter season stimulates our imagination and reminds us that electronics can do a lot, not only concretely (creating automatisms for indoor air conditioning) but also for pleasure and leisure; so here are…
It is extremely vital to have good wiring in your home. In our modern lifestyle, we rely on electricity for almost everything. For a smooth and long-lasting electric system, it is important to have your home electrical wiring checked and maintained regularly. Operating on outdated and overused electric cables can cause some serious safety hazards. Furthermore,…
IP Core Chip means Intellectual Property, in other sectors we term it as patent; however, in the field of semiconductor and electronics, it is called IP. IP is a design or unit that is verified and available for licensing. Semiconductor IP (SIP) and Design IP (DIP) is small unit that can be used in some…
