In this video, IoT (Internet of Things) is introduced, which literally means “internet of things.” The video begins with an introduction to IoT and then provides an overview of its application fields. Subsequently, it delves into discussing the hardware required to make a device capable of connecting to the internet, specifically analyzing two boards:…
The major highlight of the 2023 edition will be the creation of an entire pavilion spanning 10,000 square meters entirely dedicated to the sport. “PADEL SMASH FUTURE” is the proposed format for these thrilling three days. Since its first edition at Maker Faire Rome, the theme of Healthcare & Wellbeing has been a focal point…
The home automation project for curtains is an innovative idea to make daily life more convenient and comfortable. By using stepper motors and the Tasmota software, it becomes easy to control the opening and closing of curtains without the need to get up from the couch. Pre-packaged solutions for automating curtains can be expensive or…
There are numerous ESP8266 modules available, and they are often used in battery-powered IoT applications that, with the correct configuration, can run for months. In this guide, you will learn how to power an ESP8266 using lithium-ion batteries and how to configure it correctly. You will also be able to simulate battery life…
In some of the ESP32 projects featured in the magazine Elettronica In, a Telegram bot is used to receive alarm notifications, event alerts, and even control the module’s outputs. In these detailed videos, Dario Ciceri (the tutor for the ESP32 course) explains how to configure a Telegram bot using the Arduino IDE. If you’re interested…
Among the simplest platforms for connecting IoT devices is Blynk IoT. Blynk allows you to quickly create apps to control wireless modules, visualize data from sensors, create dataloggers, and much more. In this two-part mini course, Michele Maffucci provides detailed explanations on how to make the most out of Blynk.
We place metal foil notes on a panel and play our music by touching them, creating a melody from a truly original instrument. Those who know a little about music or have good memories of the “music education” hours at secondary school (or secondary school, to put it in a modern way), will certainly…
If your Blu-ray player has gone from being the centerpiece of your home theater to a dust-collecting ornament, here’s a project for you. Doctor Volt recently published a post explaining how to transform a Samsung BD-J5900 Blu-ray player into a laser scanning microscope. One of the main advantages of a laser scanning microscope over optical…
Arcade games have captivated entire generations. Tasty Cakes is among those who have spent hours and hours playing these games. The passion was so great that they decided to replicate the Arcade Grand Piano Keys using an LED matrix and an Arduino Micro. The author has made all the code and 3D files available for…
The concept of transferring energy without wires has always been a desire of mankind. Numerous experiments have been conducted in this field, with Nikola Tesla’s experiments being among the most famous. Thanks to these research efforts, we can now wirelessly charge our mobile phones and other devices. For those who wish to continue experimenting, there…
James Bruton is well-known for his (often eccentric) inventions, which he regularly documents on his channels. In this video, he demonstrates how he has created remote-controlled rovers that engage in punches. 🙂
A load cell is a sensor designed to measure the weight of an object. Essentially, it is an aluminum bar containing 4 resistive strain gauges that are measured through a Wheatstone bridge to detect the weight of the object. In this project, using a small Microchip ATtiny1614 and a 5kg load cell, a 3D-printed scale…
