This method of printing starts from a digital model file and uses bondable materials such as metal or plastic powders to produce the final product. The printed object can have any shape and geometric characteristics, making it a […]

The question of what if we can use our environment as a technology canvas motivates me to start experiment with this project. Luckily today we have an amazing device such as Raspberry Pi to use as a brain of the system. […]

On the other hand, you have to actually know the code to interpret this meaning. Alternatively, you could use the Ohmmeter 2.0. The Ohmmeter 2.0, based on Arduino Mega, has three modes. First, it enables you to enter resistor value with a keypad and […]

Using the ESP8266 WiFi module can connect to the internet. Once connected, using the YouTube channel ID and the API key we obtain the YouTube subscribers count and then we print that value to a 7 segments screen module. More info

We don’t think he’s been contracted by any nation’s military to design this vehicle, but as a product designer we imagine he does this sort of thing to keep himself sharp. In any event, it’s been fun to […]
