[youtube id=”euv3kv9kpEg” width=”620″ height=”360″] After a fair amount of work we can finally presents you a tutorial on how to modify our 3Drag printer or K8200 printer to transform it in a perfect CNC milling machine, to be used for the production of PCBs, by incision. In addition, we also show you the procedures to…
After the Yun presentation post, we are going to present a simple hacking project that is cool to get familiar with the Yun features. In this post, as first taste of using Arduino Yun, we propose an example about using the Temboo API, coupled with the Bridge library to send a Tweet in correspondence of…
This post introduces in details one of the latest boards from the Arduino Team: a board that we still didn’t cover that much on the blog. YÚN’s DNA is that of the Arduino family lately open to new requirements and perspectives: Embedded Linux, Ethernet and WiFi with a board that is easy to use and…
As you probably know if you have one, the overall printing quality of the 3Drag printer is very well suited for the creation of useful items: this time we have created a container for the autonomous printing system. This post, by the way, could really be a good inspiration and guideline not only for the…
Once again we have prepared some examples related to the GSM/GPRS & GPS shield. In previous posts we have seen how to handle SMS, make calls and use the GPRS connection to send email or download data from Internet pages. The shield has been developed to accommodate both forms of SIMComs: SIM900 and SIM908: the…
This post follows a first one in which we presented some tips about how to tune printing (with 3Drag but also in general). Here you’ll find 5 more cool 3D prints to experiment with! Porcupine Vase This is an easy print difficulties, with reduced printing times, but it’s. It belongs to the category of…
After countless hours of playing with 3Drag (now with a lower price!!) we finally selected 10 prints that you can use to explain what you can really make with your 3D printer. 3D printing is every day more often mentioned in the press: lots of stories, ranging from printing human tissues (thus saving lives) to creating…
After having shown several examples regarding the use the GSM/GPRS & GPS shield with calls and text messages we are now going to present some applications that involve GPRS data. Thanks to the inet.h class the shield can indeed connect to the internet and its various applications. We ‘ll see how to use the Arduino as…
This post is one in a series showing you the main features of the GSM /GPRS/GPS shield and of its related library. The examples are great to have inspiration and reuse the material to create your own solutions. We already talked about how to use the shield to make calls, send DTMF tones and…
A few months ago, we presented a powerful shield that can enable devices from the Arduino family (Uno and Mega) to interface with the SIMCOM modules SIM900 and SIM908. Such modules provide integration with the world of GSM, GPRS and GPS and all is achieved through very simple Arduino commands thanks to the open-source dedicated…
With this post we are kicking off an official “Meet the Founders” column to let you get in touch with the best innovators, leaders and startup founders in the field of open and collaborative electronics and hardware. We think that, by putting you in touch with the founders of exciting ventures and creator of successful…
Someone had already imagined, someone else hoped for that, days ago, finally one of the most prominent actors of the Makers ecosystem, Makerbot, announced a commercial desktop 3D Scanner. The good news, for those concerned with the openness of such a system, is that, well before that move, developers already created it: it…
Open-Electronics.org is the brainchild of a world leader in hobby electronics Futura Group srl. Open-Electronics.org is devoted to support development, hacking and playing with electronics: we share exciting open projects and create amazing products!
Open-Electronics.org is not just a container of ideas: it is also a web site lead by a team of engineers and geeks who will take part in the discussions and give support.
Our mission is to become a reference Open Source hacking site with ideas and feedback aimed to enrich the community.
