Dive into the fascinating world where hardware meets artificial intelligence by creating a ChatGPT client using the Arduino Giga R1 WiFi. This project is perfect for those who love to tinker with technology and are eager to explore new ways to interact with AI. By following this guide, you’ll learn how to combine the power of the […]
[Lex] over at Computing: The Details loves to make fun projects. Recently, they have created a hardware CPU monitor that displays how PCs are parallelizing compile tasks at a glance. The monitor is built from 14 analog meters, along with some WS2812 RGB LEDs. Each meter represents a core on [Lex]’s CPU, while the final two meters show memory

[mircemk] built a slick-looking LED tester with a couple handy functions built in. Not only can one select a target current to put through an LED, but by providing a target voltage, the system will automatically calculate the necessary series resistor. If for example the LED is destined for 14 V, this device will not only show
LED TESTER ALSO CALCULATES RESISTOR FOR TARGET VOLTAGE Continue Reading
Once upon a time, if you wanted to generate some waveforms, you needed to buy an expensive off-the-shelf function generator or whip up a big pile of analog electronics. Not so today, when you can grab a fast microcontroller off the shelf and have it squirt out whatever fancy waves you might desire. That’s just what

The Yamaha DX7 was released in 1983, with its FM synthesis engine completely revolutionizing the electronic music world at the time. It didn’t come cheap, and still doesn’t today, but we are blessed with emulators that can give us the same sound on a budget. In that vein, [Kevin] decided to whip up a Yamaha DX7
When we first saw [Maarten Tromp]’s article about a “momentary latching switch” for guitar effects pedals, we have to admit to being a bit confused. When it comes to push-button switches, “momentary” and “latching” seem to be at odds with each other, with different mechanisms inside the switch to turn one into the other. What gives?
TWO-CHANNEL GUITAR STOMP BOX MAKES MOMENTARY SWITCHES LATCHING Continue Reading
It started with someone asking [James Bruton] about using a Möbius strip as a tank tread. He wasn’t sure what the point would be, but he was willing to make one and see what happened. Turns out it works reasonably well! The main design challenge was creating a tread system that would allow for the required
The Internet of Things (IoT) landscape is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field, with the Arduino Cloud platform standing as a key player. Recently, this platform has undergone a significant upgrade, a testament to Arduino’s commitment to fostering community-driven innovation. This upgrade, largely influenced by user feedback, has transformed the platform into a more intuitive, powerful, and user-friendly tool, making IoT
Arduino Cloud for IoT and more enhanced further from user feedback Continue Reading
Stream decks are cool and all, but they are essentially expensive, albeit sorta cool-looking macro pads. So why not try to make your own? You don’t necessarily have to start from scratch. It all started when [dj_doughy] found an extremely clicky num pad in a recycle pile. It was so clicky, in fact, that even though
What’s the worst part about packaging up a whole lot of the same basic thing? It might just be applying the various warning stickers to the outside of the shipping box. Luckily, [Mr Innovative] has built an open-source automatic sticker dispenser that does the peeling for you, while advancing the roll one at a time quite satisfyingly.
