You’ve got to hand it to [Tom Stanton] – he really thinks outside the box. And potentially outside the atmosphere, to wit: we present his reaction control gas thruster-controlled drone. Before anyone gets too excited, [Tom] isn’t building drones for use in a vacuum, although we can certainly see a use case for such devices. This […]
UNCONVENTIONAL DRONE USES GAS THRUSTERS FOR CONTROL Continue Reading
Even as the number of visitors to the Science Centre located behind Super Market here, which also houses the Innovation Hub & Space Education Centre, has steadily increased from 6,775 in 2014 to 17,866 in the past 12 months, its shabby immediate surroundings remains a perennial eyesore. Little or nothing seems to have been done
The ‘tough road’ to Nagaland Science Centre, Dimapur Continue Reading
Save Energy Beautifully !! By using a light dimmer in one’s living room, it’s possible to completely alter the mood and ambience of a room at the drop of a hat. The Internet of Things is set to disrupt the way we live and work. Smart homes filled with connected products are loaded with possibilities
An errant wire snipping across the wrong electrical pins spells the release of your magic smoke. Even if you are lucky, stray parts are the root of boundless malfunctions from disruptive to deadly. [TheRainHarvester] shares his trick for covering an Arduino Nano with some scrap plastic most of us have sitting in the recycling bin. The video is
Author: Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio A tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) aims to monitor air pressure on various automotive systems. The most common TPMS sensors mainly use sub-GHz radio standards to transfer information to the vehicle’s computer. There are two different types: direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS). The use of bluetooth low energy (BLE) connectivity

3A TEC Driver Module is a complete power stage solution to drive Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC). The required DC voltage input controls the output current. It consists of the Texas instruments DRV593 power driver IC, along with a few discrete passive components required for operation. It also includes jumpers for configuring the features of the device,
The next big breakthrough for electronics is likely to be quantum computers, which will increase digitized memory capacity exponentially and allow scientists to start tackling problems that our classical computers have no hope of handling right now. Companies like IBM are starting to make some headway, but there are still plenty of hurdles to jump
Nanoscale refrigerator helps quantum computers keep their cool Continue Reading
After initially launching throughout the United States, the Arduino team has today announced that availability of the new Arduino SIM has now rolled out worldwide to Asia, Australia/NZ, Middle East and Africa, and the Americas (excluding Brazil). The new Arduino SIM has been created to provide developers, makers and hobbyists with the simplest path to
Arduino SIM now available in more countries Continue Reading
The infrared remote control might not hold the seat of honor in the average home theater setup that it once enjoyed, but it’s not quite out to pasture yet. After all, what are you going to use to stop Netflix once the Chromecast invariably disconnects from your phone? As long as there are devices out
The Rubik’s Cube was a smash hit when it came out in 1974, and continues to maintain a following to this day. It can be difficult to solve, but many take up the challenge. The Arduino Rubik’s Solver is a robot that uses electronics and maths to get the job done. The system consists of computer-based
