For example, the wind vane uses eight reed switches and an embedded magnet to communicate the current wind direction to the […]

There’s just one octave of keys, a volume/power control, and an octave rotary switch to […]

All thanks to micro-computing and Arduino Pro Mini, you can actually create your personal 3D printed robotic dancing teapot. Created by French computer scientist Paul-Louis Ageneau, this little kitchen accessory looks like a two-legged mini-robot. Ageneau has […]
