There is a ton of different development boards on the market that will do exactly what you want for any particular project, and come loaded with all of the components necessary to get them up and running. The SAMD HCC Module enables you to create your custom PCBs with a surface-mount microcontroller that comes pre-programmed…
At Build 2017, Microsoft introduced Azure IoT Edge, which lets edge devices run AI, Azure services, and custom logic to not just generate insights, but act on them both locally and autonomously. Microsoft has since deployed various Azure services to the edge, and now it’s gearing up to push more. But first Microsoft is open-sourcing…
3Dsimo after the first product 3Dsimo Mini pen – a “palm-sized workshop” which allows you to 3D draw, burn, cut foam and solder – has recently launched the new 3Dsimo kit, the first ever assembly kit of a multi-material 3D pen that you can modify to your requirements. As well as being able to modify the…
Tennibot, is a Roomba-inspired robot that scours the court targeting balls for autonomous pickup. Tennibot has some pretty hefty route planning and perception capabilities. The team first built their robot using Arduino and then Raspberry Pi boards, but quickly scaled up to a beefier board, which is when Ubuntu became the clear choice for Tennibot’s…
Working in partnership with University College London, Microsoft Research has released a new modular system for creating tailored workspaces using multiple touchscreen devices: it’s called SurfaceConstellations and it is open source. The key to the system is capacitive links attached to brackets printed using 3D printing technology, which establish the connection between the devices. The…
OctoRemote is an Arduino compatible keyboard to control OctoPrint enabled 3D printers or to be used as customizable input device. OctoRemote, which is currently in the crowdfunding stage on Kickstarter, is a configurable 19-key remote. It uses the same ATmega32U4 that’s used in some Arduinos, so it can be reprogrammed with the Arduino IDE to…

Matthew Oswald has created Mugsy, an open source Raspberry Pi coffee robot which he unveiled at last years Maker Faire in New York and recently launched via Kickstarter. The robotic coffee machine allows you to control every aspect of the coffee brewing process from coffee bean grind size, water temperature and more. Or you can simply use…
Plytop Shell is a project started in 2016 with the aim of creating a Raspberry pi powered laptop. Originally Rory Johnson was working on a 3D printed design, but he encountered many issues on printing the laptop case in one shot. So the design needed to be broken up into multiple smaller pieces and then…
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…
Gumstix has developed a variation on its recently announced Chatterbox for the Colibri iMX7 that is instead powered by a Raspberry Pi Compute Module. The board has been designed in Geppetto and it’s fully customizable online. The Linux-powered audio board is is a feature rich development platform for AVS skills (Amazon Alexa Voice Service). Exciting features, such…
