We absolutely love the impetus of this project, as it definitely sounds like something a Hackaday reader would go through. After finally deciding between a CNC router and a laser cutter, [Eirik Brandal] was planning to “Hello, World” the CNC with something quick and simple, like maybe a few acrylic plates with curves and some […]

If you are interested in learning more about training robots using machine learning techniques and technologies you might be interested in a new Arduino project to ascertain whether a basic robot could navigate using only LiDAR, as opposed to more resource-intensive computer vision techniques. LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method

Handheld printers are changing what we think we know about getting digital prints on an object/surface. They are allowing users to print whatever they want, from logos to pictures, on whatever surface they want, from clothes to books and merch, in a manner that we would have considered impossible a few years back. While they

When we think about machine learning, our minds often jump to datacenters full of sweating, overheating GPUs. However, lighter-weight hardware can also be used to these ends, as demonstrated by [Nikodem Bartnik] and his latest robot. The robot is charged with autonomously navigating a simple racetrack delineated by cardboard barriers. The robot is based on a

The STEVAL-VP22201B evaluation board implements a 5 V – 1.8 W isolated flyback converter developed for general purpose applications operating from 85 to 265 VAC. The reference design is built around the VIPer222XSTR offline high-voltage converter from the VIPerPlus family, with 730 V Power MOSFET and PWM current-mode control. The main characteristics of the evaluation board are its small size and minimal BOM,

In retrocomputing circles, it’s often the case that the weirder and rarer the machine, the more likely it is to attract attention. And machines don’t get much weirder than the DEC Rainbow 100-B, sporting as it does both Z80 and 8088 microprocessors and usable as either a VT100 terminal or as a PC with either

SnapEDA is excited to share that they have launched a new and improved 3D viewer for our parts. It allows engineers to preview 3D models available on SnapEDA before download. [via SnapEDA blog] They’ve added three key features, based on feedback from our community. First, they’ve added dimensions to the viewer so that engineers can verify

One of the things missing from the “classic” Arduino experience is debugging. That’s a shame, too, because the chips used have that capability. However, the latest IDE has the ability to work with external debuggers and if you want to get started with a classic ATMega Arduino, [deqing] shows you how to get started with
