As you all know by now, the Kinect is a pretty epic piece of kit. But did you know that you can use the Kinect to pause, rewind, or fast-forward any video you watch using your Xbox 360? It’s true–but ...

The Leap Motion controller is a rather impressive little sensor bar that is capable of generating a massive 3D point cloud and recognizing hands and fingers to allow for gesture control based ...

Makers and developers looking for a motion sensor Arduino Shield, are sure to be interested in this new ICU-Duino which has been created by Patrick Thomas Mitchell based in Ottawa, Canada. The ...

Arduino enthusiasts looking for a new project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in a new slow motion frame which has been created by instructor balls user jollifactory using an ...

Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

There's a new Arduino coming in Q2, the Arduino Ventuno Q, aimed squarely at AI and robotics applications. Ventuno Q It is based on the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-8275 processor and STM32H5 ...

In today’s automated machines and platforms, the controllers, drives, and servomotors that move these machines are simultaneously the “brains” and “muscle” of automated production. As the technology ...

Controlling hydraulic motion with precision involves understanding the fundamental difference between servo motors and hydraulic actuators. Electric motors generally respond linearly to control inputs ...

As with nearly any actuation technology in industrial automation applications, there is no shortage of opinions around the use of electric or pneumatic motion control. These predilections tend to get ...
