It’s a Stargate PCB for your desktop — engage those chevrons and establish a wormhole!
Robotics are at the leading edge of Industry 4.0, AI and the Edge revolution. Let’s look at how we can create an FPGA-controlled robot arm.
A guide for the Hologram.io Arduino MKR 1400 GSM workshop for IoTDevFest PHX 2019.
A self-contained, smart tester that can determine the pull voltage (turn on) and drop out voltage (turn off) of a coil such as a relay.
Billy Bass and Alexa combine in this project to form a full bodied virtual assistant.
So the big aim here is obviously to predict the rain in the future. We’ll build a system that does just that from scratch!
A basic model train layout containing a passing siding with a train running around and stopping in an automated sequence.
In the future, crops will be watered NOT because it is time, but because smart pumps SEE that they are thirsty!
For all of the advanced software and multitude of sensors why is it that this expensive little robot still gets stuck under beds?
Intelligently reduce the moisture in your basement/crawlspace to help control mildew growth and lower your heating/cooling bill.
A device with the ability to receive and interpret dictation or to understand and carry out spoken commands to automate your appliances.
There have been previous ESP32-based camera projects. But what about something that supports standard RTSP video streaming?
An ATtiny85-based badge-size PCB that can display letters and numbers.
Open hardware air quality USB dongle (BME680) with configurable output format (JSON, CSV or human readable) over USB-CDC.
Elderly and ill people always need special care. What do you think about making a device that calls for help anywhere in world?
A fully autonomous robot lawn mower.
Build a mobile robot capable of moving and collecting data in rough terrain.
A soft switch with integrated energy monitoring enabling spark free switching for electric vehicles and drones.
Solid state precharge CoolMOS solution for automotive HV battery.
A simple project template showing how to establish a connection between two ESP32 based devices. Works both in LAN and through the Internet.
A fun build for kids! An indicator that shows them what to wear based on the weather of the day.
Sound sensor construction for the Lane of Things project at Wrigley Field.
Magic conversation heart (like Sally Brown’s from Peanuts) contains entire sonnet — just flip it over and over.
When a Nerf gun doesn’t have a scope, add a movable one with an Arduino and a servo!
A very basic tutorial on how to interface a microcontroller to an MQTT broker and interact with data on Node-RED.
Build a “smart container app” to monitor food shipments with NB-IoT, Node and Pusher.
A 2D physics engine with a lot of features made from scratch and running on an STM32F429.
This is a simple example demonstrating how to read GPIO from Microsoft Azure Sphere.
