Self-driving cars? How about an autonomous bed instead? Randy Sarafan over at the Instructables Design Studio has created a robotic social bed that seeks out people and makes new friends along the way. You can think of it as an autonomous vehicle, just in the form of a queen-sized bed. Bedfellow is more than a futuristic piece of furniture, […]
These embedded nail extensions can help someone with behavior modification and programmed reminders. “Getting your nails done” once was a ritual that determined a person’s social status, which through the years has evolved into a form of expression and aesthetic enhancement. Today, a vast majority of women go to the salon every few weeks or so to change their nail design. And […]
Line Wobbler is an Arduino-powered, one-dimensional dungeon crawler game with a doorstop spring as its controller and an LED strip as its display. While we’ve seen plenty of unique video game interfaces over the years, a door-stop may certainly be among the most bizarre. Okay, so it’s not that odd as it does resemble a joystick after […]
This Wi-Fi shield is based on the ATWINC1500 module, and wirelessly connects your Arduino to the Internet. A year after breaking the news at Maker Faire New York, the Arduino Wi-Fi Shield 101 is now available for purchase on the Arduino Store. The low-cost ($49.90) shield is an easy-to-use extension that can be seamlessly attached to any Arduino or Genuino board enabling high-performance […]
ZeroPi is an ARM Cortex-M0+-based development board for robotic motion structure systems, 3D printers, CNC machines and more. ZeroPi is an Arduino and Raspberry Pi-compatible development kit for robotic motion structure systems and 3D printers. Based on the mighty Atmel | SMART SAM D21, the next-generation board is capable of controlling 11 micro servos and either eight DC motors or four stepper motors […]
Maker creates a fully hackable, Arduino-compatible smartwatch based on the Atmel | SMART SAM D21. Moritz Wenzel has emerged once again, this time with the latest iteration of his Arduino-compatible, software and hardware expandable DIY smartwatch. An upgrade of his earlier device, Tardis, the OwnWatch is completely hackable and enables Makers to connect their Arduino projects with both the wearable itself along with its paired smartphone […]
Arduino + Tamagotchi = Petduino Who could ever forget everyone’s beloved virtual pet of the ‘90s, the Tamagotchi? Inspired by his own childhood experience with the toy, Maker Matt Brailsford decided to put a new spin on the old concept by developing a digital companion that you could actually build and configure yourself. At the heart of the aptly named Petduino lies an Arduino Nano […]
Industruino Proto is a robust DIN rail mountable, Leonardo-compatible industrial controller with an LCD display. Now the latest member of the Arduino AtHeart program, the Industruino Proto is an Leonardo-compatible board housed inside a DIN rail mountable case. The unit itself is comprised of two parts: a self-contained, AVR powered main controller and a baseboard. Built around the versatile ATmega32U4, the Industruino Proto features a prototyping […]
Maker develops an anti-theft alarm shield compatible with a range of sensors, RFID, GSM and a web server. No stranger to the Hackaday Prize, a Maker by the name of “IngGaro” has developed an Arduino-based anti-theft shield that offers users many of the same functions as a commercial home automation system for a fraction of the cost. Simply put, […]
::vtol:: has done it again! This time he has turned cryptocurrencies into tunes with a giant Arduino-powered string instrument. Although cryptocurrencies may not be printed on paper or metalicized into coins, it doesn’t mean that Bitcoin and Litecoin can’t still be brought to life. Just ask Dmitry Morozov, also known as ::vtol::, who has transformed those digital bits into something […]
