Building a custom Arduino-controlled ‘analog’ dashboard
RAS2025-11-06T19:23:55+00:00Building a custom Arduino-controlled ‘analog’ dashboard
Arduino Team — November 6th, 2025 The folks over at Bad Obsession Motorsport in the UK specialize in unusual automotive builds, from a four-wheel drive Austin Mini to custom camper van called The Escargot. While working on that Mini, which they’ve dubbed “Binky,” they realized that they’d need create their own custom instrument cluster. But they wanted it to look appropriate for the classic car, so they used Arduino...November 6, 2025RASUncategorizedAnalog Dashboard, Arduino, Car Dashboard, Dashboard, Nano Every, Uno0 Comments
Alan-1 Brings The Atari PONG Coffee Table Back To Life
RAS2025-11-06T17:24:18+00:00Way back in 2017, a small French company by the name of Calinfer created a little electromechanical wonder, which simulated Atari’s 1972 video game PONG. Designed as an interactive coffee table, the idea quickly garnered a lot of attention and reportedly sold very well. Now, Alan-1, site sponsor and makers of the Atari Recharged arcade series, are bringing it back. Take a look…
A Quick History
Following from what was mentioned above with Calinfer,Best Boards for LEDs in 2026
RAS2025-11-06T17:00:00+00:00Pairing addressable LEDs with a programmable LED controller simplifies hardware and animations. Many controllers run on the ESP32, using Wi-Fi to host browser-based software that customizes patterns and organizes playlists, no coding required. Anyone can flash open-source control software like WLED to an off-the-shelf board, but a prefab controller provides power management and built-in sensor integration to optimize space and simplify wiring. From plug-and-play to completely customizable, the right LED controller will perk up any project!

...3D printing a stunning silver mechatronic beetle necklace
RAS2025-11-06T15:14:04+00:00Arduino Team — November 6th, 2025 CNC milling is expensive, messy, and requires a lot of technical knowledge, which is why we all want the ability to 3D print metal. But while technologies like SLS metal printing do exist, they are generally out of reach of hobbyists. Fortunately, there is a secret third option: investment casting. Formlabs makes casting resins specifically for that job, which Allie Katz and DJ Harrigan (AKA Mr. Volt) used to create...
