CTRL the robot is a desktop-sized robot arm that can do a lot! It enables your computer to perform manipulation of real objects via software and gives you access to technology that has been locked away in large corporations factories. Check this video to see the amazing features of...

circuitbasics.com has a tutorial on how to access Raspberry Pi with a remote desktop connection. In the previous post, we learned how to set up a WiFi dongle and access the Raspbian command prompt via an SSH client called PuTTY. PuTTY is a great application for accessing the...

In this Arduino project video educ8s.tv is going to build an Arduino Game, a Tic Tac Toe game with a touchscreen. In this video we are going to build an Arduino Tic Tac Toe game. As you can see, we are using a touch screen and we are playing against the computer. A simple game like...

Using a mini spy camera module, Ruiz Brothers had built a tiny portable camera that is used to take time-lapse videos and for all sorts of photo based projects. This project consists of these parts with an estimated cost of $39: Mini Spy Camera Module ($12.50) Adafruit...

Ken Shirriff has written an article on reverse engineering the ALU of the 8008 microprocessor: A computer’s arithmetic-logic unit (ALU) is the heart of the processor, performing arithmetic and logic operations on data. If you’ve studied digital logic, you’ve probably learned...

Iolinker is a cheap 64 FPGA board with a MachXO FPGA that functions as a dynamically configurable IO matrix. Its main functionality, besides IO extension, is to dynamically set up a matrix of GPIO connections, that allow direct pass-through of high-frequency signals. Circuits can thereby...

runtimeprojects.com has a quick review of the Digispark board. It's a really interesting mini board that can be used in small projects using Arduino IDE. In today’s blog post we’ll analyze one of the smallest and most practical boards out there. The Digispark board. It’s size,...

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is the most commonly used internet time protocol for synchronizing locally running clocks to a more accurate reference clock server. In United States, the official time is provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST...
