GitHub Actions is the name of the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) system introduced by GitHub about a year ago, currently in public beta and now approaching the general availability status. When you read SDLC, think about some sort of CI/CD system that’s generic enough to let you define…
MediaPipe is a framework for building multimodal (eg. video, audio, any time series data) applied ML pipelines. With MediaPipe, a perception pipeline can be built as a graph of modular components, including, for instance, inference models (e.g., TensorFlow, TFLite) and media processing functions. In the visualization above, the red dots represent the localized hand landmarks, and…
The Programmable-Air is a hardware toolkit that allows you to inflate and deflate objects, combinig everything you need for simple air power experimentation into one package. It is available to purchase via the Crowd Supply website with kits available from $150. Since the project is open source hardware, you’ll find the EAGLE schematics and PCB…
Ben Roe has just revealed the instructions to create a DIY E Ink Magic Mirror. He developed a node.js script to run a local Magic Mirror site, then takes a screenshot of it to push to a 7.5-inch Waveshare E Ink display. So yes, it’s a magic mirror in software only and all is managed…
Samson March, an inquisitive Redditor, recently revealed that he built an entire smartwatch from scratch and he shared details of the process down to the smallest minutiae: his creation is named Smarch Watch. I decided sometime last year that I wanted to make a smart watch from scratch. I am an electrical engineer and product…
Kittenbot Meowbit is a tiny pocket games console equipped with a 1.8 inch display and powered by a 32-bit ARM Cortex M4 core processor. Priced at $34.90 the retro game computer can also be programmed and has six programmable buttons a buzzer, built-in light sensor, temperature sensor and SD card slot for external storage. It…
Inspired by Yoshii Kazuya’s laser-spiked outfit, github user abetusk decided to create an excellent version of the getup by embedding 128 laser diodes in his own jacket. These lasers are powered by an Arduino Nano, along with a pair of I2C PWM output boards, allowing them to be switched in sets of four. The lasers…
The maker James Bruton created a 3d-printed gripper with a three-finger design and three servo motors controlled by and Arduino Uno sbc. The design is ideal for gripping a variety roundish parts, and is held open by default with bungee cords attached to the outside like tendons. When you need it to grip something, a…
The SnapOnAir Raspberry PI ZERO PCB allows you to add a 2.8 Color ILI9341 TFT display and a TCA8418 I2C chip based keyboard to a Raspberry Pi Zero W sbc. Pi Zero W, because of its specs, is not exactly an ideal computer to use as a PC. But the SnapOnAir makes it simpler for…
Created by Mr Innovative, this Arduino based mini radar is capable of detecting objects placed in its line of sight. The 3D-printed console features a small SG90 servo to pan the sensor over a space, picking up obstacles in its path. The readings are then transmitted to an Arduino Nano, which displays object info on a…
Programmer and maker Abhishek Singh is currently running a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for Peeqo, the robot that responds in videos and GIFs. He launched the campaign for Peeqo February 12 after a pair of Reddit posts (here and here) detailing the robot’s development went viral over the past three years. Peeqo is delivered as a kit for makers to…
Max Williams has just shared on Hackster.io schematics, PCB layouts, CircuitPython code via GitHub, BoMs, measurements and photos about his new open source modular HiFi amplifier. It uses an Adafruit ItsyBitsy M0 Express running CircuitPython to make great music. The preamplifier is made up of a number of connected components: MDAC attenuator (PCB, code): Controls the volume Input selector (PCB, code):…
