About two years ago, I built a big 120 face LED geodesic dome that plays music with a MIDI output. However, it was a difficult build and the sensors weren’t completely reliable. I decided to build the Bucky Touch, a smaller version of my geodesic dome that is easier to construct and has upgraded capacitive touch sensors. […]

One growing trend across the embedded systems development world is the development of boards, Microcontrollers, and general development platforms, that aim to be more inclusive, with respect to supporting other programming languages asides the traditional C/C++ that are synonymous with embedded development. From boards like the Espruino which supports Javascripts out of the box, these boards reduce the embedded system barrier

Amazon’s Alexa is cool. USB fans are cool. Alexa enabled USB fan, even cooler. This fan turns on with a voice command to an Amazon Alexa device, “Alexa, turn [insert your name here]’s fan on”. The fan is also set to turn off automatically after 45minutes (adjustable through code). The weather has been hot lately
I was inspired by the Play Button awards YouTube sends out for subscriber milestones and whipped up a simple circuit using an ESP8266 wifi board and seven segment display to show off my realtime subscriber count. This is a great IoT beginner project, with just a little soldering and a code personalization required to make
Envox Experimental Zone (EEZ) is an open hardware and open source development website, that creates and shares various open source hardware and software projects using as much as possible open-source tools and technologies. One of their projects is the programmable bench power supply ‘EEZ H24005’. The goal is to make a reliable, modular, open and

Over the past few years, we have seen companies unveil their Alexa Connect Kit (ACK) for smart homes, like the STM32GO71. However, ESpressif has announced its forthcoming Alexa Connect Kit (ACK) module known as ESP32-PICO-V3-ZERO. The ESP32-PICO-V3-ZERO enables an easy way for customers to create Alexa-compatible devices. With Alexa Connect Kit (ACK) you can quickly and easily build products your
Have you recently been sceptical of using a contact-based access system in your office or a public place? This trait is a major concern in most places for a valid reason. An access surface in a public place is used by many individuals, which makes it a potential source for contracting the deadly Covid 19
Arduino and Silicon Labs have joined hands to both bring Matter-compatible SiLabs wireless microcontrollers to the Arduino IDE and then design an upcoming Arduino Nano based on SiLabs MGM240 Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller with Matter, Thread, Zigbee, and Bluetooth LE protocols. Available now: Arduino Core for Silicon Labs devices The first phase of the collaboration involves
Arduino and Silicon Labs collaborate to bring Matter to Arduino boards and IDE Continue Reading
How to work with Light Emitting Diode (LED) in Proteus In this post, we will be learning how to use the “Light Emitting Diode (LED)” component in Proteus simulation software. In case you have not got on through the basics of Proteus, here is the link – Proteus PCB Design and Simulation Software – Introduction. Note:- You
