Pocket Tank is an open-source virtual fish tank that uses a small AI model to control its virtual fish. It runs on an ESP32-S3 and creates a small aquarium where fish can eat, explore, rest, follow other fish, play, and interact with each other. Each fish has different values such as hunger, energy, curiosity, stress, boredom, and trust, which can change how it behaves. The project was created…
Indian researchers and engineers have successfully established a free-space quantum key distribution link spanning 5.56 km, marking the country’s first such demonstration at this distance. The field trial, conducted on the night of 27-28 September 2026, connected the Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG-N) with IIT Gandhinagar. QNu Labs supplied…
Traditional infrared presence sensors are cheap, but unreliable for smart homes, often turning off lights if you remain still for even a few seconds. Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar modules offer a far superior alternative by detecting micro-movements like breathing and even tracking a person's exact 2D position in a room. However, commercial mmWave presence sensors can cost anywhere from $40…
FeroFlyF405 is an open source flight controller built around the STM32F405 microcontroller and running INAV firmware. It was designed from scratch by a maker named Farhan, who shared the hardware files on GitHub and documented the build in a video walkthrough.
The board has an LSM6DSL IMU, a DPS368 barometer, 12 motor outputs, a CAN bus, an I2C port…
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced four new power modules featuring 650 V superjunction MOSFETs in the industry-standard SOT-227 package. Designed to deliver an optimized balance between conduction and switching losses, the Vishay Semiconductors VS-FC50SA65, VS-FC100SA65, VS-FC150SA65, and VS-FC50LA65 support high efficiency power conversion in industrial applications.…
SemiconLab has introduced LiteWing Blockly, a visual programming application that lets users create autonomous LiteWing drone programs with drag-and-drop blocks instead of writing code from scratch. The software is designed to make drone programming more accessible for students, beginners, makers, and educators, while also showing the Python code generated by each block arrangement in real…
Maker pasquale887 has developed HaloSense V1, a wearable haptic headband that helps users sense the direction of people and objects through vibrations instead of looking at a screen. The headband has 13 small vibration motors arranged around the forehead. When a person or target is detected in a particular direction, the motor in the corresponding position vibrates, helping the wearer…
A maker has built a calculator out of some 3D-Printed parts that can perform up to six-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division that too without any complicated electronics. The machine is made from more than 130 custom designed parts and works entirely through gears, pins, levers, springs, and a hand crank. Its design is inspired by historic mechanical calculators, especially…
This DIY drone is doing something much more than taking aerial photos. It uses a custom FMCW radar to create detailed images of the ground from the air.This is built by Henrik Forstén.The system sends radio signals toward the ground and measures the signals that bounce back. As the drone flies, it collects thousands of these measurements and combines them using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)…
David Montero Crespo, creator of Velxio.dev, has managed to run the classic 1998 PlayStation game Metal Gear Solid on the tiny, low-cost microcontroller board - the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32S3 Sense. Instead of emulating the old PlayStation hardware, the project rebuilds the game from its reversed C source code and compiles it directly to run on the ESP32-S3’s processor. The game data is stored…
CPSdrone is building a DIY autonomous submarine to explore shipwrecks without needing GPS while underwater. Since GPS signals cannot reach the submarine underwater, the team added a Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) to help it navigate. The DVL sends sound waves toward the seafloor and listens for the signals that bounce back. By measuring how the sound changes as the submarine moves, it can…
LazyDays Creation built a compact, portable digital compass based on an ESP32-S3 Super Mini and a three-axis magnetometer. He chooses an ESP32-S3 Super Mini because it is capable enough for the project while also including a built-in lithium-battery charging circuit. A round colour display gives the finished device a distinctive watch-like appearance, while the rechargeable battery allows it…
