This wild haptic system can be used to build vehicles
RAS2025-10-13T12:27:48+00:00Arduino Team — October 13th, 2025 As virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) slowly grow in adoption, their shortcomings become more obvious. Most glaringly, they only engage users’ sense of sight and hearing. Haptic tactile feedback is almost non-existent and so picking up a “sword” in VR feels like picking up a VR controller, because that’s what you’re actually doing. Many solutions have been presented for situations like that, with limited success. But larger scale...

Building a DIY GPU with Arduino
RAS2025-09-17T00:54:20+00:00Arduino Team — September 17th, 2025 A GPU (graphics processing unit) is a specialized computer component for, primarily, rendering graphics. That RTX 5090 that you took out a second mortgage to buy is one example. But GPUs are useful for far more than just playing the newest games at max settings; their parallel processing capabilities make them desirable for other tasks, like crunching data for machine learning. Jean Michel Sellier was able to build something similar...
This unique electronic toy helps children learn their shapes
RAS2025-07-01T15:12:24+00:00Arduino Team — July 1st, 2025 It isn’t a secret that many kids find math to be boring and it is easy for them to develop an attitude of “when am I ever going to use this?” But math is incredibly useful in the real world, from blue-collar machinists using trigonometry to quantum physicists unveiling the secrets of our universe through advanced calculus. By engaging children early on in fun, intuitive ways, we can lay a...
This DIY standing desk controller provides luxury car-style memory settings
RAS2025-06-04T21:12:18+00:00Arduino Team — June 4th, 2025 One of the best features you’ll find on a fancy luxury car is seat position memory. Typically, there are at least two profiles that “save” the position of the seat. When switching drivers, the new seat occupant can simply push the button for their profile and the seat will automatically move to their saved position. Tired of adjusting it manually, Andy of Yeah Nah DIY implemented a similar memory function...
Meet Pico: A smart companion robot with vision
RAS2025-06-03T14:14:32+00:00Arduino Team — June 3rd, 2025 Drawing upon the design and behaviors of the BD-1 droid from Star Wars, Mateo of the YouTube channel MateoTechLab has adapted it into a shoulder-mounted animatronic named “Pico” that can constantly interact with the wearer. All movement, sound generation, and lighting are handled by an Arduino Nano Every board embedded inside a custom 3D-printed enclosure. Its base features a micro servo motor that rotates the head up...
