Traktorino is a fully open source DIY MIDI controller based on the Arduino platform. Created by Músico Nerd, the DIY MIDI controller is equipped with a wide variety of different sliders and knobs as well as LEDs which can provide customised feedback. All the electronic components are safely protected in a laser cut wooden outer…
The AR2 6-axis robot is an open source robot platform powered by an Arduino microcontroller. It can currently be 3D printed and build from low cost off the shelf components from online stores such as Amazon, McMaster Carr and Stepperonline. However if you are looking for a more robust version then the aluminium version is…
Massimo Banzi, the co-founder of the Arduino Project, last week announced that if you know how to write programs to control hardware using Arduino boards you can now use the same language to control hardware attached to the Pi. Thanks to a new feature in the cloud-based Arduino Create service is possible to compile Arduino…
The NSynth Super is an open-source, experimental project which comes from Google’s research project, Magenta. Using NSynth, a neural network that generates sounds, the synthesizer can actually generate the sounds that come from an instrument. The algorithm uses the core qualities of an instrument to create sounds instead of just generating notes. Google’s neural synthesiser enables musicians…
Open Bionics is a UK-based start-up tech company. Its mission is to create affordable 3D printed prostheses. They are about 30 times cheaper than other prostheses on the market. They operate using sensors attached to the skin to detect muscle movements. The muscle movements control the hand and open and close fingers. We spoke about…
Researchers from New York Genome Center and New York University have recently developed an open source 3d Printed microfluidic controller. The device fits on a bedside and can be obtained and assembled for around $600, so it’s really cheaper than other comparable instruments. “Most commercial microfluidic instruments are very costly; as a result, not every lab has access…
Cosmos enthusiast Jason Bowling’s come up with a very straightforward way of focusing his Celestron 127SLT with a Raspberry Pi Zero SBC. “One of the tradeoffs with the mid-price Celestron 127SLT is that it shakes rather badly when you touch it, and takes several seconds to settle down. I’m focusing using a Bahtinov mask and…
Dutch developer Bas Timmer revealed images of his Raspberry Pi 3 running Windows 10 just few days ago. We are not talking about the cutdown Internet of Things version of the Windows 10 operating system, but the full version of Windows 10 desktop edition built for the compact computer’s ARM64 architecture.. Bas didn’t divulge all the details…
Have you ever heard of Libre Computer Renegade SBC – aka ROC-RK3328-CC – based on Rockchip RK3328 processor, and launched last month on Indiegogo? It is a collaboration between the Libre Computer Project and the Firefly Team to bring you the latest hardware technologies like Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.1 in a tiny board form…
OctoPrint is an open source software created and maintained by Gina Häußge. It offers a web interface so users can control and monitor their 3D printers from anywhere, any time, from within their browser. It basically turns old computers, and even small ARM boards like the Raspberry Pi, into network-accessible 3D printer control panels, and…
This cheap, tiny computer looks just like Raspberry Pi and packs some useful features. Its makers have recently released the latest iteration in the form of Orange Pi One Plus, which is available on AliExpressfor $19.99 + shipping. The most important feature of this device is the brand-new SoC — Allwinner H6 V200 quad-core Cortex A53…
The mashup of toy and hobby grade components is giving rise to the concept of “frankendrones” that combine the low cost of toy hardware with key upgrades from the hobby realm. Quadcopter blogger garagedrone has posted a roundup of modifications made to the Bayangtoys X16, a $99 quadcopter which is becoming popular in the scene….
