Exploring the edge of design and biology with Arduino: inside the “Parasites and Robotics” workshop

This summer in Berlin, a group of artists, designers, and curious minds gathered around a creative question: What can parasites teach us about robotics? Led by Salvador Marino, a transdisciplinary artist with a PhD in biology, the workshop “Parasites and Robotics” invited participants to explore the intersection of biology, sci-fi, and open-source hardware – all […]

An old PC case becomes a Halloween vending machine

Halloween is creeping up on us like some kind of impatient ghoul, which means that half the maker community is currently scrambling to throw together some spooky projects. Those projects become a lot more approachable when you start with something the already exists—anything, really. For example, Appalachian Forge Works began this Halloween vending machine project […]

Turtle bots, Gestalt principles, and emergent art

In the worlds of programming and robotics, turtles are entities — either virtual or physical robots— that follow commands to move around a 2D plane. Those are usually very simple commands, such as “move forward 10 units” or “rotate 90 degrees clockwise,” and they help people learn some programming fundamentals (like Logo in the ’80s!) […]

Repurpose gadgets as Arduino-ready modules

Most people have a general awareness of how economies of scale play into the cost of products; a bespoke, handcrafted vase is going to cost a lot more than a mass-produced vase sold in the millions. But the ramifications of that concept can be really counterintuitive when it comes to electronic goods. In some cases, […]

MIT’s Octopus is a delightful environmental sensor for urban deployment

There are a lot of very good reasons to monitor local environmental conditions, especially as they pertain to climate change research and various ecological protection initiatives. But doing so in urban locales is a challenge, as simply mounting a device can be difficult. That’s why a team from MIT’s Senseable City Lab built Octopus, which […]

An Arduino Opta micro PLC safely controls this massive solar panel lift

The dividing line between microcontroller development board and programmable logic controller (PLC) use cases has become increasingly blurred in recent years, as today’s Arduino hardware is very robust and reliable. But there are still situations in which peace of mind and regulatory standards support the use of a PLC, which is why we launched the […]

Meet the teens behind RedSnapper: a smart Arduino-powered prosthetic arm

An affordable, AI-assisted, wearable robotic arm? That’s not science fiction – it’s RedSnapper, an open-source prosthesis built by PAC Tech, a team of high school students from Istituto Maria Immacolata in Gorgonzola, Italy. Powered entirely by Arduino boards, their project won the national “Robot Arm Makers” title at the 2025 RomeCup – and we think […]

Your plants can now play your video games

The population of the world is currently in an uproar as everyone panics about AI stealing jobs. But nobody seems to be concerned about the possibility of plants stealing video games. Nobody, that is, except a team of researchers from KAIST and the Royal College of Art, who decided to just go ahead and make […]

Learn how to make a 2D capacitive touch sensor with ElectroBOOM

Mehdi Sadaghdar, better known as ElectroBOOM, created a name for himself with shocking content on YouTube full of explosive antics. But once you get past the meme-worthy shenanigans, he is a genuinely smart guy that provides useful and accessible lessons on many electrical engineering principles. If you like your learning with a dash of over-the-top […]

This novel 3D printer kinematic system uses a mouse sensor for closed-loop control

Robert Murray-Smith wants to experiment with a novel 3D printer kinematic system that drives a round bed through a friction interface — essentially a polar 3D printer, but without the backlash associated with gears. However, friction drives have a tendency to slip and so he will need closed-loop control of the system and that will […]
