The recent update to Raspbian OS caused machines to crash and to fail to boot. What happened is that raspi-copies-and-fills package, which implements optimized low-level memory functions for the ARM processor, was updated on March 11th, and the update somehow made some programs completely fail to run. This explains why Bootlin guys were unable to…
If you own a 3d printer and you’re looking for your next weekend project, you may be interested in this cute ePaper mini Weather Station using a AZSMZ Mini 2.9″ complete with 3D printed enclosure. Created by the Thingiverse member tromano32, the weather station 3d printed case has been designed to hold two 18650 cells…
Created by a small team of engineers and designers from SirTeen, based in San Diego, the Aerowood drone comes with 184 basswood parts, a computer board, and a 720p HD camera, which are all ready to slot together like a 3D jigsaw. As a choice of wood, basswood represents an ideal combination of aesthetics, weight…
The Angstrom Tuneable LED Light Source combines 12 channels into a single LED light and is powered via a 5V 60W supply, giving it plenty of room to power what’s onboard, and even more LEDs could theoretically be added if so desired. Cooling is provided by a pair of heatsinks. “Angstrom is a 12 channel…
If you do not have any screen, keyboard, or mouse to control the Raspberry Pi, but you still need to do some wireless setup, there is a facility to enable wireless networking and SSH when creating an image. “If you’re just trying to program on the Pi or use it to control electronics such as…
Would you write your password on a piece of paper and stick it to your forehead? Probably not. Yet connecting to a public Wi-Fi network is almost as foolish. You might not have any choice, however, if you’re on the road and want to stay connected. A VPN can keep you safe, but each device has…
SB Components has gone to Kickstarter to launch an open source hardware and software PiArm robotic arm kit aimed at the DIY maker and education markets. Specifically created for children, makers and those interested in learning more about robotics the DIY robotic arm is easy to construct and program. The 6-axis, 430mm tall PiArm offers…
Created by Mr Innovative, this Arduino based mini radar is capable of detecting objects placed in its line of sight. The 3D-printed console features a small SG90 servo to pan the sensor over a space, picking up obstacles in its path. The readings are then transmitted to an Arduino Nano, which displays object info on a…
Arduino Day is a worldwide birthday celebration of Arduino. It’s a 24 hour-long event – organized directly by the community, or by the Arduino founders – that brings people together to share their experiences and learn more about the open-source platform. Arduino Day 2019 will be celebrated on March 16th and the Arduino team will be holding…
This small version of the Robocop ED 209 robot has been built by Thingiverse member Johnxp, to perfectly house smaller Google Home device. Thanks to a CR-8S and Ender-3S 3D printer he has 3d printed, after some modifications, this amazing case for the google home mini. “This is a remix of ED 209 from Robocop…
The new Avnet SmartEdge Industrial IoT Gateway has been designed specifically to aid those interested in developing industrial automation applications such as, remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, process control and automation and it will support Avnet’s IoT Connect platform to enable cloud connectivity to Microsoft Azure. Equipped with a wide variety of different connection options the IoT…
Omni Wheel CNC plotter is a device with four wheels that allow sliding motion in the X/Y plane courtesy of their perpendicular rollers. to make it more interesting, the maker has attached a pen, along with a servo-based lifting mechanism, turning this robot into a free-range plotter. Omni-wheels only have traction in the direction of…
