Starting from an existing design from a 2013 research done at UC Berkeley, this Arduino-powered bot created by Ali Aslam is built entirely from printed parts and off the shelf hardware. An Arduino Pro Mini combined with tiny Pololu motor controllers is enough to get the bot rolling, and a Flysky FS-X6B receiver is onboard so…
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…
A group of engineers from the University of Antwerp in Belgium have put their skills towards good with the invention of a 3D printed humanoid robot that can translate speech into sign language: their project is called Project Aslan. The research project, which is being sponsored by European Institute of Otorhinolaryngology, currently consists of a…
Using an Arduino board and motor controllers, maybe you can solve the pre-departure stress. The backpack in question is wheeled around by two motors on mounts made out of paint sticks. The drive train of this robot consists of two powered wheels, and the two original wheels of the backpack. The only change that needs…
ZeroDriver is an Arduino Zero-compatible dual-motor driver board for robotics and mechatronics projects. Robotics projects usually need two boards – a microcontroller board and a separate driver for the motors. ZeroDriver combines both in one for your convenience. ZeroDriver comes with the same microcontroller as an Arduino Zero – a 48 MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ chip which…
The ZeroBorg is a new add on board for controlling motors using the incredible $5 computer Raspberry Pi Zero. The project has already hit the 300% funding on Kickstarter in less than 10 days. A Raspberry Pi Zero, ZeroBorg and a 9V battery weigh as little as 65g! The ZeroBorg can control 4 motors independently…
