Learning About 1D & 2D LiDAR
Join us as we explore and “detect” the possibilities of LiDAR with Elektor.
And The Winner Is...
In The Princess Bride, Westley explains to Buttercup that the name is the important thing for inspiring the necessary fear. Well, the creepy head doesn’t need any help in that department, but we decided to give it a name anyway.
Temperature Edge Sensing System with MicroMod
Porting the DIY cabin temperature monitoring system to MicroMod
Good Vibrations (And a Contest)
Last week we released a great little haptic driver from Dialog Semiconductors. This week I show you how fast and simple it is to build into a potentially job-saving project.
MicroMod-Controlled UV Lightbox for Exposing Blueprints and Burning Silkscreens
With a strip of solderable UV LED tape, a cheap poster frame, some scrap wood and a few Qwiic-enabled breakouts, I built this simple tabletop UV lightbox with a countdown exposure timer.
Ped Dead Reckoning II: This Time it's Inertial
A few weeks ago I shared some research on absolute positioning without GPS. Since then I’ve continued digging into the subject, found a few more sources, and tried a few more things.
OSHWA Summit, where art thou?
For this year's Open Source Hardware Association Summit, there was no venue. Instead, it was a completely virtual affair, allowing all of us to hear a host of amazing speakers from the comfort of our own homes.
Introducing the Epigone Drone
Our attempt to fly a drone with some of the same technology as NASA and none of the international scrutiny.
A PIR Primer and Project That's Anything but Passive
Recently we introduced four new PIR boards that use Panasonic’s new EKM-series PIR sensor, and I was excited to put one of them into a build.
Positional Monitoring without GNSS?
GNSS tracking has improved greatly over the past decade, but what about movement and position tracking without satellites? Is it even possible?
