Read analogue gauges electronically with Nicla Vision

Electronic enthusiasts building projects that need to read analogue gauges, may be interested in a new article published to the official Arduino website this week providing more information about Nicla Vision. The system uses embedded machine learning and computer vision in order to autonomously read values and has been developed by the Zalmotek team. Nicla Vision features a powerful processor […]

Raspberry Pi Drives Tiny CNC Drawing Machine

Arduino News / By Tismail

Maker and developer Pheux9558, as they’re known on Reddit, has developed a custom CNC drawing machine from scratch using a Raspberry Pi. This tiny CNC machine(opens in new tab) is much smaller than your average plotter and uses some recycled hardware from old PCs, including parts from a CD drive and even components of an old floppy drive.

This snake robot is large enough to ride upon

Arduino News / By Tismail

If a robot is rideable, is it still a robot or is it a vehicle? We would argue that if it rolls on standard automobile-style wheels or even tank tracks, it is a vehicle. But James Bruton’s eight-wheeled robot snake bike is quite clearly something else. This “vehicle” started as a small functional model that

DeepDeck programmable, open source, ESP32 macropad

Arduino News / By Tismail

A new project will soon be launching via the Crowd Supply website in the form of the fully programmable, open source, ESP32 macropad, aptly named DeepDeck. The wireless programmable macropad features 16 mechanical buttons in a 4×4 grid together with two RGB rotary encoders, hot swappable keys and more. Connecting to a wide variety of different platforms using Bluetooth, DeepDeck supports Windows, MacOS,

YOUR MICROPYTHON BOARD CAN BE YOUR TINKERING PERIPHERAL

Arduino News / By Tismail

[Brian Pugh] has shared a cool new project that simultaneously runs on desktop Python and MicroPython – the Belay library. This library lets you control a MicroPython device seamlessly from your Python code – interacting with real-world things like analog/digital trinkets, servos, Neopixels and displays, without having to create your own firmware or APIs. You need a

LAPTOPPIN’ LIKE 1975

Arduino News / By Tismail

When we first saw the PZ1 laptop — a 6502 laptop-style computer with a small display and 512K of RAM — we couldn’t help but think of the old AIM 65 computer from Rockwell, although that only had 1K of memory. The other thing the AIM didn’t have was an ancillary microcontroller to help out that is way more

LAWNMOWER DOESN’T NEED A BASE STATION

Arduino News / By Tismail

A recent tour of an old WWII-era aircraft carrier reminded us how hard navigation was before the advent of GPS. It used to be the work of skilled people to sight the sun or the stars and use giant books to figure out a vessel’s position. Now you just ask your phone to listen to

CONVERTING AN 80S TYPEWRITER INTO A LINUX TERMINAL

Arduino News / By Tismail

Typewriters may be long past their heyday, but just because PCs, word processor software, and cheap printers have made them largely obsolete doesn’t mean the world is better off without them. Using a typewriter is a rich sensory experience, from the feel of the keys under your fingers that even the clickiest of PC keyboards

SAVING FUEL WITH ADVANCED SENSORS AND AN ARDUINO

Arduino News / By Tismail

When [Robot Cantina] isn’t busy tweaking the 420cc Big Block engine in their Honda Insight, they’re probably working on some other completely far out automotive atrocity. In the video below the break, you’ll see them take the concept of a ‘lean burn’ system from the Insight and graft hack it into their 1997 Saturn coupe. What’s a lean burn

HOMEMADE SAWSTOP ATTACHMENT IS JUST ABOUT AS SKETCHY AS IT SOUNDS

Arduino News / By Tismail

Most of us have probably by now seen the SawStop brand of self-stopping table saw, which detects when something meatier than wood has the bad taste to touch the spinning blade, more or less instantly stopping it and preventing sudden traumatic amputations. It’s an outstanding idea, and we’d love to see the technology built into
