Here at Open Electronics we are big fans of sailing. A good old friend of mine recently participated to 2013 edition of Mini Transat, a solo sailing race that starts in late october in Northern France and ends up in South America, was in Guadalupe this year, actually Pointe-à-Pitre. My friend’s race was definitely not…
(This is the second post of the OpenWheels series. See all the posts by clicking here) As you may know, the invention of the SegWay is due to Mr. Dean Kamen who, noting the difficulties faced by a man in a wheelchair in just climbing a sidewalk, spotted the possibility of a vehicle that…
Incredibly enough, given the incredible amount of work he’s doing to prepare the next edition of the International Fablabs Conference, the FAB 10 that will happen soon in Barcelona, we had the chance to host this beautiful interview of Tomas Diez, leader of Barcelona Fablab and one of the most knowledgeable person on earth about…
Some weeks ago we launched our contest to see what you can do with a 3Drag printer and some results to achieve. With this post, we are showcasing you some cool stuff made by 3Drag fans: you can already find much hacks and mods for this 3D printer across the Internet, and some of these…
In the past months we presented the Arduino Yun and Arduino Galileo boards. Today we present you a new board, quite more powerful, but still Arduino compatible and powered with GNU/Linux. It’s an all Italian board called UDOO. Indeed, now almost every month we see the birth of a new platform that integrates processors capable…
Rome Maker Faire 2014 just opened the Call For Makers! Call for makers Maker Faire showcases the amazing work of all kinds and ages of makers—anyone who is embracing the do-it-yourself (or do-it-together) spirit and wants to share their accomplishments with an appreciative audience. via Call for makers | www.makerfairerome.eu.
When I went to visit Maker Faire Rome earlier in 2013, in October, I stumbled upon an amazing project that caught my eye. It maybe was for the bright colours of for the stylish design, these small, (as big as a washing machine) greenhouses just grabbed my interest. I wasn’t surprised then, when just few…
Probably, the best use you could do with a Raspberry Pi would be turning it in a full-fledged media center. With some tuning, a Raspberry Pi can become indeed a device that audiophiles will love, or a tiny board that can empower you television to become a 2014-like smart TV. All you need is some…
Once experimented with REST technology and with the “Bridge” communication mode, we can introduce a project that achieves something difficult so far with an Arduino board: writing a web page, to be run by Linino’s internal web server uHttpd, to manage the pins of Arduino with REST, but via a web page. We will show…
The last time I wrote about the best hacks available for a board, I had so much to choice between; now instead, writing about Arduino Yún and all of its best hacks, it was difficult to me to find really good projects, because the platform is so young. While Raspberry Pi had a strong community,…
There’s been a lot of talking around the Bee collapse problem and you may be already informed about the topic but, just in case you are not, the excellent information available on this article will help you navigate. Wanna know the punchline? Well, “Honeybees Are Still Dying and We Still Don’t Know Why” and that’s…
With this short guide we release today, we will explain you how to use your Arduino Yun to do something that was never accomplished before with a board of such family. We’ll face a real embedded project, with its set of sensors and management and control applications. Thanks to our experiment shield (more info), you’ll manage…
