You’ve probably noticed that your car feels different when driving on gravel, compared to what you’re used to on asphalt — even normal road asphalt can feel different than the concrete of a bridge. A lot of the feeling you detect is the result of the vibrations caused by that particular surface and the sounds […] The post This robot can identify terrain based on the vibrations its causes appeared first on Arduino Blog .

Founder George Hammel describes his Star Stream engineering team as “a pretty wild group.” A few of them aren’t certified engineers in the traditional sense, but all of them grew up solving problems in motorsports – an environment that rewards fast thinking, creative solutions, and zero tolerance for downtime. That background shows in what they’ve […] The post Star Stream is bringing F1-level telemetry to every race team – and every fleet – with Arduino UNO Q appeared first on Arduino Blog .

EMI (electromagnetic interference) can be a real nuisance in sensitive circuits. That might be from one device affecting another, but it can also happen when a circuit on a PCB interferes with another circuit on the same PCB (or another PCB in the same device). Engineering to prevent that entirely is really difficult and it […] The post An old 3D printer becomes a new EMI imager appeared first on Arduino Blog .

Edge AI is evolving quickly. It was the end of 2022 when the world saw the first Cloud AI tool available to everyone, accessible through a simple and intuitive chat. In less than four years, models have been refined, distilled, optimized, quantized – at record-breaking speed – to meet the needs of the first generation of […] The post Beyond Edge AI: bringing local intelligence to Arduino UNO Q appeared first on Arduino Blog .

Gardening is a prime application for smart automation, because plant care requires a lot of monitoring, but is relatively simple to execute. Large-scale agricultural operations are already highly automated, so why not do the same thing with your house plants? Giovanni Mannara (AKA Ingeimaks) did so in style by building this smart planter system that […] The post This stunning smart planter tracks plant health and handles daily care appeared first on Arduino Blog .

There was a time when computers were exciting and fun. Now most of them feel like commodity appliances — no more interesting than a washing machine or a toaster. Joe longed for the good ol’ days of 8-bit personal computers, so he used a trio of Arduino development boards to design his own “fantasy computer.” […] The post The Pinecone DAISY-1 is a fantasy 8-bit computer that exists in reality appeared first on Arduino Blog .

Factory lighting can be brutal. A label looks perfect from one angle and unreadable from another. A reflective pouch catches glare. A conveyor casts shadows. A package edge disappears under mixed LED lighting. Traditional industrial vision systems solve these very real problems, and that’s why they became expensive. However, many inspection tasks don’t require a […] The post Industrial-grade vision inspection, made accessible by the Arduino® UNO™ Q board appeared first on Arduino Blog .

Carlo Prisco and Fabio Marchese from PriscoZen had a clear goal from the start: not a technical demo, but a real, working platform that could bring machine control, software logic, and visual quality inspection together in a single compact system. Something they could demonstrate live, evolve over time, and show that industrial automation doesn’t have […] The post ZenCell: replacing two boards with one, to build a better quality inspection solution appeared first on Arduino Blog .

Makers and educators, we want to hear from you! Expert or novice, your perspective as an Arduino user matters – and right now, sharing it could win you something pretty special. We’ve put together a short user survey to better understand how the community uses what we have to offer, what’s working well, and where […] The post Tell us what you think – and enter for a chance to win one of 10 mystery boxes of Arduino gear! appeared first on Arduino Blog .

Pen plotters used to be very common in the engineering world, as they were economical for “printing” large technical drawings. They’re still around, but digital-only workflows and alternative printing methods have reduced their presence. But Elliot Madsen is an engineering student fascinated by his discipline’s history, so he constructed his own pen plotter using an […] The post Old 3D printer becomes new Arduino UNO Q-controlled pen plotter appeared first on Arduino Blog .
