exA-Arcadia has been busy lately, and as we’ll discuss today, they aren’t slowing down any time soon. We recently reported on their test for Vanguard Princess R (which is performing well), and now they have another fighter on test and a fighter available to pre-order. Let’s check them out.
Maker Faire’s never been about just sitting back and watching all the cool things (though there are lots of cool things to watch), it’s about making stuff yourself! There’s a ton of workshops to help you discover your new favorite hobby, and here are a few:
The wait has lasted for more than a decade, but for US fans of Sega’s “washing machine game” from Japan, properly known as Maimai DX, that wait is at long last over. Since last week, the first official cabinets for the West have been beginning to appear Stateside at Round1 locations, and the game has commenced operations here. Though there is not 100% official confirmation from all parties involved on where the rollout is going, as more and more installations...
Arduino Team — September 23rd, 2025 Most model rockets don’t do anything practical — they just go up really fast and then come back down more slowly to land in a field somewhere. Those launches can still be a lot of fun to watch, but they aren’t exactly useful. However, the sky has plenty of data of worth monitoring and the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense Rev2 is perfect for collecting it. Vlud used that...
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...
