Use a TI LaunchPad to Activate a Fan or Just About Anything!

“This LaunchPad-based Crop Duster Buster is sure to keep your pet’s farts away! Or at least you’ll learn something about automating devices to be controlled by clapping. Don’t you hate when you’re sitting with a loved …

Arduino RFID Keycard Access

“Keys are so last century, and now that you can easily replicate a physical key just by snagging a photo it might be time to upgrade our locks! This project outlines a framework for you to get started implementing your …

CNC machine

“The CNC machine is based on the working of the stepper motor and servo which are in interface with arduino and motor shield.”

Intel Collaborating with Preferred Networks in Japan on Deep Learning

“Intel is collaborating with Japan-based Preferred Networks Inc. (PFN) on the development of Chainer, PFN’s open source framework for deep learning, with the aim of accelerating deep learning performance on general purpose infrastructure powered by Intel. The advancement of …

Quantifying the performance of the TPU, our first machine learning chip

“We’ve been using compute-intensive machine learning in our products for the past 15 years. We use it so much that we even designed an entirely new class of custom machine learning accelerator, the Tensor Processing Unit. Just how fast …

Researchers Control Soft Robots Using Magnetic Fields

“A team of engineering researchers has made a fundamental advance in controlling so-called soft robots, using magnetic fields to remotely manipulate microparticle chains embedded in soft robotic devices. The researchers have already created several devices that make use of the …

The perfect pattern to trap light

“Superimposing two lattices of similar periods creates structures that researchers can design to control and localize light. Brighter LEDs and more efficient solar cells are two potential applications for ASTAR’s research into lattice structures that can slow or …

Streamlining Mass Production of Printable Electronics

” Memory devices — as a subset of electronic functions that includes logic, sensors and displays — have undergone an exponential increase in integration and performance known as Moore’s Law. In parallel, our daily lives increasingly involve an assortment of relatively low-performance …

10 or 12-bit DAC from the ATtiny85

“This article describes how to get up to two 10 or 12-bit digital-to-analogue outputs from an 8-bit Timer/Counter, such as in the ATtiny85. To test the routine I built a circuit which allows you to vary the brightness of …

A faster single-pixel camera

“Compressed sensing is an exciting new computational technique for extracting large amounts of information from a signal. In one high-profile demonstration, for instance, researchers at Rice University built a camera that could produce 2-D images using only a single light …
