The Robot Core is produced by Second Robotics and serves as an essential connecting piece between the often numerous motors and sensors of a robot and the main controller. Additionally, the Robot Core is designed to be compatible with the Arduino open source platform as well as Raspberry Pi systems. This compatibility allows both veteran…
5 years ago the first Raspberry Pi board was launched on the market. Now they celebrate their birthday revealing a new variant of Raspberry Pi Zero with wireless LAN and Bluetooth: the Raspberry Pi Zero W precisely. Here’s the full feature list for Zero W: 1GHz, single-core CPU 512MB RAM Mini-HDMI port Micro-USB On-The-Go port Micro-USB power…
Linux Kernel 4.10 introduces new features for the open source community. The one sentence overview would be lots of open-source graphics driver work (as always), the open-source NVIDIA driver is killing it with this release, Intel TBM3 support, UBIFS file-encryption, more AMD Zen/Ryzen code, more ARM SoCs/platforms being mainlined, DAX iomap support, and a fair…
Mime Industries is running a crowdfunding campaign for MeArm Pi, a robotic arm powered by Raspberry Pi. The kit includes a Pi HAT that holds the joysticks for controlling the arm, and can also be controlled using Scratch, Blockly, Python or Javascript. Mime has also built an app using Node.js, making the arm controllable via a web…
Are you sure? Are you telling me the truth? How many times have you heard these words from you partner? With Dante Roumega’s lie detector it’s time to move on. This system works by measuring an individual’s galvanic skin response, which is a fancy way of saying their conductivity. The basis for the project is that our skin changes its conductivity depending…
The Fishino project is constantly evolving to provide always the best IoT development boards you may need. We are doing our best to upgrade our products and to make them easier to buy: from that purpose the collaboration with TME. Now you can choose two different ways to buy your Fishino board: Open-Electronics Store TME…
“I wanted the end product to represent peacefulness, I wanted to bring some zen to my living-room. I think that I did.” This is what instructables user MakrToolbox said to explain his project purpose. The table consists of a piece of plate glass covering a “garden” of sand and stones. On top of this is…
The Michigan Tech associate professor Joshua Pearce, According to a study at Michigan Technological University, says that the average consumer can also make up to 1000% return of investment with a 3D printer by using it to print household goods instead of buying them outright. With a Lulzbot Mini RepRap 3D printer, used for research,…
A Microsoft researchers team have built and open sourced a simulation tool to help people train autonomous cars, drones and robots learn how to avoid obstacles just like they would in the real world. It’s called the Aerial Informatics and Robotics Platform, or AirSim for short. Available for Linux and Windows, it lets you generate a random environment…
How many people have the original Game Boy yet, in a drawer somewhere? I’m one of them, I still have my perfectly good and unused Game Boy. Someone else decided to give a new life to his Nintendo by turning it to a remote drone controller. Piloting unmanned aircraft with a Game Boy is not…
Have you ever thought to improve your coffee machine features? Tropical Labs not only thought about it, but they also made it real by creating something different, maybe better: a delta-style 3d printing out of a coffee maker. They entirely circumvented the need of most 3d printers for linear rails and bearings by using a…
With a DVD laser pick-up, an Arduino Uno, a laser, and an LDR, Instructables user “Venkes” has managed to create a DIY Laser Scanning Microscope (LSM). It’s capable of 1300x magnification and attaining a resolution of 65,536 pixels (256 x 256) in an area of .05 x .05mm. A laser microscope works by shining a beam of light on…
