Hot glue guns are pretty simple beasts: there’s an on/off switch, a heating element, and a source of current, be it battery or wired. You turn it on, and the heater starts warming up; eventually you ...

Motor control ICs deliver higher efficiency, along with AI/ML functionality for improvements in predictive maintenance.

Making a servo tester using an Attiny85 micro chip, Attiny45 also works for this project. This diy servo tester is as good as any other servo tester, the difference is that it can be programmed to do ...

While Valve’s Steam Controller was ultimately a commercial failure, there’s no denying it’s an interesting piece of hardware. With dual trackpads, a wealth of buttons, and Bluetooth capability, it ...

Sponsored by GAM. Imagine a small child trying to push a full-size adult in a shopping cart. It’s possible to get the cart moving (barely), but it would ...

Researchers at the MIT Media Lab and Italy’s Politecnico di Bari have developed artificial muscle fibers that aim to match ...

Tyler has worked on, lived with and tested all types of smart home and security technology for over a dozen years, explaining the latest features, privacy tricks, and top recommendations. With degrees ...

PID controllers are named after the Proportional, Integral and Derivative control modes they have. IT's basically a control loop feedback mechanism. As the name suggests, PID algorithm consists of ...

Blake has over a decade of experience writing for the web, with a focus on mobile phones, where he covered the smartphone boom of the 2010s and the broader tech scene. When he's not in front of a ...

This project implements speed and direction control of a DC motor using an Arduino Uno and an H-Bridge motor driver (L293D). The system allows the user to control the motor rotation direction using ...
