Maybe you’re asking how is it possible: this Automated Cat Feeder is the answer. The CatFeeder was build using a Zevro Dry Food Dispenser. Any dispenser can be used – you just need to be sure that it is controlled by a paddle wheel. Your servo needs to be a continuous rotation servo. Other components…
Star Wars fans will be really excited about the opportunity to turn a dream into reality. Through this “tractor beam” you are able to move small objects using sound waves, in the comfort of your own home — at least if you own a 3D printer. The research assistant Asier Marzo and his physicists team of…
Droiko is a high technology gaming micro drone that allows you playing GAMES with your drone. It’s a fully open source product, both hardware and software. As soon as the project is succesfully funded, everything design related will be publicly available: the full code, the electronics schematic and board layout, and the 3D models. These…
A high performance multirotor copter that may be created by starting from a premade base and an Arduino Mega based board, that may receive the commands from a model aircraft’s remote control, and that supports telemetry via smartphones. Nowadays most people call “drone” something that is, actually, a multicopter whose most common form…
3D printing is being part of our lives and we’re probably getting used to the idea of doing it to innovate and improve our work, and why not, our daily existence. It is always worth to look at the reality and not at the illusion, but the data and the market are quite clear. They…
Open source isn’t just changing the way we interact with the world, it’s changing the way the world interacts back with us. Case in point: open source robotics. Hardware projects: A robot is a physical thing, and therefore, both its code and its hardware are subject to licensing. Fortunately, there are a number of open…
Open.Theremin is an open source hardware and software project by Urs Gaudenz of Gaudi Lab with the aim of building the next digital generation of the legendary music instrument developed in the ’20s by the Russian inventor professor Leon Theremin. The project is documented under a open license and uses Open.Theremin.UNO, an Arduino or Genuino Uno…
Open source software has been around for several decades, now, and is defined by the four freedoms it brings to the user: The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0). The freedom to study how the program works and change it so it does your computing as you wish…
A new year started, leving behind a 2015 rich in many projects, innovations and new opportunities offered by the open source hardware community. We hope that this year will be even better, and that will be another year of consolidation for the open source hardware community and also for Open Electronics. Fans who follow us…
What if we have already developed an Arduino application and we want internet connectivity for it? Yun shield is the answer. Yun shield provides Internet connectivity for all Arduino boards. It features the same connectivity functions implemented on Arduino Yun. Yun shield runs the OpenWrt GNU / Linux operating system, specially designed to manage internet…
Tens of thousands of units sold in a few hours, a respectable performance, costs unchanged, here is where Raspberry Pi has decided to be in our future. Here it is. On the desk, switched on, working, calmly, and cold it is processing our applications written for the previous Raspberry Pi model… with eye-rolling…
We love the open source philosphy when we think about OS, hardware, software and programming languages as well. But what about the tool we use to develop our PCB blueprint? FritZing is the solution! Fritzing is an open source application that allows users to create schematics by selecting parts from a large part library, connecting…
