Drawing upon the design and behaviors of the BD-1 droid from Star Wars, Mateo Jarquin of the YouTube channel MateoTechLab has adapted it into a shoulder-mounted animatronic named “Pico” that can constantly interact with the wearer. All movement, sound generation, and lighting are handled by an Arduino Nano Every board embedded inside a custom 3D-printed […]| Arduino Blog
When you want to paint the walls in your bedroom that very specific shade of Misty Irish Green, all you have to do is head to your local hardware store and have them scan the corresponding card. The paint-mixing machine will then add the pigment to a white base and, a few minutes later, you […]| Arduino Blog
Your automatic garage door is almost certainly the most vulnerable access point in your house. Traditional systems are notorious for their susceptibility to replay attacks, but even more sophisticated modern garage door openers and those that lack remote functionality entirely are still prone to human error — you may simply forget to close the door.

Sphere in Las Vegas is inarguably one of the most notable architectural achievements of the 21st century so far. Gaudy? Maybe. Controversial? Definitely. Interesting? Absolutely — no one can debate that with a straight face. When 15-year-old Ben Kennedy’s bedroom nightlight broke, he decided to use the Sphere as the inspiration for this DIY LED nightlight.

As virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) slowly grow in adoption, their shortcomings become more obvious. Most glaringly, they only engage users’ sense of sight and hearing. Haptic tactile feedback is almost non-existent and so picking up a “sword” in VR feels like picking up a VR controller, because that’s what you’re actually doing. […]| Arduino Blog

A GPU (graphics processing unit) is a specialized computer component for, primarily, rendering graphics. That RTX 5090 that you took out a second mortgage to buy is one example. But GPUs are useful for far more than just playing the newest games at max settings; their parallel processing capabilities make them desirable for other tasks, […]| Arduino Blog
It isn’t a secret that many kids find math to be boring and it is easy for them to develop an attitude of “when am I ever going to use this?” But math is incredibly useful in the real world, from blue-collar machinists using trigonometry to quantum physicists unveiling the secrets of our universe through […]| Arduino Blog
One of the best features you’ll find on a fancy luxury car is seat position memory. Typically, there are at least two profiles that “save” the position of the seat. When switching drivers, the new seat occupant can simply push the button for their profile and the seat will automatically move to their saved position. […]| Arduino Blog
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are both currently experiencing a meteoric rise in popularity, with the combined market expected to reach $77 billion by 2025, from just $15.3 billion in 2020. For makers, AR and VR represent exciting opportunities to build new types of projects, tapping into entirely new possibilities and learning skills […]| Arduino Blog

Most ski lifts are pretty simple systems: they use big ol’ motors to pull cables with chairs or hangers attached. More advanced detachable designs let the chairs come off the cable temporarily while in the terminal, so skiers can hop on at a leisurely pace. But basic fixed-grip chairlifts don’t have that capability and skiers […]| Arduino Blog
