The Dreambox is a 3D Printing Vending Machine
Last week I caught up with Richard Berwick, co-founder of the Dreambox, at UC Berkeley. The Dreambox is a 3D Printing vending machine.
Technology
Neuro Knitting
Artist duo Varvara Guljajeva and Mar Canet collaborated with MTG researcher Sebastian Mealla to produce custom scarves with their open source knitting machine, which feature brainwave activity recorded with a non-invasive EEG headset.
33-RPi Beowulf Cluster
Josh Kiepert’s beowulf cluster of 33 overclocked Raspberry Pi boards is powered by a custom PCB that sends fused 5V to the boards while providing a little RGB LED action. And check out the crispy rack design! [via Embedded Projects]
Knitic, an Open Hardware Knitting Machine
Knitic is a project involving a custom shield for an Arduino Due; these plug into a knitting machine’s solenoids and sensors, allowing Arduino control of your machine.
Beginner Electronics Project: The TapeTricity Card
The TapeTricity Card is a great first electronics project for kids. It’s quick, cheap, easy, and fun to make. Not only does it teach how to make a simple circuit, but it engages the maker’s creativity. You can make one for about 25 cents in materials.
Projects With Ryan Slaugh: Hack-Bot
In this video I will show you the steps to building your own robot and talk a little about the programming it to move. I wanted to create a robotics platform that allowed me to modify things anytime I needed to. I also wanted to build it with parts that I had around my shop already.
Component of the Month: LEDs and Diodes
We kick off June with an excerpt from Syuzi Pakhchyan’s excellent resource for wearable tech, Fashioning Technology. Want to learn more about LEDs and diodes? We’ll be covering them all this month.
