A very cool project you can do with an Arduino is to use it as a custom controller for your favorite games. Whether you’re adapting a Nerf gun or playing an FPS game, using an Arduino makes it quick and easy to build your own custom controller. In this tutorial, we will see how…
If you often use keyboard shortcuts in your work or the key combinations are so complicated to remember, then this project is for you. Aaron Peterson created a touchscreen controller aimed at streamers, but there’s nothing stopping us from using it for other programs. In fact, the controller sends different key combinations in order to…
If you want to use an actual computer for video streaming, you’re normally left using a keyboard and mouse for navigation. YouTube hacker Kevin Darrah decided to make a gadget to let him surf streaming channels with the actual remote that came with his TV, based on the ATmega32U4 microcontroller. Unlike the Arduino Uno’s ATmega328P,…
Olimex has recently launched eduArdu, an open source hardware Arduino compatible board specifically designed for education with plenty of buttons, LEDs, and sensors, as well as tutorials and samples source code to help young and older aspiring makers get started with Arduino programming. An ATMega32U4 AVR microcontroller provides the computing muscle, just like it does…
Bridgetek’s Embedded Video Engine technology is gaining more traction within the global open-source community, as well as with larger OEMs. The latest of integrated graphics controllers is the Sunflower Shield. Using the FT813 EVE IC, the Sunflower Shield allows makers to add a touch-enabled premium quality 3.5″ (QVGA) TFT LCD display, to their Arduino projects. With the ability…
“The UDOO BOLT is the world’s first maker board with a shockingly powerful GPU – nothing short than AMD Radeon™ Vega 8 and AMD Radeon™ Vega 3 Graphics, the most incredible GPUs you’ve ever seen on a maker platform. With such a wonder you can play popular video games like League of Legends, Overwatch, CS:GO…
If you enjoy a game of pinball, you are sure to be interested in this awesome Rombus Pinball emulation station created by developer and maker Matt Brailsford aka Circuitbeard. Finding the pinball emulation community lacking for Linux, the maker turned to the LattePanda, a tiny Windows 10 SBC with a built-in Arduino Leonardo. This was…
This is the first open-source cellular Arduino shield of its kind using SIMCom’s latest SIM7000-series modules with LTE CAT-M and NB-IoT support, optimized for low-power IoT devices. The shield also integrates incredibly fast GNSS, and a high-accuracy temperature sensor! All this comes wrapped in a fully-documented and open-source package that is easily migrated to from…
Step is a toy that allows children, in a very playful and straight forward way, to compose and edit simple loops using custom sounds. Some basic topics of music composition such as sound sampling, tempo and track channels are introduced to children who plays with it. Step’s interface is composed by a board and color…
