Discover the ePaper smart journal, an open-source electronic notebook built with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, a Waveshare ePaper display, and an M5Stack CardKB keyboard. It offers the simplicity of paper with the power of a computer, perfect for capturing ideas without distractions.
A new open-source project shows how to combine computer vision and robotics on a single board, using the Arduino UNO Q to detect and follow a human face in real time without cloud support.
The metro cities all around the world are facing a lot of problem because of the increasing population, which is resulting in an exponential pollution rise, which is a very serious problem and needs immediate attention. But the problem is that there is no proper monitoring device for these Urban environments, so we are…
Flappy Bird was released by programmer Dong Nguyen in 2013, and made use of a straightforward game mechanic to create an addictive hit. Tapping the screen provided ‘lift’ to the main character, which is used strategically to navigate through a series of moving pipes. A point is scored for each pipe successfully passed. The…
If you have multiple applications open in Windows, you may want one to be louder than the other, but what if you want to adjust levels with physical sliders like an actual DJ? If that sounds interesting, check out this controller by “Aithorn.” The device uses an Arduino Nano to read signals from each slider and pass this…
I had the opportunity to work with Noe Ruiz from Adafruit to write some CircuitPython code for the PyPortal Titano Weather Station. The PyPortal boards have a SAMD51 along with an ESP32 co-processor, which allows them to connect to Wi-Fi and run CircuitPython. This project displays a live feed of the current weather for your…
Build a smart planter with Adafruit PyPortal and CircuitPython. Monitor your plants vitals with Adafruit STEMMA Soil Sensor and plot moisture and temperature data. Use Adafruit IO to create a visual dashboard with gauges of your plants water levels. The display shows an animation of the water levels and moisture and temperature values. The planter…
This PyPortal project shows one notable electronic or science fact every day. Based on what day it is, CircuitPython code grabs JSON data from a database and then prints information about the person associated with that day. Want more info on the person? Use the QR code! More info
A fantastic feature of any WiFi-enabled microcontroller like ESP8266 NodeMCU is the ability to update its firmware wirelessly. This is known as Over-The-Air (OTA) programming. More info
Seems like everybody’s getting into the AI and robotics game — at least the companies and research institutions that can afford to build their platforms from the ground up are. France’s Pollen Robotics, on the other hand, aims to kickstart the robotics revolution with its open-source system, Reachy. The robot, being open-source, is capable…
The Portenta Carrier exposes all of the extra capabilities of the processor on the Portenta board through connectors and peripherals that do not physically fit on it like connectors for USB, RJ-45, CAN bus, audio in and out lines, camera, DisplayPort, etc. The design expands the default communication ports of Portenta boards to other wired…
