Arduboy is an open source credit card size gaming console that has an active community not only on its software where alot of people develop their own game for the platform but also on its hardware where there are also alot of people came up with their own custom arduboy hardware. I personally cannot afford to buy the […]
Drums are an exciting instrument to learn to play, but often prohibitive if there are housemates or close neighbors involved. For that problem there are still electronic drums which can be played much more quietly, but then the problem becomes one of price. To solve at least part of that one, [Jeremy] turned to using an
This Instructable describes the construction of an electronic archery arrow spine tester. An arrow spine tester measures the stiffness of arrows. This helps an archer to construct arrows of uniform specifications which will shoot consistently. Traditional arrow spine testers measure arrow stiffness, or spine, by hanging weights on the arrows and measuring the resultant sag
The need to provide custom controls for complex software packages has been satisfied in many ways, the most usual of which is to have a configurable keypad. It’s a challenge [Meir Michanie] has taken up in a slightly different way, by creating a custom touch-screen macro pad. Unlike the buttons, this allows entirely custom layouts with

The Arduino family of open-source engineering design tools has long been associated with T-shirted hobbyists and garage-based startups. But as part of a realization that many of the platform’s supporters are now in the corporate world, the firm is expanding the availability of its tools for enterprise applications. Arduino’s humble beginnings at the Interaction Design Institute

Like so many of us, [pgsanchez] has been bitten by the flight simulator bug. It’s a malady that can only be treated, but never cured — and like so many hobbies, it has a nasty tendency to spawn more hobbies. A software developer by trade, [pgsanchez] is also adept with Arduino and electronics, and his

Every time one of us flashes an Arduino’s internal memory, a nagging thought in the backs of our minds reminds us that, although everything in life is impermanent, nonvolatile re-writable memory is even more temporary. With a fixed number of writes until any EEPROM module fails, are we wasting writes every time we upload code
EEZ teams recently announced their latest project; the EEZ Bench Box 3 (BB3). The Bench Box 3 which is a FOSS and open hardware programmable power supply concept was designed to serve as a successor to EEZ’s H24005, with the aim of providing a power supply with better modularity, higher capacity, and functionality while preserving openness, and rich software
There are several projects you can imagine where it would be useful to have a robot follow you. For example, we’ve always wanted luggage that would trail us at the airport and we’ve seen several coolers that will follow you. [Madmax95] apparently dream of having a medical cart following a patient, though, and that’s good
