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…
The RISC-V open-source architecture, created by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, in 2010, is open to all who want to use it. The RISC-V design can be modified for PCs, servers, smartphones, wearables, and other devices. RISC-V shares the ethos of open-source software, with the community working together to share, advance, and modify the architecture….
Built around an NXP LPC1769 Cortex-M3 MCU, the JuicyBoard has surpassed its modest funding goals on Crowd Supply, providing a modular, open source development kit for stepper motor oriented devices such as 3D printers and CNC routers. The kits are based on one of two development boards: a 125 x 66mm R1000A board with 10 feature slots…
I definitely like vehicle design and especially open source electrical vehicles. OSVehicle is a charming movement that is exploring all aspects of designing vehicles! TABBY EVO is our completely re-engineered from scratch open source platform for electric vehicles. It is an open source framework for the creation of vehicles: it can be used to bootstrap businesses…
Hack is characterized by a large x-height, wide aperture, and low contrast design in order to be “highly legible” at common coding text sizes. Its “sweet spot runs in the 8px-12px range on modern desktop and laptop monitors,” Simpkins, creator of HACK, writes on GitHub. “Combine it with an HD monitor and you can comfortably work at…
Although we’ve seen how much of an impact 3D printed prosthetic devices can have from both a design customization standpoint as well as cost, we’re still yet to see just how much of an impact a 3D printed ‘smart’ prosthetic may have as we move into a new generation of connected devices. While we’ve previously…
3D Printing is strongly pushing the research and development of human and animal prosthetic forward. Organizations like e-Nable are gathering funds to help reaching more people both on scientists side and on patients as well, while also clever and motivated individuals are leading by example with their awesome work. An Industrial Design student residing in…
