Cirrhosis of the liver is an extremely serious condition that requires extensive medical monitoring and often intervention. Progression of the condition can be fatal, so even if caught early it must be monitored closely. But, like most things in medicine, that gets expensive. That’s why Marb built his own DIY “micro lab” to analyze ammonia […] The post DIY micro lab analyzes ammonia levels in blood and urine appeared first on Arduino Blog.

Every year, we take a moment to reflect on the contributions we made to the open source movement, and the many ways our community has made a huge difference. As we publish the latest Open Source Report, we are proud to say 2024 was another year of remarkable progress and achievements. A year of growth and […] The post The 2024 Arduino Open Source Report is here! appeared first on Arduino Blog.

“Single-point threading” on a lathe is the process of cutting threads, such as for a bolt, into the material through turning. The spindle/workpiece spin and the carriage moves linearly at a precise amount per turn of the spindle. That linear movement is the thread pitch. But this process usually requires several passes to reach the […] The post This mod simplifies single-point threading on mini lathes appeared first on Arduino Blog.

Pianos famously have a lot of keys. A standard full-size piano has 52 white keys and 36 black keys, for a total of 88. Therefore, people need to get clever when they build self-playing pianos. However, the brute force approach works, too. Paul Junkin’s brute force strategy was to add a solenoid for every one […] The post This robotic piano has solenoids for all 88 keys appeared first on Arduino Blog.
