HAM RADIO GETS BRAIN TRANSPLANT

Arduino News / By Tismail

Old radios didn’t have much in the way of smarts. But as digital synthesis became more common, radios often had as much digital electronics in them as RF circuits. The problem is that digital electronics get better and better every year, so what looked like high-tech one year is quaint the next. [IMSAI Guy] had

IMPRESSIVE OFF-GRID HYDROELECTRIC PLANT SHOWCASES THE HACKER SPIRIT

Arduino News / By Tismail

We all know the story arc that so many projects take: Build. Fail. Improve. Fail. Repair. Improve. Fail. Rebuild. Success… Tweak! [Kris Harbour] is no stranger to the process, as his impressive YouTube channel testifies. Among all of [Kris’] off-grid DIY adventures, his 500 W micro hydroelectric turbine has us really pumped up. The impressive feat of

BRING A MINITEL TERMINAL BACK TO LIFE WITH AN ESP32

Arduino News / By Tismail

Most of us who are old enough are likely to have had our first experience of an online service some time in the 1990s, either through the likes of Compuserve or via an ISP. For our French readers the online experience will have come much earlier, as a forward-thinking telecommunications environment led to every household

MECHANICAL MUSICAL SCULPTURE RECALLS THE FOUR MUSES

Arduino News / By Tismail

Music was created by humans, but often we find ourselves creating performances with machines. [Alana Balagot] and [Federico Tobon] did just that, constructing the stunning 4 Muses musical sculpture with their combined talents. 4 Muses is made up of four individual instruments, under the command of a single keyboard controller. The keyboard can be used to

A PDP 11 BY ANY OTHER NAME: HEATHKIT H11 TEARDOWN AND REPAIR

Arduino News / By Tismail

[Lee Adamson] is no stranger to classic computers. He recently picked up a Heathkit H11A which, as you might remember, is actually a PDP-11 from DEC. Well, technically, it is an LSI-11 but still. Like a proper LSI-11, the computer uses the DEC QBus. Unlike a lot of computers of its day, the H11 didn’t have a

ARDUINO PLAYS THE GLASSES

Arduino News / By Tismail

Have you ever been on a city street and seen a busker playing music on glasses? Each glass has a different amount of water and produces a different note when tapped. [Cyberlab] must have seen them and created an Arduino robot to play tunes on glasses. You can see the result in the video below. If
