Google and Arduino have partnered together to developer and launch the Arduino Science Kit Physics Lab, the first official Arduino kit designed for middle school curriculum. The kit provides schoolers with a hands-on experience, enabling them to explore forces, motion, and conductivity with their classmates. Students can make their own hypothesis like a real scientist,…
As you probably guessed from the name, the pi-top 4 is the fourth product in the pi-top lineup of educational tools. The pi-top 3, for example, is a modular Raspberry Pi laptop. But, the pi-top 4 is going in a different direction. The pi-top 4 puts the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ in a case…
Generally Orange Pi devices don’t have the same level of community support as their Raspberry Pi rivals, but they often make up for it by offering a decent set of features at an affordable price. So the latest Orange Pi 3 offers a number of features (some optional, some standard) that you don’t get with…
Not content with a 3D printer that spends most of its life in a basement workshop or home office, the YouTuber Thomas Sanladerer decided to build a completely mobile 3D printer. He modified a small inexpensive unit to run on battery power and with WiFi access point onboard to control it with a smartphone. Sanladerer chose the Printrbot…
BurgessWorld Custom Electronics has launched a new Raspberry Pi shield that allows you to combine in the same project the power of a Raspberry Pi Zero (W) SBC with the flexibility of Arduino. The Arduino-compatible shield is highly compatible and allows you to mount and power a Raspberry Pi Zero or the new Zero W…
James Bruton has just created an Arduino-powered robot that is able to boil an egg for you (for now), but he’s planning to expand its repertoire as a sort of ongoing theme/project. The robot first holds an egg in a metal basket and rotates it over a nearly boiling saucepan using a servo along with…
By supporting concurrent communication over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Sub-1GHz wireless, the STMicroelectronics STEVAL-FKI001V1 dual-radio development kit gives unrivaled flexibility to envision, build and connect IoT devices like smart sensors, finders and trackers which can be configured, updated, remotely monitored and tracked using various network topologies, protocols and services. The Kit integrates two radios,…
Measurement Computing Corporation announced the release of their MCC 152 voltage output and digital I/O HAT for the Raspberry Pi. Many DAQ users are creating systems around the Raspberry Pi platform, and the growing base of Raspberry Pi users is making single-board-computers more common in professional DAQ applications. The $99 MCC 152 is equipped with…
Youtuber Electronic Grenade, a DIY enthusiast, has created something truly impressive in the form of a mouse that doubles up as a full-fledged computer. Aptly called ‘The Computer Mouse’, the device has a small colour display, a slide-out keyboard, and of course, a fully-functional mouse which also forms the main body. The mouse is a…
Alias is a teachable “parasite” that is designed to give users more control over their smart assistants, both when it comes to customisation and privacy. This open-source device trains custom wake-up names for smart home devices while disturbing their built-in microphone. It’s composed of a 3D-printed top layer, a mic array, raspberry pi, and two…
This Raspberry Pi Zero powered retro themed Chess Challenger, is an open source hardware design capable of running an up to date open source chess engine, Stockfish. The original game was devised by Fidelity Electronics, and took the form of a chess set with what appeared to be a calculator of some sort built into…
Ian Bernstein, founder and head of product at Misty Robotics is calling for a departure from thinking of robots as tools and machines to thinking of them more as platforms. Misty is looking to employ the collective skills of STEM students, tinkerers, and robotics majors to begin programming and using the Misty II for their…
