“The design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power grid, researchers say. Engineers at MIT and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have designed a heat engine with no moving parts. Their new demonstrations show that it converts heat to …
“A “Tree of Light” with 9 plexiglass discs each adorned with LEDs arranged in a flower shape. What’s it for? This 4-foot tall structure is a prototype for a larger LED structure we’re building this year that we …
“Cheap and easy to build using VirtualPanel AMG8833 Thermal Camera Based on the AMG8833 Grid-EYE sensor by Panasonic I built a simple thermal camera by hooking up the sensor module to an Arduino Uno (4 wires). Using VirtualPanel as …
“Battery powered, stand-off acoustic water leak detection Story The AquaPing is an ultra-low power smart sensor that provides stand-off water leak detection — even for leaks behind walls. No contact with plumbing is needed. All signal processing and analysis occurs at …
“”A pinball machine that plays itself, doesn’t that take all the fun out of it?” I hear you ask. Maybe if you’re not into autonomous robots it might. Me, however, I’m very much all about building robots …
“Small USB to Serial programmer module, with Type C port and having compatibility with Arduino micro-controller. There are lot of programmer boards that are compatible with Arduino. But the cheapest and smaller one I found on internet is based on …
“A simulation of a real life car parking using Arduino, Ultrasonic sensors, LCD Display and RGB LEDs. This project is based on some car parkings, which is, an indication if the local is free or occupied, so for the simulation …
“It uses a 3D printed arm from free resources with my code to recognise the human moves and control the arm I wanted to build a chess robot that could play and beat me. I had previously made one using …
“This is my second Rubik’s cube solver robot; This time I wanted to make it very small, simple, fully 3D printed, and inexpensive….. to attract more people into robotics, especially students. The overal project considers the robot, to be …
