Some of my favorite projects are making tools that I can use with other hobbies. I am not a master woodworker by any stretch, but I do enjoy it and have created several jigs with my 3D printer that have been useful. If you use a miter saw at all, you know the struggle of […]

Physical storage drives have not changed a lot over the years. They have improved in terms of storage capacity and technology but they are definitely still a bit bulky (compared with how small things are becoming) and relatively slow. To offer an improvement to what is currently in the market, GrowthLabs recently announced the launch of a

Every time one of us flashes an Arduino’s internal memory, a nagging thought in the backs of our minds reminds us that, although everything in life is impermanent, nonvolatile re-writable memory is even more temporary. With a fixed number of writes until any EEPROM module fails, are we wasting writes every time we upload code

Graduate researchers at the City College of New York have demonstrated a LED based on half-light half-matter quasiparticles in atomically thin materials. By Julien Happich @ eenewsled.com This is also the first successful test of an electrically driven light emitter using atomically thin semiconductors embedded in a light trapping structure (optical cavity), the researchers claim in

Ever wanted to measure soil moisture? Common “soil moisture meter module arduino raspberry compatible free shipping” PCBs might deceive you with their ascetic looks. Today, [Raphael (@rbaron_)] is here to teach us (Twitter, unrolled) what it takes to build a soil-embedded sensor that can actually survive contact with a plant. As the picture might hint, waterproofing is of
