Blue Dot links the Pi to an Android app that displays a blue dot on the handset. This blue dot can interact with a wide variety of Pi-connected hardware. It is an android…
If you think of a hardware controller as a way of turning physical input into digital music, this really is a glimpse of what happens when you make digital music into physical output. The cleverest thing Johannes has done is to nicely productize the core of the system: Dadamachines. The automat controller box, the brains…
A self-balancing robot is a great way to get introduced to control theory and robotics in general. The ability for a robot to sense its position and its current set of circumstances and then to make a proportional response to accomplish its goal is key to all robotics. While hobby robots might use cheap servos or…
