“This simple project, based on an ATtiny85, gives you a maze that you have to solve by navigating it with four push buttons. The available paths in each direction are shown by four LEDs: a lit LED means that your …
“Physicists at LMU Munich show that the shape of components is a major determinant of how quickly and efficiently complex structures self-assemble. Complex systems in nature, like their synthetic counterparts in technology, comprise a large number of small components that …
“A system designed at MIT could allow sensors to operate in remote settings, without batteries. MIT researchers have developed a battery-free, self-powered sensor that can harvest energy from its environment. Because it requires no battery that must be recharged or …
“Annealing processors are designed specifically for addressing combinatorial optimization problems, where the task is to find the best solution from a finite set of possibilities. This holds implications for practical applications in logistics, resource allocation, and the discovery of drugs …
“In most cases, when we talk about a PDU we generally mean a box that can power multiple devices at the same time from a single power source. A sort of “multi-socket” with the only advantage of concentrating the cables …
“An easy way to set a DS3231 RTC module connected to a device with BLE (esp32 perhaps) using an app on an Android phone. Story It can be difficult to set the time and date on a DS3231 RTC there …
News Shrinking Technology, Expanding Horizons: Compact Chips Advance Precision Timing for Communications, Navigation and Other Applications
“The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its collaborators have delivered a small but mighty advancement in timing technology: compact chips that seamlessly convert light into microwaves. This chip could improve GPS, the quality of phone and internet …
“A wearable Sign Language Translator powered by the VIAM and Raspberry Pi. Story In a world where communication barriers persist for individuals unable to speak, sign language stands as a vital means of expression. However, the necessity of a third-party …
“I grew up playing Mario Kart Wii and fell in love with racing games when I was a kid. When I graduated to playing the arcade version I wanted a steering wheel to use at home that included all the …
“I created a DIY controller box using single-axis joystick modules and Arduino Nano to control an RGB LED, servo motor, and stepper motor! In this project, I demonstrate three different use cases for single-axis joysticks with an Arduino Nano microcontroller …
