One of our prime passions is to motivate the next great minds and ideas by posting informative step-by-step tutorials. To celebrate the launch of our fourth-generation muscle sensor, the MyoWare, we've revisited our most popular tutorial and simplified it down to just four major components! This Instructable will teach you to build a bionic glove using our fourth-generation muscle sensor, the MyoWare. Simpl ...

There are several ways to produce a negative voltage from a positive voltage source, including using a transformer or two inductors and/or multiple switches. However, none are as easy as using the LTC3863, which is elegant in its simplicity, has superior efficiency at light loads and reduces parts count compared to alternative solutions. Advanced Controller Capabilities The LTC3863 can produce a –0.4V to –1 ...

The terahertz (THz) region, which is based on 1THz frequency, separates electronics from photonics and has been difficult to access for ages. Semiconductor electronics cannot handle frequencies equal to or greater than 100GHz due to various transport-time related limitations. In other hand, photonics devices fail to work below 10THz as photon’s energy significantly drops to thermal energy. Terahertz Electro ...

If you fancy building your very own robot you may be interested in a new project tutorial that allows you to create an Arduino based delta robot with Delta 3D printer. The modular kit has been created by Doan Hong Trung and is based on a Arduino Mega and a RAMPS 1.4 board. Check out the videos below to learn more about the first open source Delta robot kit which will soon be launching via Kickstarter. https ...

This instructable will teach you to build a simple Arduino based Voting machine using simple components such as push buttons and LCD. The highlighting feature of this system is that Serial Monitor in Arduino IDE is used to perform the polling operation no other external applications needed. Key Features: Every step of polling operation will be under control of the supervisor.Password enabled security system ...

Born in 2014 from the simple idea of making 3D printing accessible for everyone, Filippo Moroni and Pietro Gabriele worked on new technology to develop a high quality 3D printer that was affordable and easy to use. Their goal was to make the most diffused printer in the world and to develop a worldwide community around it. After 2 years of hard work, ONO has developed and grown into the first 3D printer of ...

The miniSpartan3 is our new, low cost, tiny, FPGA kit.  It starts at just $29, and there is a more powerful FPGA chip available for $39. Features: The Spartan 3A XC3A50 FPGA ($29), or the Spartan 3A XC3A200 FPGA ($39) from Xilinx. An on-board USB JTAG Programmer to power and program your FPGA. An on board USB to Serial Interface. One HDMI  output port. 41 digital I/O pins. A 4-channel analog to digital conv ...

How do you know if your 3D printer bed is levelled? Oh, don’t worry – you’ll know. Without a level bed, filament won’t stick properly to the build surface and you’ll run into all sorts of other problems. Knowing how tricky it can be to get the bed just right, [Antzy] built a tool to help. The device, which he calls the FS-Touch, is based around an Arduino Pro Micro fitted with a force sensitive resistor. Th ...

Radios are, by and large, not powered by steam. One could make the argument that much of our municipal electricity supply does come via steam turbines, but that might be drawing a long bow. Regardless, steampunk remains a popular and attractive aesthetic, and it’s the one that [Christine] selected for her radio build. The build cribs from [Christine’s] earlier work on a VFD alarm clock, using similar tubes ...

[Diyguypt] may be an altruist to provide the means for people who can’t manipulate chess pieces to play the game. Or he may just have his hands too busy with food and drink to play. Either way, his voice command chessboard appears to work, although it has a lot of moving parts both figuratively and literally. You can check out the video below to see how it works. The speech part is handled by an Android pho ...

A Smart Irrigation System is designed, in which the irrigation will take place only when there will be intense requirement of water [gallery columns="2" size="medium" ids="31116,31117"] as suggested by the moisture in the soil. The aim of our project is to minimize this manual intervention by the farmer, which is why we are using a microcontroller. Smart Irrigation System PDF   Read More Detail :Smart ...

Story Update 08-15-2015: Project converted to Visual Studio 2015 RTM  Luminosity Sensor Sample using Windows IoT Core As you all know Microsoft released Insider Preview of Windows 10 IoT Core recently. I too download and installed it on my RPi2. While playing with Windows 10 IoT Core, I decided to work on TSL2561 Luminosity Sensor using I2C. Here is the sample I created this weekend. In this project I am us ...
