But even we’ve been amazed by how quickly the community has embraced it, and started pushing its boundaries in wildly different directions. In just a few months, hobbyists, educators, researchers, and engineers have been exploring what’s possible when you combine accessible hardware with serious...

Programming the Oxocard Connect with Arduino

This article was machine translated from Make Germany 7/2025 with light editing by David Groom. NanoPy is the standard IDE for Oxocard projects. However, thanks to the ESP32 microcontroller at the heart of the Oxocard, programming with C++ via the Arduino IDE is also a viable development option. This offers advantages for both beginners and experienced programmers, as this article demonstrates. The term “Oxocard” refers to an entire family of modularly designed microcomputers in credit card format. The Oxocard...

Arduino Team — December 17th, 2025 When Vitor started building his humanoid robot a year ago, he didn’t have any specific application in mind. He just knew he wanted a robot and figured he’d find a use for it later. Well, he finally gave that robot a purpose by converting it into a bartender. The original robot looked like the sort of thing you’d see in a gritty sci-fi movie, cobbled together by some kind of...
