Arduino and MIDI out

“In this article, we’ll show how we can use musical instruments using Arduino. We will use the MIDI protocol, a serial protocol that sends messages to musical instruments. The instruments by the sent message know what note they are …

DIY Electronic Locker Using Fingerprint Sensor

“Bored of keeping track of countless locks and their keys? How about using your own fingerprint to unlock each and every safe in your house, just like your Smartphone? Sounds cool, right? Let’s make an electronic Fingerprint locker that …

Duke-Northrop Grumman Partnership Seeks to Unflatten Metamaterial Antennas

“Researchers from Duke University are teaming up with colleagues at the University of Washington and industry experts at Northrop Grumman to develop metamaterial antennas tailored to the contours and angles of modern military aircraft. The collaboration is the result of …

How to Load MicroPython on a Microcontroller Board

“MicroPython is a subset of the Python 3 language that has been pared down to run efficiently on several microcontrollers. If you are familiar with Python or looking for a quick way to write code for a microcontroller (that isn …

MyLCD20x4 Clock with Value-Added Information

“Use a Particle Photon, a SHT31-D sensor, and a cheap LCD20x4 to start your own clock project. Recycling good Since 07/2017, my desk clock powered by a Particle Photon runs smoothly with a BME280 and I thought it …

Scientists reveal protection of optical fiber against biomolecules

“Unmodified optical fibers actively interact with components of biological media that literally deposit on their surface and thus do not allow them to function. Due to the effect of surface plasmon resonance and iodonium salts scientists grafted a very thin …

Simple & Smart Robotic Arm Using Arduino !!!

“In this instructable I will be making a simple robotic arm. That will be controlled using a master arm. The arm will remember moves and play in sequence. The concept isn’t new I got the Idea from “mini robotic …

Superradiance: Quantum Effect Detected in Tiny Diamonds

“The effect has been predicted theoretically decades ago - but it is very hard to provide experimental evidence for it: “Superradiance” is the phenomenon of one atom giving off energy in the form of light and causing a large number of …

Project  Z80-Board

Z80-Board

“A Z80 computer wirewrapped on perfboard. The wirewrapping technique uses standard IC sockets and PCB header pins, so the components and wiring are on the same side of the board; this has many benefits: It’s easier to see what …

A new ‘periodic table’ for nanomaterials

“The table groups molecules according to the nano-shapes they form The approach was developed by Daniel Packwood of Kyoto University’s Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) and Taro Hitosugi of the Tokyo Institute of Technology. It involves connecting the …
