“Technology Will Save Us” Goes to Rio
If you were tasked to solve an everyday problem in 72 hours with DIY technology, what problem would you solve? We asked 36 Rio based designers, engineers, makers and thinkers just that question.

(Mind)Storms are Brewing in the Shed
Think of the best pairing you know, be it chocolate and peanut butter, rainy days and good books, or the purr of an engine and the open road. Then, imagine pairing one of the best toys of your childhood, Legos, and the hobbyist toy of your adulthood, the Arduino microcontroller. Combined, these two tools are poised for […]
DIY Satellites: Now and Near Future
Space is becoming increasingly accessible to more people thanks to plummeting costs, weight, and energy use of the technologies needed for freeflying satellites to sense and direct their orientation, communicate with the ground, and perform complicated computations in real time on orbit. The dawn of this new age of DIY satellite making is in no small […]
Building an Arduino out of Paper
Following in the footsteps of the original Paperduino—and the Paperduino Leonardo—comes the Paperduino Tiny.
Live from New York, It’s Arduino Day!
If you can’t make it to a local event tomorrow, MAKE will be streaming live video of Arduino Day 2014 from ITP in New York City.
Arduino Controlled Cooling/Heating System for Beer Fermentation
Temperature control during fermentation is a key factor for the perfect homebrew—and is something that is mandatory if you would like to brew like a pro—and that’s a perfect fit for the Arduino.
Arduino Based Cellular Sensor Sentinel
Expanding the capabilities of your Arduino is easily done by adding a shield. Plugging directly into an Arduino and typically including custom libraries for easy coding, sheilds provide a quick way to expand a project. In his Weekend Project: Cellular Sensor Sentinel, Adam Wolf uses a Seeed Studio GPRS/GSM Shield to send text messages when sensors are tripped.
