Quantum computers aren’t quite ready for the home lab, but since there are ways to connect to some over the Internet, you can experiment with them more easily than you might think. [Norbert] decided to interface a giant quantum computer to an ordinary Arduino. Why? Well, that isn’t necessarily clear, but then again, why not? He […]

The MAXREFDES1048 synchronous step-down dc-dc converter reference design from Maxim Integrated Products is based on the MAX17504, a high-efficiency, high-voltage, synchronously rectified step-down converter with dual integrated MOSFETs can operate over a 4.5V to 60V input. The MAXREFDES1048 reference design operates over an input voltage range of 18- to 36-Vdc and delivers an output of 3A. The MAX17504 can deliver up to

This device was created for a final project for a class by a group of students at Indiana University. As sport fans, we thought it would be really useful to create a tool that would measure distance between two points. This could be used for many different sports, but we focused on golf. A handheld

The Arduino is a powerful platform for interfacing with the real world, but it isn’t without limits. One of those hard limits, even for the Arduino MEGA, is a finite number of pins that the microcontroller can use to interface with the real world. If you’re looking to extend the platform’s reach in one of

FriendlyELEC has recently launched a new family of boards called the “ZeroPi”. While they go by a name similar to that of the Arduino Zero Compatible development kit for robotic motion structure systems, the FriendlyElec ZeroPi boards are tons different as they feature an Allwinner H3 processor, a Gigabit Ethernet and are very similar to the fairly popular NanoPi NEO boards but they do
JarroseLaPlante is an installation created by Félicien Goguey and Thomas Meghe. This plant has a twitter account, you can water it by direct tweets. Since a single tweet can’t save her, she needs twitter friends to grow up! A Processing application listens to new tweets via Twitter APIs. A servo motor is bringing water to

Another Arduino GPS Project – Mini GPS Device Garlow is a mini GPS Watch that is based on the Arduino Nano board. It’s not really that “mini” compared to other commercial GPS watch like the Garmin, but I really made a great effort to bring the size down. In fact it looks more like a

Aaeon has announced the release of the Boxer-8110AI embedded computer. The Compact board which is similar to Aaeon’s Boxer-8120A which was released in May is based on the Nvidia Jetson Tx2 Module and is capable of running Linux distros like Ubuntu. While it offers a more compact size (110 x 65 x 40mm), just like the Boxer-8120A, the Boxer-8110AI it comes with 8GB of
BOXER-8110AI IS A COMPACT, RUGGED INDUSTRIAL AI COMPUTER THAT RUNS LINUX ON TX2 Continue Reading
Variations II of Variations II is a kinetic sculpture inspired by John Cage’s Variations series. Cage’s Variations II is a graphical composition that generates musical events using measurements of distance between dots and lines on a piece of paper. The instructions for the piece determine the behavior of rotating panels and images synchronized to be

Tasty Tweets is a data visualization experiment that allows users to explore twitter trends through taste with a press of a button. The installation has been developed by Kostantinos Frantzis, Ruben van der Vleuten and Kat Zorina during the Data Visualization course 2012 at Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design,Using the Twitter APIs, the project collects tweets containing mentions of
