At CircuitDigest, we've been creating and sharing Internet of Things (IoT) projects with our community for a long time. A crucial part of these projects is enabling communication between IoT devices and end users, and when it comes to simple notifications, nothing beats the practicality of sending an SMS.

However, sending an SMS from…

Cooking robots have become a growing fascination, with high-end automated systems and futuristic humanoid designs capturing imaginations. Even such robotic chefs have been in service in Japan for years now. However, these solutions are often expensive and inaccessible, leaving hobbyists to experiment with simpler, DIY approaches. A recent project by Josh from the Fungineering YouTube channel…

Remember the thrill of playing against a computer in classic games like chess or ping pong? Now imagine that experience brought to life, where a robot not only competes against you but predicts your every move. That’s exactly what the DIY Air Hockey Robot does. The DIY Air Hockey Robot was created by the YouTuber known as zeroshotrobotics, and it uses real-time computer vision and predictive…

In a recent YouTube video, Koshiro – a fourth year student from Hiroshima University shows how to transform your basic SG90 RC Servo Motor into a fully functional Smart Servo with advanced capabilities. Powered by an STM32 microcontroller, this upgrade replaces the generic motor driver board that we see in servo motors by adding a custom made driver board that…

In a world increasingly dominated by surveillance, privacy is a growing concern. Sean Hodgins’ Become Anyone 2.0 project explores a novel way to address this issue. While it leans towards being a novelty item, the mask demonstrates futuristic concepts reminiscent of science fiction. The Become Anyone 2.0 mask integrates 2,960 addressable RGB LEDs embedded into custom PCB panels, creating a…

YouTuber Stargate System turned a frustrating sewer pipe issue into an opportunity for innovation by creating a custom inspection robot. Persistent blockages at his parents’ 50-year-old home baffled professionals, whose efforts only offered temporary relief. The problem stemmed from a 120-degree bend introduced when the sewer pipe was rerouted decades ago, creating a blind spot for traditional…

A few months back we were all excited to hear the news of the all-new Raspberry Pi Pico 2 along with their new RP2350 MCU lineup release. Although everyone expected the release of Pico 2 W along with it, just like in the past Raspberry Pi waited a few months before announcing its launch. Raspberry Pi has officially launched the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, at just 7$, with just a 2$ increase from…

Let us introduce Alpha, our quadrupled robot! Constructed to investigate the future of independent companionship. With the aid of development, we intend to upgrade our robot with AI applications. Of course, the inspiration for this project came from the Boston Dynamics "Spot Mini" robot. Within a $200 budget, a prototype was completed in a month.

 Raspberry Pi has introduced its newest AI Camera, which is now available for $70. This new camera module, built around Sony’s IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor, is designed to run neural network models directly on the camera, offloading the processing workload from the Raspberry Pi. The camera is equipped with a 12 MP sensor with manual focus and an integrated RP2040…

 Last month Raspberry Pi launched its new development board Raspberry Pi Pico featuring the all-new RP2350 chip. Even though the Pico 2 came with a ton of upgrades and new features, it lacked one major feature, ie wireless connectivity. Just like the Pico, Pico 2 also lacked any kind of wireless connectivity options such as Bluetooth or WiFi. As we know Pico got the wireless…

After a few days of release, a crucial bug was discovered for the RP2350 microcontroller. The Raspberry Pi Foundation released their new and improved in-house designed microcontroller RP2350 along with their new Raspberry Pi Pico 2 development board featuring the same SoC a few days back. Raspberry Pi has confirmed that the bug causes pins to freeze outputting 2.15V when configured as inputs…

Bus Pirate is one of the most popular hardware debugging multi-tool used by the electronics community. It was originally developed by Ian Lesnet in 2008 for the purpose of programming, debugging, and analysing microcontrollers and other ICs. Over the years the tool got numerous upgrades and the last version was the Bus Pirate 5, which featured an RP2040. As the Raspberry Pi Foundation…
