Real flowers do it, and even the Beatles did it. [Robo Hub] now has a plastic sunflower that tracks the sun using, of course, an Arduino. It may not qualify as a real robot, but it does mimic a real sunflower. The electronics aren’t earth-shattering, of course. An Arduino, a light sensor, and a servo motor are […]

Have you ever imagined commanding a device solely with hand motions? Envision your phone wirelessly sending emojis to friends representing your hand gestures in real-time. This vision is now a reality! Using ST’s innovative multi-zone Time-of-Flight sensors, camera-free gesture recognition is possible. AI algorithms running on the low-power STM32 microcontroller identify hand poses with minimal

The intention behind this guide is to furnish valuable insights into the typical sensors employed in the RAD SLDP. It’s worth noting that sensors produced by various manufacturers might have slight variations compared to the ones outlined in this guide, but comprehensive documentation for all these sensors can be easily accessed online. If you require

The Eowave Persephone was a beautiful thing—a monophonic ribbon synth capable of producing clean, smoothly varying tones. [Ben Glover] used to own a nice example that formerly belonged to Peter Christopherson, but lost it in the shifting sands of time. His solution was to build one of his own from scratch. Known as the Screech Owl,

Even though it seems the worst of COVID has passed, October generally kicks off cold and flu season, so why not continue to pass out Halloween treats in a socially-distanced fashion? That is, of course the idea behind [Gord Payne]’s Halloween Treat Trough of Terror. Lay a treat at the top of the trough and it

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

In addition to its roles in controlling motors, LCDs, and LEDs, the Arduino also possesses the capability to gauge temperature measurement. By connecting an analog temperature sensor to the Arduino, it can function as an electronic thermometer. This section will guide you through the process of establishing connections and testing the precision centigrade temperature sensor.
Temperature Measurement and Control Continue Reading
The old adage that you’ll make a fortune by developing a better mouse trap is not super realistic, as the engineers behind Sony’s Betamax video tape standard could tell you. However, you can still learn a lot building your own, as this project from [ROBO HUB] demonstrates. The trap is intended to catch mice in a
