You have an idea. Maybe it’s a smart home device that solves an everyday annoyance, a robot you’ve been sketching for months, or an experiment that becomes something bigger. Now comes your first major decision: what hardware will you use to bring it to life? With so many development boards available, choosing the right one […] The post What will you build next? Arduino Black Friday deals are here appeared first on Arduino Blog.
Not a lot of thought went into the “mouse droid” in the first Star Wars movie. It was just a bit of cute world-building, created by putting a box on an RC car. But it became a fan favorite and that in-universe model, the MSE-6, appears throughout subsequent movies, TV shows, and video games. All […] The post This mouse droid knows how to party appeared first on Arduino Blog.
For years, bringing real intelligence to industrial automation meant expensive infrastructure, proprietary systems, and steep learning curves. That’s changing – fast. Foundation models powerful enough to run at the edge are turning natural language into machine control, and the factory floor is starting to look a lot more like a conversation. AI as the new […] The post From voice command to robotic arm: how agentic AI on the edge is changing the factory floor appeared first on Arduino Blog.
Arduino® Project Hub has featured a lot of DIY handheld consoles on this blog over the years. Most of them are impressive, and most of them require at least some custom hardware – a purpose-designed PCB, a specialized connector, a part you can only get from one supplier. They’re great projects, but they can feel […] The post Build your own handheld retro console with the Arduino® UNO™ Q board appeared first on Arduino Blog.
Most 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, […] The post How to achieve cost-effective predictive maintenance with the Arduino® UNO™ Q board appeared first on Arduino Blog.

Between Microsoft's two-day outage and the FAA ground stop yesterday, there's plenty of ink spilled about who's responsible, why these things happened, etc. But it made me think back to some of the infrastructure and ops teams I've worked on, and similar (though much smaller scale) outages we encountered. Having an ops mindset is fundamentally different from a development or project management mindset. And it took me over a decade of software development to understand why.
I’ve been getting back into the politics fandom this past month.
A few weeks ago I was up late in my kitchen. I've always been a bad sleeper, starting from when I was 10 and would spend whole nights reading books and watching the clock slowly wind it way to when I had to get up and go to
The resiliency startup has slashed the amount it spends on AI; down from $4,500 per dev, per month, in August, to $1,600 now.
Nathaniel Christopher has a lovely recap of his time at WordCamp Canada. Very cool that the dashboard widget helped connect him to the local community. Hat tip: Anne.
