As fun as claw games are, the jaws are always disappointingly weak, and you usually end up with bupkis. What if the jaws were completely within your control? That’s the idea behind [Upside Down Labs]’ muscle-controlled servo claw game. While electromyography (EMG) is great for identifying neuro-muscular abnormalities and allows for amazing prosthetic limbs to work, […]
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

Introduction Arduino serves as a development platform for creating embedded applications, incorporating a variety of sensors and actuators. It relies on open-source hardware, offering a range of Arduino models for your development needs. This book is tailored for developers, particularly those proficient in .NET, who aim to craft Arduino programs for both general and specialized
Eta Compute has launched an integrated, ultra-low-power AI Sensor Board, the ECM3532 AI Sensor Board, which has been designed for machine learning at the edge. The board was developed to cut the initial phase of smart sensor development through its TENSAI SoC. The low power ECM3532 AI Sensor Board contains almost every function needed for a

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,

TDK’s EFS series sensors eliminate the effects of disturbances in the electric field intervening between the photosensitive drum and the detection electrode TDK’s EFS series sensors are feedback surface voltage sensors that support the improved image quality of color copiers and next-generation color printers with the reliability of ±0.05 V or below. The voltage sensors are constructed
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
