A Children’s Contactless Music Box for the 21st Century
Various toys have been released for children over recent years that feature contactless technology to initiate a response. This might be character voices, music, or even actions (in the case of an activity centre). With this project, the focus is on audio playback and replicating the MusicCards project.
Connect an Arduino to Otto’s DIY Eurorack Prototype Boards
Otto's DIY makes learning and experimenting easier and more accessible. Building eurorack modules is a great way to learn electronics, get creative and have fun.
Raspberry Pi-Controlled Balance Bot
How many wheels do you expect to find on a robot? Three? Four? Sometimes, they have more, such as when they’re designed to travel over (alien) terrain.
Build Your Own Arduino Keyboard Synth!
Like the Raspberry Pi, the Arduino is one of those tools that has immense potential but can end up being put away in a box and forgotten about. Well, now it’s time to open that box again: this project is the perfect way to start getting to grips with Arduino once more.
Coding the BBC micro:bit with Edublocks
The BBC micro:bit is not short of programming languages. We can use blocks, Javascript, Micro Python and the legacy TouchDevelop, CodeKingdoms and Microsoft Blocks.
OpenAuto Turns Your Raspberry Pi into a Carputer
Want to install a Raspberry Pi into your car and use it to access satnav, in-car entertainment, and more? It’s possible! Since its release, the Raspberry Pi has been at the heart of many carputer projects, so what makes OpenAuto different?
Introducing Ardublockly for Arduino
The humble Arduino has powered many projects across the globe. Created in the early 2000s, the Arduino’s goal was to provide a cheap development platform for artists to experiment with electronics. For many years the Arduino set the bar for others to beat, and it wasn’t until the rise of the Raspberry Pi in 2012 that we saw competition that would offer an alternative experience for those new to code.
Steam Link Streaming Arcade (with a Raspberry Pi?)
Playing video games on custom-configured hardware is becoming increasingly popular, with the Raspberry Pi proving particularly adept as the heart of a retro gaming machine. Sticking the compact computer into your self-built gaming cabinet is probably the easiest step.
And Now.... A Guitar that Plays Itself!
It’s 61 years since the production of the RCA Mark II Sound Synthesizer, an instrument dubbed “the first programmable electronic synthesizer.” It’s essentially the first device to feature automated playback; it can play itself.
Hear The Cranberries' Hit “Zombie” on Arduino and Disk Drives!
“In tribute to Dolores O'Riordan, the Asimov Club presents ‘Zombie’ from The Cranberries played on floppy drives, hard drives and now with percussion (solenoid).”
What is the TS100 Soldering Iron?
Soldering is a deeply ritualised activity. Choosing the correct temperature, heating the iron, what solder do you use, lead or lead-free?
Join ElectroMaker at the Meety Pi Club for the Raspberry Jam Big Birthday Weekend!
This year marks the sixth anniversary of the launch of the Raspberry Pi. To celebrate, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is coordinating Raspberry Jam Big Birthday Weekends all around the world – and ElectroMaker is getting in on the act!
Raspberry Shake: A Pi-Powered Earthquake Detector
It’s always great to see a successful Kickstarter project, but let’s hope the Earth didn’t move too much for the Raspberry Shake team, whose earthquake detector is now available to purchase.
Build Your Own Dot Matrix Printer with an Arduino!
Back in the days of 8-bit and 16-bit computing, office (and home, if you could afford it) printing relied not on inkjet and laser printers, but on dot matrix.
What We Saw at the CRL Accelerator Demo Day
Ever wondered how tech startups find money? What puts a kid with a Raspberry Pi, a great idea, and a working prototype in touch with investors and partners?
An Arduino-Controlled BB8 with 3D Printed Parts!
Everyone loves Star Wars, and its robots – and their design – hold a particular fascination. When The Force Awakens hit cinemas in 2015, the realisation of astromech droid BB8 set tongues wagging and brains ticking over.
Track the ISS with a Raspberry Pi!
Since the first module was launched in 1998, the location of the International Space Station (ISS) continues to fascinate. Stepping outside on an evening to watch its movement across the night sky imbues a sense of pride in humankind’s achievements ... but it’s not always possible to see the structure.
