How to achieve cost-effective predictive maintenance with the Arduino® UNO™ Q board

Reading Time: 6 minutesMost machines warn you before they fail. A motor begins to vibrate differently. A pump slowly drifts out of balance. A bearing develops a new mechanical signature. A cooling fan starts producing frequencies that were not present during normal operation. These changes can appear well before a complete breakdown. The challenge is detecting them early, […]

Arduino Core-zephyr 0.56.0: try it out now, and help us get closer to Stable

Reading Time: 3 minutesVersion 0.56.0 of the Arduino® Core on Zephyr is live – and it’s a sizable update to the earlier release. Think optimized performance, expanded hardware capabilities. We’re still smoothing some edges towards the official Stable release, but if you’ve been testing the beta, prepare for a meaningful upgrade. Multimedia expansion: Arduino® GIGA Display Shield & […]

Keep forgetting the fan and getting mold in the shower? This is the solution

Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen Manivannan moved to the UK from India, he found that the damp winters provide the perfect conditions for mold growth in the shower. The preventative solution is to run the ventilation fan when showering, but that is easy to forget. So, he built the AntiMould Shower Sentinel to ensure discipline. This device’s purpose is […]

A heads-up on the Arduino® UNO™ Q board pricing – straight from Marcello Majonchi

Reading Time: 3 minutesA message from Arduino CPO – Marcello Majonchi Dear Builders, Engineers, and Innovators, Arduino is built on one belief: powerful technology should be accessible to everyone who wants to make, learn, or innovate with it. Staying true to that principle in every decision we make sometimes means making tough calls about what we charge for […]

Make a Smart Home in Raspberry Pi Official Magazine issue 167

Reading Time: 3 minutesThe dream of smart, connected devices controlling your home automatically, is especialy appealing on a lazy day when we’re trying to get work done in a heatwave. Maybe this will be the year we finally integrate temperature sensors with fans and a drinks dispenser to keep us cool, or maybe not, but we do know […]

How to design and present clear computing lessons

Reading Time: 5 minutesLearning something new requires effort. Learners take in new information by listening and observing. When a lot of information is presented at once in a lesson, that can create too much cognitive load for learners — a barrier to understanding and engagement. To help you design and deliver great computing lessons, we’ve written two new […]

Brain hot from serious thinking? This helmet automatically cools your head

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe human brain is remarkably efficient, running on the caloric equivalent of about 20 watts of power. But that’s still about 20% of the total required for your entire body, which means your head can get pretty hot. Mike Warren does big thinking and to keep his brain from overheating, he built this helmet to […]

Running local LLMs on the Arduino® UNO™ Q board: a practical guide

Reading Time: 7 minutesWhen talking about large language models (LLMs), people usually imagine a general-purpose assistant: something that can answer questions about weather, politics, software, history, travel, cooking, electronics – and almost any other topic. The model is expected to know a little bit about everything, follow open-ended conversations, and respond to a very broad range of prompts. […]

Learning to code in an AI age

Reading Time: 3 minutes“Working with education partners across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay, we will help young people develop a foundational understanding of AI technologies, their social and ethical implications, and the role that AI can play in their lives,” says Anna Burton, Director of Global Partnership at the Raspberry Pi […]

Poor man’s Polaroid camera

Reading Time: < 1 minuteTake this build by Stasys Urbonas, for example. He calls it a poor man’s Polaroid, even though it cost more to build than it would to buy a Polaroid camera off the shelf: “I almost bought a regular Polaroid, but realised photos aren’t cheap, so the idea to use a thermal printer just popped into […]

Raspberrarium terrarium

Reading Time: < 1 minuteMommotti’s Raspberrarium takes this simple concept one step further. By adding a Raspberry Pi and just two WS2812 LEDs, the Raspberrarium can accurately simulate, according to the maker: “a real daylight cycle (sunrise, noon, sunset), real moon phases during the night, [and] a smooth 24-hour light progression with minute-accurate transitions.” What that means is that […]
