Kinetic projectiles are a seldom-used weapon of war, consisting of heavy metal slugs dropped from a great height by aircraft. On the way down to the ground, they pick up enough speed to kill enemy troops and even penetrate light armor. [i did a thing] tried to replicate this simple technology using a consumer drone. The […]

A long, long time ago, when it was still possible to go to school, we came up with an interesting idea to make a device that works in a fairly simple way – after throwing in the right amount of money, we will issue a specific product. I can’t reveal what this device will appear

FM radio transmitters and receivers are one of the projects that fascinated a lot of people and drove them to become makers. The lure of being able to deploy your own radio station, or build your own surveillance(-like) devices was what encouraged most of us to build our first fm transmitter or receiver. Nowadays, microcontrollers

The holidays always remind us of our favorite toys from when we were kids. Johnny Astro, an Erector set, and — of course — a Spirograph. [CraftDiaries] has an Arduino machine that isn’t quite a Spirograph, but it sure reminds us of one. The Arduino drives two stepper motors that connect to a pen that can

Well, we’ve seen a few experiments with the Gameboy camera over the years, but this one is pretty wild. YouTuber, car nut and 3D printing fanatic Conorsev has developed and printed an adapter that lets him mount Canon EF mount lenses to his Nintendo Gameboy Camera and it produces images far greater than the Gameboy ever deserved. While it might be a
Variscite announced the launch of the VAR-SOM-6UL System on Module. The VAR-SOM-6UL powered by NXP’s i.MX 6UltraLite / 6ULL / 6ULZ ARM Cortex-A7 processor with up to 900MHz CPU Clock. The new SoM is based on Variscite’s popular DART-6UL platform while integrating additional LVDS bridge option, all packed in SO-DIMM200 form factor to fit the
Hello, in this project I want to show you how to build a PWM generator with a Attiny processor. It is very easy to build and a nice project for starters as also for professionals. You will need some electronic knowledge and some knowledge about Arduino. It wont be to hard, because i already wrote

Following the great demand for a high-resolution camera for i.MX8 processors, e-con Systems has launched a 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 13MP Autofocus camera integrated with Variscite’s i.MX 8 System-on-Module (SoM) platforms. The initial release is compatible with Variscite’s DART-MX8M SoM based on NXP’s iMX8M processor. However, the company has already announced its intentions to expand the
Multiplexing is a very old technology in which control signals are intermixed for the sake of being able to control more devices than there are control signals. For [mihai.cuciuc], the problems started when he multiplexed some very efficient LEDs. The problem? In two banks of six LEDs each, both LEDs connected to a single Arduino pin would light,

UltraMiner FPGA is an Affordable 16 nm Xilinx FPGA dev board for crypto mining and other high performance applications. Mining cryptocurrency can be fun and rewarding, especially if you’re able to set up a “mining rig” at home. For this to be practical, however, you will need a rig that is: Affordable so you can buy
