While it is hard to tell with a photo, this robot looks more like a model of an old- fashioned clock than anything resembling a Nixie tube. It’s the kind of project that could have been created by anyone with a little bit of Arduino tinkering experience. In this case, the 3D printer used by […]

LaserPecker Pro-The Most Advanced Portable Engraver. Compact, Safe & Easy-to-use Laser Engraver LaserPecker recently announced a Pro version of their LaserPecker portable, affordable, compact laser engraver. Launched earlier this week on Kickstarter, the Laspecker Pro surpassed its modest funding goal of $10,000 in just 14 minutes and is currently approaching $200,000 with over three weeks left to

The Rigol DG952 50MHz Dual Channel Function Generator, although value-priced, provides highly-accurate 16-bit standard and arbitrary waveforms point by point from its huge 16Mpt memory. Most other AWGs are only 14-bit or less. With a sampling rate of 250MSa/sec, this versatile signal source produces precise, very low jitter waveforms (High frequency stability: ±1 ppm; low phase noise: -105 dBc/Hz). A 4.3” Touch

[Kevin] has long wanted to do something musical with a vintage rotary phone and an Arduino, and has finally done so and committed the first of several experiments to HTML in a five-part series. He found a nice old British Telecom number, but it had been converted to plug and socket wiring to work on the

Microcontroller addict [Debraj] decided to make his own programmable sine wave generator, and was able to put it together for under $40 USD. Other than low-cost, his list of requirements was as follows: Dual sine wave output, synchronized Frequency, Amplitude, and Phase control Low harmonics under 1 MHz Scriptable via Python The heart of the

Notice: no vintage Hewlett Packard test equipment was harmed in the making of this overly complicated Nixie clock. In fact, if anything, the HP 5245L electronic counter came out better off than it went into the project. We mention the fate of this instrument mainly because we’ve seen our fair share of cool-looking-old-thing-gutted-and-filled-with-Arduinos projects before, and

[JanHerman] knows that tuning musical instruments is all about precision and that precision is measured in a logarithmic unit called a cent. A cheap tuner unit might be accurate to 1.5 cents which sounds good until you look at one for ten times the price and find it is accurate to 0.1 cents. So you
