Most bench drills have a ruler to read the drilling depth. The greater the accuracy at which the desired position can be read, the greater the success of the job. In this project we see an alternative proposal: a display in which we see the drilling depth thanks to a gyroscopic sensor and an 8-digit…
A challenge faced by many hospitals, especially during the current times, is the understaffing and the inability to constantly monitor each patient at the same time. This system can alert hospital staff that a patient in a wheelchair may have problems by monitoring the chair’s actions using three sensors (an obstacle detection module, a tilt…
If you’re interested in physics, electronics and DIY you can’t miss this quaternion compass! It’s made of an Arduino board which collects data from an MPU-9250 accelerometer/gyroscope/magnetometer , and after a series of calculations shows your orientation on a display. More info
University of Auckland’s Augmented Human Lab have prototyped a wearable system called GymSoles to help you to improve your workout by monitoring and correcting your form. “GymSoles enables a correct execution of exercises, such as squats and dead-lifts by solely providing feedback on the Centre of Pressure (CoP). We developed a prototype consisting of a…
This Arduino controlled digital multi-measuring gadget employs an MPU-6050 accelerometer and gyroscope that lets it act as a 2D level, as well as a digital protractor after zeroing it at a starting point. The unit also features straight-line measurement capabilities via an IR distance sensor, and even has an encoder with a wheel that can…
The AmbaSat-1 is a tiny Space satellite kit that you assemble and code yourself is now available from £35 on Kickstarter. AmbaSat-1 is part of a new generation of satellites known as Sprite satellites. They are tiny spacecraft measuring 35 mm square and just a few millimetres thick. Pioneered by the original KickSat, the company…
Developed by students at the California Institute of Technology, Poseidon is an open source alternative to commercial syringe pump and microscope system. The Poseidon microscope consists of a Raspberry Pi, touch screen module, and commercially available digital microscope housed in a 3D printed stage. This device offers a large and clear view of the object…
Thanks to a lot of features, sensors, and connectivity options this open hardware SBC should allow students to learn to program any different components around ESP32. Fish32 Seed board specifications: Supported ESP32 Modules – ESP32-WROVER, ALB32-WROVER, ESP32-WROOM-32 Connectivity 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 via ESP32 10/100M Ethernet (RJ45) via WIZnet W5500 chip with support for up…
The easiest way to describe the Genuino 101 is that “it’s a bit like the Raspberry Pi“. Except that it isn’t. Where the Pi is a tiny, cheap, programmable computer able to run a full operating system, the Arduino is more like a programmable co-processor, for creating low power devices that react to their environment….
BeGo is an open source smartwatch startup from Finland.They have designed and produced a fully open source smartwatch and they are ready to start an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. Smartwatch market is still on its early development stage and only few players now dominating this market. Most of them are offering high end smartwatches with touch…
