The HACKberry is a 3D printable electric prosthetic arm created by exiii Inc a Japanese robotics company based in Tokyo and specialised in bionic arms. The hand works by detecting when nerve and muscle tissue is stimulated by signals from the brain and sends that data to an onboard micro controller to translate into hand…
This tutorial shows an interesting way to read the environment temperaturewith Arduino, and shows it on a LCD 16×2 display (in Fahrenheit), by using some elements from its programming and the LM35DZ temperature sensor. – 1 Arduino board – 1 LCD 16×2 display – 1 10K potentiometer – 1 Temperature LM35 sensor – Jumpers for…
Arduino Day is a worldwide birthday celebration of Arduino and Genuino. It’s a 24 hours-long event –organized directly by the community, or by the Arduino founders– where people interested in Arduino and Genuino get together, share their experiences, and learn more. You can attend an event or organize one for your community. It doesn’t matter…
Electroencephalography (EEG) measures bioelectrical activity in the brain – specifically bio-electrical signals generated by the cerebral cortex nerve cells. The tricky point here is to use those signals to control a small robot car. 1. The EEG sensor receives a signal In order to detect the EEG signals from other noise, we need a reference…
BeGo is an open source smartwatch startup from Finland.They have designed and produced a fully open source smartwatch and they are ready to start an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. Smartwatch market is still on its early development stage and only few players now dominating this market. Most of them are offering high end smartwatches with touch…
Immediately after the release of the mature Vulkan 1.0 API, Intel’s Jason Ekstrand was proud to announce the initial availability of an open-source Vulkan driver for Intel hardware. The Vulkan-based open-source driver for Intel GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) is developed by the Intel Mesa team and promises to support Intel processors from the fifth and…
The team behind ReactOS, an open-source reimplementation of Windows, released a new version that brings improved hardware support and better filesystem support, among a variety of other changes. ReactOS is a free and open source implementation of the Windows NT architecture, which intends to provide support for existing applications and drivers, outside of the control…
A new initiative by AMD to create an open source toolchain for GPU development could make machine learning frameworks easier to develop! Upon the project’s official launch, Nicolas Thibieroz, senior manager of worldwide gaming engineering at AMD, described GPUOpen’s three main goals: Allow developers to exert more control over the GPU; use open source software…
Colorado-based open source 3D printer and hardware manufacturer Aleph Objects, Inc. saw record profits in 2015 as sales tripled. The record-breaking year of sales, driven primarily by their popular LulzBot TAZ 5 and LulzBot Mini 3D printers, pulled in nearly $15 million in year-over-year revenue. The company also grew to over 100 employees, and they are…
Bespoke Electromechanical Instrument was built by Jay Harrison as part of a dissertation undertaken on the Creative Music Technology degree course at Staffordshire University. The instrument, running on Arduino Mega 2560 is designed to allow each note to be independently placed in a space. In the video below the instrument is arranged in a 24-foot surround configuration…
United Nations will fund 60 startups to create open source technologies to improve the lives of children in developing countries. Each will receive, if using open source and could show a working prototype, around $50,000. The investment will be channeled through a “Venture Capital” funding method, for a total amount of $9,000,000. Fabian said: “Companies…
Ever wanted to learn electronics but didn’t know where to start? Are you curious to create interactive projects with sensors found commonly around you (home, smartphones, office, car, etc)? Are you interested in creating your own “Internet of Things” smart sensing devices? Look no further! At OSEPP, we developed the 101 Sensor Kit to…
