Let’s build an interactive table equipped with a display and manual commands to create everything from videogames to animations for communication, teaching and entertainment. LED strips with serial control, and Neopixels in particular, allow us to create, when conveniently combined, many lighting effects and even matrix displays that can go up to remarkable dimensions;…
Sure it’s not an open source hardware news, but it’s an open source relevant news definitely, anyway! Ikea has now decided to support the creative conversion of its products with a new line of furniture that breaks with tradition, leaving plenty of room for people to truly make it their own. The open source concept means that third-party designers…
Interesting project to take inspiration by, a word clock featuring Arduino to control the “minute words”! As I was making a word clock, based on another instructable ( http://www.instructables.com/id/My-Arduino-WordClock/ ), me and my sister were wondering whether a round design would be cool too.
