A modular laptop built with a Raspberry Pi. An ergonomic, programmable, mechanical keyboard made from slabs of maple, so it looks like a solid-state electric guitar. A device that plugs into a wall socket that allows you to control devices from your smart phone. What do these and hundreds of other devices – from wearable…
Great DIY wearable project on Indiegogo now, 36 days left. Let’s help them reaching the target! We love electronics, especially Wearables, and that is why we have made super cool modules that include heart rate detection, movement, non contact temperature sensing, and ultraviolet (UV), infra-red (IR), and light sensing technology. We are also one of…
Liatris is an open-source hardware and software project (led by roboticist Mark Silliman) that does away with vision completely. Instead, you can determine the identity and pose of slightly modified objects with just a touchscreen and an RFID reader. It’s simple, relatively inexpensive, and as long as you’re not trying to deal with anything new, it…
It’s so simple, really. What we all want is to build something that solves a problem in the best way we can. And we want it fast. And cheap. But it’s not so simple, after all. There are a myriad of combinations and permutations that will get you (eventually) from here to there. How can…
“This new power for the driving of the world’s machinery will be derived from the energy which operates the universe, the cosmic energy, whose central source for the earth is the sun and which is everywhere present in unlimited quantities.” –Nikola Tesla Many smart creations have been attributed to Tesla, one of the most brilliant…
Yesterday we talked about Hackaday Prize 2015, here’s one of the really interesting projects presented: an open source Arduino compatible PPG Oxymeter. Good luck to Rajendra Bhatt! Easy Pulse Plugin is an open-source pulse sensor based on the principle of photoplethysmography (PPG), which is a non-invasive technique of measuring the cardiovascular pulse wave by detecting…
Sensly is a portable pollution sensor capable of detecting the air pollution levels using its onboard gas sensors to collect information about the various gases present. This information can be fed directly to your smartphone for real time push notification updates. Sensly uses industrial sensors that assure an accurate reading of the office, home, or work…
This incredible printer got 50% of the requested funding in only 9 hours! Find out why! LumiPocket LT is the first multi-purpose, SCARA-based, Light curing 3D Printer. It is an affordable, standalone, compact tool that can take your Maker projects to a new level! It is more than “just” a high quality, resin based 3D…
Chad Herbert’s son Daniel was diagnosed with Benign Rolandic Epilepsy in 2014. It’s a type of epilepsy the Epilepsy Foundation says accounts for about 15 percent of all Epilepsies in children and the good news is that most children grow out of it. The bad news is that Daniel’s most affected by his condition at night or early morning…
The “Enchanted Cottage” is a project by Andy Clark with the aim of upgrading a traditional german “wetter haus” with a new mechanism and electronics running on Arduino Yún: The mechanics were replaced with a servo and 3D printed parts designed to make the movement linear rather than arcing as in the traditional approach. The figures…
Tomas Amberg shared with us the link to an Instructable he published on how to build a Web-enabled, Arduino-based IoT Gauge with a REST API, and connect it to the IFTTT mash-up platform, via the Yaler.net relay service he founded. The cool thing about this project is the connection with the Maker Channel of IFTTT which supports…
This project is so interesting, let’s help them to target the requested funding! Pi Cubes is modular DIY/Hobby HVAC Automation system based on the Raspberry Pi Linux Board. System is designed on the principles that commercial Building/HVAC automation systems are designed, only leveraged down to the Hobby/DIY market. Pi-Cubes provides a complete solution by using…
