Air Week: August 11-17, 2025

Atlantic Records, Pt. 4 – 1952

Atlantic Records was the most influential, significant and important independent record label to come out of the late-1940s, during a time when there were many great, small indie labels being born. What gave Atlantic the advantage over Specialty, Chess, Modern, Vee-Jay, Exclusive, King, etc is the breadth of material, variety of music styles and the sheer number of hit records that led to the Rock n’...

A robotic hand with the dexterity to sign the whole ASL alphabet

Arduino Team — August 7th, 2025 Even if we ignore intelligence, humans are able to speak when other animals — even other great apes — can’t, because of our specialized and complex vocal anatomy. Similarly, ASL (American Sign Language) wouldn’t be possible without our incredible hand and finger dexterity. Like any other complex physiological system, that is difficult to recreate artificially. But Kelvin Gonzalez was able to pull it off and build his Vulcan V3 robotic...

Cool Crowdfunding: Games, Gear, and Gem

We receive so many pitches for crowdfunding projects. Since crowdfunding is a bit of a gamble, it is always hard to determine just how to write about these projects, considering that many of them may not ever deliver. Cool Crowdfunding is our way of sharing some of the ones that catch our eye and that we think readers should know about.  Remember, some of the crowdfunding projects from our previous Cool Crowdfunding collections may still be active! Go back and check...

Bambu H2D vs Prusa Core One: Reviewed

This article appeared in Make: Vol 94. Subscribe for more great reviews. While we normally review machines independently, these new flagship models — the Prusa Core One and the Bambu H2D — are hard not to compare against each other. Back in the good old days of Make:’s 3D printer testing, we put machines through a series of tests to quantify how well they worked. So I ran all the old test models with the H2D and...

Updated Arduino cores with ZephyrOS (beta)  

Last December we released our beta Arduino cores based on Zephyr. Today, we are excited to make another step in this beta program for Arduino cores based on Zephyr! ZephyrOS is an open-source, state-of-the-art, real-time operating system (RTOS) designed for low-power, resource-constrained devices. We are transitioning Arduino cores to ZephyrOS to ensure continued support and innovation for developers. This change follows Arm’s deprecation of MbedOS, which has historically powered some of our cores. By adopting ZephyrOS, we are...

Is your heating radiator working? This system uses edge AI to find out

Arduino Team — August 5th, 2025 Heating isn’t just about comfort in very cold regions in the world, it is absolutely critical. If your home’s heat fails when you’re away, you might get back to find burst pipes. That’s especially problematic for large apartment buildings that rely on central boilers and radiators in the units. Manivannan’s Arduino-based edge solution leverages AI to detect those radiator failures and raise an alarm. When we talk about technology...
