Sarah the Simplest Arduino Robot

“Sarah is a small, quick, and simple Arduino robot for beginner makers. She uses a differential drive to maneuver. She also uses the Dual TB6612FNG, capable of drawing 1 amp, motor driver to control the motion of the two wheels …

Screen Time Countdown Timer

“So…like almost every other parent in the first world, I struggle to keep my son (8) off all the screens. Since I’m lazy and don’t like to argue, I created a countdown timer to monitor how much …

Strange Electrons Break the Crystal Symmetry of High-Temperature Superconductors

“Brookhaven Lab scientists discover spontaneous voltage perpendicular to applied current that may help unravel the mystery of high-temperature superconductors. The perfect performance of superconductors could revolutionize everything from grid-scale power infrastructure to consumer electronics, if only they could be coerced …

Ultracold molecules hold promise for quantum computing

“Researchers have taken an important step toward the long-sought goal of a quantum computer, which in theory should be capable of vastly faster computations than conventional computers, for certain kinds of problems. The new work shows that collections of ultracold …

Weather Portal

“There have recently been a series of web query projects that use the miraculously tiny and affordable ESP8266 micro controllers. Most have involved the output going to a tiny screen with small graphics. The local YMCA in Anchorage just completed …

Weekend Project - Ghost message!

“Many years ago, I thought it’d be a fun idea to have an RGB panel that would display game sprites on demand, connected to the internet, so people could display a sprite on demand. Just a sort of fun …

16-bit PWM resolution for Arduino

“Arduino has implicitly all PWM channels set to 8-bit resolution. This is not the maximum resolution. Timer1 can use up to 16-bit resolution. In this article, we’ll show you how to do it. “

3D Printing Circuit Boards and Components

“Using conductive filaments, circuit boards and other components such as switches, touch pads, sockets, resistors, potentiometers and capacitors can be 3D printed on a standard 3D printer.This instructable shows how to 3D print a microcontroller circuit that has a …

Analog Clock With LED Matrix and Arduino

“LED matrix with MAX7219 are very versatile and can be used in several projects with Arduino.In this case, I used it to simulate an analog clock without its hands with very interesting results.The hours and minutes are placed …

Build an 8-bit computer from scratch

“I built a programmable 8-bit computer from scratch on breadboards using only simple logic gates. I documented the whole project in a series of YouTube videos and on this web site. “
