Programming a robot does not have to be difficult!
Advances in robotics have made it possible for us to build a robot at home today, but would it be difficult to program it? Not necessarily!
What exactly is the Internet of Things?
An increasing proportion of electronic equipment is beginning to use the so-called Internet of Things for its operation. What exactly is this?
Snapmaker – 2021 recap
Snapmaker has grown from a startup to a thriving company and its devices are known around the world. What was year 2021 for him? Join us for a recap.
What types of variables do we have in Arduino?
Variables in programming are some of the most important elements that constitute the code of a program. This also applies to programming on the Arduino platform.
Building a server with Arduino
By equipping the Arduino with an Ethernet Shield, you can turn it into a simple web server, and by accessing this server with a browser running on any computer connected to the same network as the Arduino, you can perform a variety of tasks.
A programming adventure for children? – Arduino
Arduino is a very good choice to start your programming adventure – also for the youngest!
Brick robots – great fun and development all in one!
Learning – only by having fun! And an excellent tool to help in this approach are real robots built with bricks!
Arduino clones – are they worth anything?
There is no denying that Arduino boards have become a real hit all over the world. This is evidenced not only by the number of sold blue boards, but also by numerous clones of this platform. Are they worth attention as much as the original?
The latest humanoid robots – do we have anything to worry about?
Humanoid robots are designed so that they can imitate a real flesh-and-blood human being in their entire appearance, behaviour and range of activities – certainly such a prospect sounds both interesting and frightening at the same time!
3D object scanning
Besides the traditional design of objects for 3D printing, we can also use scanning of the finished 3D object, on the basis of which an STL file will be created containing a digital representation of the object.
How to measure voltage with Arduino
We can measure basic electrical quantities such as voltage and current using a multimeter, but we can also create a measuring circuit from scratch!
3D engraving – beauty created by technology
Engraving is one of the most widespread techniques for processing materials – both in two-dimensional and three-dimensional versions!
Arduino pinout description
Arduino is a platform that was created for programming. Nevertheless, it is also important to know its hardware layer.
MPPT charge controller on Arduino
Charging a battery consists in connecting it to a DC voltage source with the appropriate current capacity. It turns out that the charging process itself can be properly optimised for overall efficiency – just use Arduino!
Which smoke detector to choose?
A smoke detector is an essential part of the security system in homes, offices and public institutions. Which detector to choose for which application?
Building a NAS server – Raspberry Pi 4
The security of important files can be ensured with little cost and effort – just configure your Raspberry Pi properly as a… NAS server.
Which thermoconducting paste to choose?
Thermal conductive paste is an all too often underestimated component of a cooling system, on which the reliability of the device and its performance may depend.
