Raspberry Pi is a series of wildly-customizable single-board computers that you can program to do almost anything. From building retro video games to creating your own robots, the world is your oyster, provided you know what the hell you are doing. Luckily, the Ultimate Raspberry Pi e-book bundle can teach you how to build and complete a number of Raspberry Pi projects like an engineering pro. Read more…

Twilio is hosting its Signal developer conference in San Francisco this week. Yesterday was all about bots and taking payments over the phone; today is all about IoT. The company is launching two new (but related) products today that will make it easier for IoT developers to connect their devices. The first is the Global […]

In March 2017, 18-year old developer Albert Gajšak launched the MAKERbuino, an educational Kickstarter project that let anyone build an 8-bit, Arduino-based gaming console.
The project was a big success, overshooting its funding goal by 10 times. And now, Gajšak has used everything he learned from that experience to launch a more ambitious project: the MAKERphone.
The MAKERphone is again, an Arduino-based, DIY mobile phone which comes disassembled, as a kit. By building the phone yourself, you’ll learn a bit about programming in environments such as Python and Scratch as well as basics of electronics. Read more…

I, for one, welcome our robotic ukulele overlords
It is unclear where the UkuRobot came from and where it will go once it is done with humanity but I fear that it is up to no good. Look at this robot: small, compact, infinitely complex. Its fretting system stares at us, gimlet -eyed, while the plucking system continues its dark work on the […]

When we last met UDOO the team was building a powerful Raspberry Pi-based DIY board with a bunch of impressive features including more ports and a better processor. Now the team behind the first units has released the UDOO BOLT, a DIY board that can run “AAA games” thanks to a built-in AMD Ryzen Embedded […]

Robot maker Patrick Stefanski has created a 3D-printed – and animated – model of L3-37, the droid in the recent Solo movie. L3-37 is one of the funnest – and woks – droids in recent memory and this recreation is fun and ingenious. Stefanski used Alexa voice controls to let the robot head respond to […]

Arduino Day isn’t just the birthday of a versatile, open-source platform adored by developers and engineers everywhere. It’s a celebration of creativity and technology, of makers and tinkerers, of STEM students and future visionaries. Most of all, it’s a reminder that we all have the ability to build impressive projects without Tony Stark levels of genius or wealth.
So on May 12th, why not take the time to get to know Arduino? To get you started, we’ve rounded up five of the best Arduino online courses and kits that’ll give Iron Man a run for his money. Read more…

We’re pretty big fans of Arduino, the DIY platform that lets you create and control your very own robots, as evidenced by this story about a $50 online class you can take and this one about an e-book collection dedicated to the hobby.
Well here we are again, with another great deal for learning Arduino online. The 2018 Arduino Enthusiast E-Book Bundle contains ten e-books that will teach you how to make a wide variety of robotic and hardware projects to impress all your friends and scare all your supervisors. The e-books, when purchased individually, would cost you a total of $315 — but this “Pay What You Want” deal will deliver all ten when you pick your price (and beat the average). Fun, right? Here’s what you’ll get: Read more…

SunFounder’s newest robotics learning kit, the SunFounder Nano DIY 4-DOF Robot Kit, lets you do build and program your own robots and will basically make all your childhood dreams come true. No biggie.
The kit, which goes by the name of Sloth, is compatible with both the included SunFounder Nano board or an Arduino board if you’ve already been tinkering around with one of those. Learn robotics programming as you make Sloth use its two legs to walk, kick, or even dance. It’s equipped with an HC-SR04 ultrasonic landing module, so Sloth can even detect and avoid obstacles. And yes, the kit comes with absolutely all the tools you need, so you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Read more…

If you haven’t gotten on the Arduino train, now is a good time. The open-source platform is used for building some amazing electronics projects, using just a programmable circuit board and simple software. It’s awesome for those just starting out with electronics because it doesn’t require any other hardware to upload code (unlike other programmable circuit boards) and it uses an easy-to-learn version of C++.
So what projects should you start with? The Arduino Enthusiast E-Book Bundle has you covered. The bundle comes with eight e-books and over 1,900 pages of instruction — plus plenty of projects to choose from, including wearables, smart electronic devices, and more. You can design, code, and build: Read more…
