The next major amusement industry trade show is in sight, as IAAPA Expo Europe is getting underway in Barcelona, Spain. Running across the rest of this week (with the hall floor open from the 23rd to the 25th), the European show often serves as a warm-up for the ‘main event’ in Orlando each November; but, as time has gone by, it has started to feature its own new product launches. There also can be some distributors who showcase product that...

The kazoo falls into a category of musical instrument that I would describe as “very easy to make noise, deceptively hard to sound good.” All you have to do to make a kazoo do its thing is to hum into it! But in order to play in tune, you have to hum in tune. In other words — you have to be...
Air Week: September 22-28, 2025
Arduino Team — September 19th, 2025 Most of us get our news via the internet these days, which is only natural given the convenience and availability. But during an emergency, such as weather extreme enough to cause power or network outages, the internet may be inaccessible. How do you learn vital information in that scenario? The answer is with good old-fashioned radio. But a lot of people don’t own battery-powered radios, which is why element14 Presents’...
Fireflies know it, anglerfish know it, even Panellus stipticus knows it – some things look better in the dark. And with too many glowing things to fit in a single warehouse, Maker Faire Bay Area has multiple zones to escape the sun and enjoy the twilight.
In this episode of Make:cast, I am joined by Hannah Hagon, author of “Unplugged Tots,” and Brian Jepson, publisher at Raspberry Pi Press. (The editor of the book was Mark Frauenfelder, the first Editor in Chief of Make:.) The discussion centers on Hannah’s new book, which offers screen-free, play-based activities designed to introduce young children to computational thinking and logical problem-solving without the use of computers or coding apps. Hannah shares her inspiration for the book, rooted in her experiences...
It’s Friday, and to kick off the weekend, we have some news coming out of Sega Amusements International (SAI), the UK-based representation of Sega in arcades owned by their Kaizen Entertainment holdings company. Let’s get into it.
Arduino Team — September 18th, 2025 We’re excited to roll out a new provisioning flow on Arduino Cloud — and the UNO R4 WiFi is the first board to support it! Say goodbye to cables and complicated steps: setup is now faster and smoother.
Trade shows have soaked up a bit of news lately, but they aren’t the only things to talk about in the arcade world. exA-Arcadia has a couple of fighting games to discuss, so let’s see what is going on with Vanguard Princess R and the major content update to Axel City 2.
Arduino Team — September 17th, 2025 A GPU (graphics processing unit) is a specialized computer component for, primarily, rendering graphics. That RTX 5090 that you took out a second mortgage to buy is one example. But GPUs are useful for far more than just playing the newest games at max settings; their parallel processing capabilities make them desirable for other tasks, like crunching data for machine learning. Jean Michel Sellier was able to build something similar...
