Phil Underwood has spent twenty years mapping underground caves. His work has produced a series of open hardware devices that increase the speed and accuracy of surveys, culminating in a complete photogrammetry system based on a Raspberry Pi 5 Compute Module.
Cirkit Designer is an AI-powered platform for designing, simulating, and prototyping electronic circuits, supporting popular boards like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi with a real-time simulator and a library of over 30,000 components.
Learn how to build a Bluetooth-controlled fire truck using the Arduino UNO R4 Minima board, an HC-05 module, and a water pump. This step-by-step guide covers components, assembly, programming, and testing.
This article shows how to drive a large WS2812B LED ring with a Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico 2, creating festive light effects and even using the ring as a low-resolution display.
This article describes a GSM-based emergency call system with an RF receiver that sends calls and SMS to pre-programmed numbers when a small wearable transmitter is activated. It is designed for elderly people and bedridden patients who need to call for help with a single press of a button.
Chinedum Okwudire, associate professor of mechanical engineering who directs U-M’s Smart and Sustainable Automation Research Lab, and his team have been experimenting with a new way of controlling 3D printers, where stepper motor commands (and other low-level control commands) are generated in the Cloud, rather than on a microcontroller. Web-based wireless host platforms like 3DPrinterOS,…
Microchip announced in February two new microcontroller families with “Core Independent Peripherals and Intelligent Analog”: respectively PIC16F18446 family of microcontrollers, and ATmega4809 megaAVR microcontrollers, with the latter to be integrated in the next generation of Arduino boards. “The ATmega4809 has been selected to be the on-board microcontroller of a next-generation Arduino board. The addition of the…
The open source sensorless BLDC motor controller offers a modular system that includes a Texas Instruments microcontroller MSP430FR5949. The motor controller is now on Kickstarter with pledges starting from $19 for the processor module: shipping is expected to start during April 2018 and comes complete with open source firmware. The modular design also allows you…
Romeo family is an All-in-One Arduino based control board especially designed for robotics applications from DFRobot. It benefits from the Arduino open source platform and it is supported by thousands of open source codes. The Romeo BLE has integrated bluetooth 4.0, it is the first time to give a robot control board the power of easy…
A JavaScript microcontroller you can program wirelessly – perfect for IoT devices! No software needed so get started in seconds.
