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…
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…
Walking robots come in many forms, and each presents their own unique challenges. Bipedal style locomotion is considered particularly difficult to do well, however designs with more legs offer certain advantages.

Nikodem Bartnik had a small problem. When soldering, he had to move his light around in order to properly see what he was working on. In order to avoid this constant interruption, he built a 3D-printed lamp capable of manuevering like a small robot arm under voice command. An Arduino Uno controls the light’s movement directly via three servos, and…
