NXP LAUNCHES THE GIGAHERTZ MICROCONTROLLER ERA

Electronics News Updates / Muhammad Bilal

NXP Semiconductors has announced the industry’s first crossover MCU, i.MX RT1170 28nm fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) microcontroller unit (MCU), which is a power-efficient design with real-time functionality, and MCU usability at an affordable price. It clocks its primary Arm Cortex-M7 processing core at up to 1GHz while packing a secondary Cortex-M4 core running at 400MHz. Geoff Lees, senior vice president […]

A 3D PRINTED 35MM MOVIE CAMERA

Arduino News / Muhammad Bilal

Making a camera can be as easy as taking a cardboard box with a bit of film and a pin hole, but making a more accomplished camera requires some more work. A movie camera has all the engineering challenges as a regular camera with the added complication of a continuous film transport mechanism and shutter.

MAKING WINDSHIELD WIPERS ROCK TO THE BEAT

Arduino News / Muhammad Bilal

When you’re driving around, you might occasionally notice your indicators or windscreen wipers sync up fortuitously with the music. [Cranktown City] wanted to ensure his wipers would always match the beat, however, and set about making it so. After disassembling the wiper motor, The original controller PCB is ripped up, used solely for its home position contacts that

FREE ELEKTOR ARTICLE: TMC2160 MOTOR DRIVER BOARD

Electronics News Updates / Muhammad Bilal

Stepper motors are popular in computer and microcontroller-based position control applications like robotics, industrial automation, CNC machines, 3D printers and video camera control. Due to their uncomplicated internal construction and their limited number of connection wires, stepper motors look deceptively simple. On the internet, there are even lots of tutorials on how to control these

FUMIK: AN ARDUINO WALL DRAWING ROBOT JELLYFISH

Arduino News / Muhammad Bilal

If you’ve ever wanted to build a large format plotter but didn’t have the floor space, maybe put it up against the wall and make it cute. That’s the idea behind Fumik, the wall-drawing robot. As you might expect, the little device is just a motion base with a pen. We hope there’s paper against the

UNIQUE CLOCK IS ALL HANDS, NO DIAL, AND DOES THE WORM

Arduino News / Muhammad Bilal

Back in the old days, we didn’t have fancy digital clocks. No, we had good analog clocks with a big hand and a little hand, and if you wanted to know the time you had to look at the clock and figure out which number each hand was pointing at, or kind of pointing at.

BRINGING THE POWER OF EDM TO THE HOME SHOP

Arduino News / Muhammad Bilal

When you see something made from metal that seems like it would be impossible to manufacture, chances are good it was made with some variety of electrical discharge machining. EDM is the method of choice for hard-to-machine metals, high aspect ratio hole drilling, and precise surface finishes that let mating parts slip together with almost
