We always love to see projects where you can build your own lab equipment so [CompactDIY’s] homemade seismograph caught our eye. The design uses an Arduino with an accelerometer and builds on one of their earlier projects. You can see a video of the device below. The principle is simple. A hobby servo controls a pen and […]

Simon Kemper has published a guide for making use of the low-cost Dragino LGT-92 LoRaWAN asset tracking system to help track a bike when it’s stolen for easy recovery, while running for years on a single battery. Dragino LGT-92 is built for asset tracking across a LoRaWAN connection (a long-range low-power radio standard). The Dragino LGT-92 integrates a LoRaWAN radio with GPS-based location tracking. For

The idea for this project came from one of my favorite ‘ibles: the polargraph. I loved the drawing style and thought how cool would it be to do this on the side of a building? Unfortunately the challenges to setting up such a large polargraph on a student budget pushed me to find an alternate

There is a lot of buzz going around Arduino and the series of boards. One of the most used board from the Arduino series is the Arduino Uno. But what many people don’t notice is that there is a board similar to Arduino UNO but has many more features. That board is called Freescale K64F. In this

The Memsic 2125 (datasheet) is a two-axis accelerometer capable of measuring acceleration up to plus or minus 2g. It has a simple digital interface: two pins (one for each axis) emit pulses whose duration corresponds to the acceleration of that axis. By measuring the length of that pulse, in microseconds, using the Arduino’s pulseIn() function,

While Python currently sits atop the throne of the most popular programming language in the world, languages like javascript have been creeping around the throne with different frameworks and APIs that have taken the language beyond use of web development. This was evident in Espruino as it opened up the doors to the use of javascript in programming microcontrollers. The success

We enjoy access to cheap stuff because of the mass market for things like mice, keyboards, and cell phones. But if you need a device that doesn’t have mass appeal, you will have to pay a lot more if you can find it at all. However, with modern techniques like 3D printing and Arduino-like microcontrollers
