A Look at Sensorless Homing: Stepper Motor Control Without End Switches
Stepper motors play a crucial role in various industrial and DIY applications, providing precise control over movement in CNC machines, 3D printers, and robotic arms. Typically, these motors rely on external sensors or end switches to detect their home position or stop movement at a predefined point. These sensors…
Ivmech Mechatronics Ltd has introduced PitFusion, an innovative dual-camera module designed for Raspberry Pi and compatible single-board computers. Combining a Melexis MLX90640 thermal sensor with a 5-megapixel Raspberry Pi camera, PitFusion captures both thermal and visual images simultaneously. This compact solution is engineered for applications in automation,…
Ever thought of turning a pistachio into a working AirPod? Well, a creative Penguin DIY just fixed earbuds into pistachio shell, by dismantling the earbuds, reducing their size, and fixing all the components into the same miniaturized board that will fit into a pistachio shell.
The process wasn’t easy. He had to meticulously remove, resize the board, and solder each tiny part onto the…
Rednexing, a North Carolina based startup, is preparing to launch a Crowd Supply campaign for PowerTortoise IoT, an ESP32-based development board designed for ultra-low-power operation. Built to run on standard AA batteries for up to eight years, this device is perfect for monitoring temperature and humidity in hard-to-reach areas like attics, crawlspaces, and storage spaces where wired…
British semiconductor technology company Arm is reportedly considering an expansion in Bengaluru, according to a hint provided by a company executive during the CII International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in New Delhi. Peter Stephens, director of government relations at Arm indicated that the Bengaluru presence may grow further, though details remain…
SounDigital, known for its high-performance audio amplifiers, has integrated Infineon’s CoolGaN transistors into its new 1500 W Class D amplifier. This upgrade makes the amplifier more energy-efficient, compact, and powerful, while also improving sound quality.
SoundDigitals uses Infineon’s enhanced Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistors…
The Robotics and AI (RAI) Institute has developed the Ultra Mobility Vehicle (UMV), a self-balancing robotic bike capable of navigating challenging terrain and even jumping onto high surfaces. Reinforcement learning (RL) is playing a key role in helping robots adapt to complex situations and perform better.
Unlike traditional…

Water scarcity remains one of the most pressing challenges of our time, particularly in dry regions where access to fresh water is a constant struggle. While traditional solutions involve drilling deeper wells or implementing inefficient fog nets, a new approach leveraging high-voltage physics could revolutionise water collection. In a new experiment, Jay Bowles from the Plasma Channel tested…
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Salesforce have announced a strategic collaboration to drive digital transformation in the manufacturing and semiconductor industries. The partnership combines extensive industry expertise of TCS with Salesforce’s leading customer relationship management capabilities. By leveraging artificial intelligence, cloud technology and…
A YouTuber has developed a combat suit featuring a spinal battery system designed for improved power efficiency and reliability. The system includes voltage regulation, overcurrent protection, and cell isolation to prevent damage from physical impacts.
The suit incorporates an "ideal diode" circuit using MOSFET-based switching…
Ballbots are a fascinating type of robot that can move in any direction, but controlling them is no easy task. Traditional controllers, like PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative), struggle to handle these balancing issues, while more advanced methods can cause instability and excessive movements.
A team of researchers, led by Dr. Van-Truong Nguyen from Hanoi University of Industry,…
