We use the platform based on the AMS sensors in combination with the Personal Computer and thanks to an ad hoc software we trace on the screen the spectrum curves resulting from the analysis performed. In the analysis of materials, spectrometry has been used for a long time; this is a metrology technique based…
Inspired by a more complex and expensive project, Instructables member stoppi71 decided to create his own body-ultrasound machine using a 5 MHz ultrasound transducer via a paint-thickness gauge. My hobby and passion is to realize physics projects. One of my last work is about ultrasonic sonography. As always I tried to make it as simple as…
If you have a Rubik’s Cube lying around your house unsolved, maybe this open source machine might be just the thing. The Q-Bot features six NEMA 17 stepper motors, four of which turn one face at a time. When needed, the other two use timing belts to alternatively pull opposed stepper motor pairs back, allowing…
Arduino Day is a worldwide birthday celebration of Arduino. It’s a 24 hour-long event – organized directly by the community, or by the Arduino founders – that brings people together to share their experiences and learn more about the open-source platform. Arduino Day 2019 will be celebrated on March 16th and the Arduino team will be holding…
If you wear a self-winding watch, I’m sure you’re aware that watch winders are generally very expensive, or cheap and noisy. So Kristopher Marciniak decided to hack an inexpensive winder replacing the stock motor with a stepper, and using an Arduino along with a Trinamic SilentStepStick driver for silent and well-controlled movement. “What I really…
Google and Arduino have partnered together to developer and launch the Arduino Science Kit Physics Lab, the first official Arduino kit designed for middle school curriculum. The kit provides schoolers with a hands-on experience, enabling them to explore forces, motion, and conductivity with their classmates. Students can make their own hypothesis like a real scientist,…
James Bruton has just created an Arduino-powered robot that is able to boil an egg for you (for now), but he’s planning to expand its repertoire as a sort of ongoing theme/project. The robot first holds an egg in a metal basket and rotates it over a nearly boiling saucepan using a servo along with…
Alistair Aichison’s work consists of a narrative game played using a real book, a real shredder and an interactive computer installation, where an onscreen book talks about loss, but also encourages you to add your story by creatively modifying a real book. The process involves cutting and marking the book, and even requires the user to tear…
Schindler Technologies has recently launched via Kickstarter a new customizable wireless remote control for Arduino platform. This controller allows you to easily control your projects such as a drone, remote control car, speakers or anything else your imagination can build. “The Pilot Wireless Remote Control has many amazing features that will make it perfect for your…
Inspired by a Star Trek Tricorder, the maker has converted a handheld gyroscopic toy into an original handheld Arduino controlled heart rate monitor. The device consists of an Arduino Pro Mini with a pulse sensor and an OLED display stuffed inside the handle, which conveniently already had accommodations for three AA batteries. After opening up the handle, I…
Josiah Davenport, a 14 years old teenager, for this Christmas decided to animate 3,500 Christmas lights on his family’s home with the help of an Arduino Mega. On Monday, the 14-year-old will activate a synchronized display at his family’s home at 705 NE Canterbury Dr., in Ankeny. The production includes approximately 3,500 Christmas lights and about 900 feet of cord. This…
Using an array of 72 40kHz ultrasonic transducers to form standing waves of low and high pressure, the maker Julius Kramer has just created a 3d-printed acoustic levitator. 36 each are placed in the top and bottom shells of the device’s chassis. What’s interesting about Kramer’s build is that he does a great job illustrating how it works,…
