The 26 inch 4x3 LCD monitor has been designed to replace CRT tube screens in arcade machine, with custom firmware that supports the majority of arcade game resolutions from 15khz 25khz and 31khz on a plug and play basis.
When we met Larry Bank at Maker Faire Rome 2025, we knew immediately that he was someone our community needed to hear from. Bank is what you might call a “perpetual optimist and inventor” – someone who not only sees problems but convinces people he can solve them, then does exactly that. His specialty? Code optimization. But Bank’s contributions to the open-source community go far beyond making software run faster. He’s spent years creating libraries, tools, and solutions that...
This project appeared in Make: Vol 94. Subscribe for more great projects. This hanging frame is an elegant way to display a favorite book, open or shut. I originally wanted a full-color e-ink display that would automatically download and cycle through a new comic strip each day, but this was easier, uses zero power, and frankly looks better on a wall. I have a Calvin and Hobbes book in mine, and turn the page every few days...
You might consider pausing your Netflix account for a while—no spoilers, we promise. Meanwhile, in a niche corner of the internet where creators still occasionally surprise audiences with real animatronics rather than relying on CGI, Jesse Velez, an animatronics designer, reveals the process behind building one of the most impressive sci-fi props for a notoriously popular TV show from recent history. He and his team built a fully wireless, portable animatronic robot that mirrored human movements in real time, enabling...
CES has always carried the maker spirit, but this year it felt more baked than ever. We didn’t see rows of 3D printers running as in the recent past. Instead, we saw their output (printed parts, custom enclosures, snapped-together modules) embedded in products. Same with Raspberry Pis and dev boards. They’re not being demoed. They’re doing the work. Looking back in the eighteen years I’ve attended the show, CES didn’t turn into a maker show so much as it absorbed...
Raw Thrills has announced two new series of cards for a couple of their card vending arcade games, one for Minecraft Dungeons Arcade and the other for Marvel: Contest of Champions. Neither of these cards were at IAAPA, nor hinted at – until now. Let’s see what these are all about!
Arduino Team — January 12th, 2026 That “digital rain” falling character animation from The Matrix is absolutely iconic. If you love the way it looks, you should build this desk clock by Bob Hammell that features the visualization. This smallish desk clock shows the time, with a digital rain effect from The Matrix overlaid on top. As the characters fall across the time, they erase the digits. Then, the next minute, the digits reappear with...
The first arcade trade show of 2026 is taking place this week, as the EAG Expo 2026 is set to get underway in London’s Excel center from the 13th. As always, we will have detailed coverage and information on this from our UK sources that are attending, but before that, we have got a small preview just before the show begins. Note that this is all what’s been previewed by the companies themselves so far (and sourced by Ted), so...
