The maker Nikodem Bartnik has just created a 3d printed CNC machine that’s able to cut MDF and acrylic and can engrave aluminum. As for how well this CNC machine works, it’s pretty good. With the Gcode to cut an 80mm diameter circle out of MDF, this machine managed to cut a circle that was 80.02 mm…
If you are concerned about your social networking accounts, cloud storage or falling foul to sophisticated phishing techniques online, you may be interested in a new open source FIDO2 security key that is equipped with both NFC wireless technology and a USB connection. Multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of protection, and Solo is the…
Arduino enthusiasts patiently waiting for the arrival of the Arduino PRO Gateway for LoRa will be pleased to know that the Arduino Pro Gateway for LoRa (868 MHz , EU version) is now available to preorder priced at €350. Combined with Arduino MKR WAN 1300 IoT nodes, it makes an ideal solution for a wide…
The new Pi 3 Model A+ is supposed to be a smaller model but with most of the advantages of the Model B+. It has similar specifications, except that you get 512MB of RAM instead of 1GB, there’s only one USB 2.0 port and the Ethernet port is gone. It costs $25, or $10 less…
Instructables user Sieuwe Elferink has just created a semi-autonomous kids’ four-wheeler. The Arduino powered Quad can steer itself within a set of lines, and stop for pedestrians and inanimate objects. For this project you will need the following materials: 3x TCRT5000 line sensor 1x HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor 4x 5V relay 1x Windshield wiper motor 1x Arduino 2x tooth…
Let’s get familiar with a programming language optimizing how we can write code for our Fishino boards, hosted on the board itself. Programming 32-bit Fishino boards can be an easy and light task by using specific tools and platforms; we have found it out in part one of the stories (published in this year’s…
Sony’s PlayStation Classic is being made with an existing open-source emulator that the company has licensed. Rather than produce an emulator of its own, Sony has chosen to use a classic of the emulation world in the PCSX ReARMed emuator. ReARMed is a popular, modernized branch of the original PCSX emulator, which was actively developed from 2000…
The Picam360 is open source Raspberry Pi based camera that takes panoramic pictures in 360 degrees horizontally and 235 degrees vertically, controlled through a web browser and Surface Walker is an open source aquatic drone built around this Picam360 platform. The Surface Walker is a watercraft with a urethane foam hull, a 100 Watt solar panel,…
Radxa is working on a Raspberry pi like board called the Rock Pi that runs Linux or Android on a hexa-core Rockchip RK3399 SoC, starting at $39 with 1GB RAM. The Rock Pi matches the RPi 3 layout, but unlike the RPi 3B or 3B+, the GbE port is native, giving you at least 939Mbps — about…
If you find soldering enjoyable and relaxing, this is likely a good project for you. To create his clock, the maker Electronoobs has soldered LED filaments onto a steel wire frame. I’ve made some “nixie” tubes. These are actually 7 segments displays made with filament LEDs but placed in a plastic bottle so it will have…
We introduce a programming language to optimize code for our Fishino boards. Part one. What do squirrels and our appreciated little fishes have in common? Very little apparently, but actually, as you will see by reading this article, they have a lot in common, because the combination of the two “critters” can lead to…
“I built this costume for the Edmonton Comic Expo 2018, but also because I have kids, nieces, and nephews, and a costume like this scores mega points, doesn’t it?” This amazing creation requires both a child and an adult to make it work. The suit is beautifully designed by creator Gridlock Cosplay, and features an…
