Handling tiny surface mount components and inspecting PCBs is a lot easier with a nice stereo microscope, but because of their cost and bulk, most hobbyists have to do without. At best they might have ...

Exploiting the flexibility of plastic, a group of researchers has created a 3D printable microscope with sub-micron accuracy. By bending the supports of the microscope stage, they can manipulate a ...

Unlike an Arduino board that requires external components to be functional, a Raspberry Pi is a powerhouse by itself right out of the box. It is, after all, a computer. This means that by simply ...

For years, Raspberry Pi — the world’s most innovative tiny computer — has turned the tech world on its head. This plug-and-play computer isn’t much larger than a credit card and fits easily in your ...

Many years ago, I worked with my daughter on her science fair project built around a modified CMUcam that was originally developed at Carnegie Mellon University. She modified the code so that it ...

If you would like to learn how to get up and running as quickly as possible using the new Raspberry Pi Artificial Intelligent (AI) camera you are sure to enjoy this quick start guide created by the ...

The latest version of Raspberry Pi, the Pi 5, is packed with features that make even more clever projects possible. It comes complete with a faster chip to help with smoother multi-camera builds, PCI ...

In brief: Raspberry Pi just launched the Raspberry Pi AI Camera as an affordable component for AI-driven projects. It pairs nicely with the company's new Raspberry Pi AI Kit for the Pi 5. However, ...

In context: 3D printing is slowly becoming mainstream, having moved beyond functional prototyping, rapid tooling, trinkets, and toys. We have already seen people use 3D printers to create fashion ...
