Raspberry Pi Tracks Unseen Drones Using Sound #drone #droneday

Some scenarios might call for the need to track a drone. For some of the same reasons drones great, they are also pretty hard to track. DroneChase is a Raspberry Pi powered system that uses AI to track a drones flight, even when the view is obstructed. Picked up by Tom’s Hardware:The Pi is programmed to draw a red box around the drone when it’s detected. Of course, it’s easy enough for it to track the drone using image recognition with a camera. Where it gets really interesting is how it detects the drone when hidden from view. The team ...

This project provides a substitute for a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) on a kitchen range that had become difficult to read with age (these displays typically begin to dim after 10 years or so). Dan Ellis’ solution is to mirror the intended VFD display on a separate 128 x 64 pixel backlit LCD display.The project uses a Raspberry Pi Pico, reading the VFD clock and outputing on the new display. The code is written in Arduino.See all the details including the code on GitHub.

Her movements are amazingly good — as she moves her hands along the keys and sways her mouth and head to the music, the viewer gets pulled in and captivated by the emotion of the song.Ben Howard, the creator and mastermind behind Vanessa the Robot, used six servos and motion-capture software to create the movements of the puppet and piano. The piece is ...

How ‘I Spy’ Books Are Made

The video shows the high level of intricacy involved in the set building process. The “I Spy” book series has captured the imagination of millions of readers. Part of what made these books so magical is that all of the images were created with real objects. Photographer and photo-illustrator Walter Wick carefully arranged each scene and hid the objects.

This note describes the process of searching for a way to output Eurorack CV (control voltage) signals from synthio via the I2S DAC using an audiobusio connection on a UM FeatherS2. Problem Statement: When using a CV-like object in synthio such as Envelope and LFO to control a Note’s amplitude, the resultant output is placed above the baseline voltage and only responds to positive control values. For example, a sine-wave LFO created to span negative and positive values to modulate a note’s frequency is rectified if used to modulate a note’s amplitude. This becomes important when an analog output of ...

Synthesizer craftsperson Love Hultén has created a wonderful new synthesizer/ferrofluid music visualizer:Hultén is a master of rehousing commercial synthesizers, such as the KORG minlogue xd used here, into gorgeous handmade wooden enclosures, often combining multiple instruments under one hood. This build adds a Source Audio Collider delay + reverb pedal to the signal chain and then puts the black goo front and center, by adding a hypnotic, vaguely threatening porthole filled with ferrofluid that dances to the beat.See more of Hultén’s work here.

It makes it easier than ever to get prototyping by requiring no upfront desktop software downloads. With CircuitPython you can write clean and simple Python code to control hardware instead of having to use complex low-level languages like C or C++ (what Arduino uses for programming). Check out the full guide!

Articulated Light Dragon from The legend of zelda Tears of the Kingdom – Print In Place #3Dprinting #3DThursday

MrBlueOrTheBee shared this project on Thingiverse! I designed this articulated light dragon from the recent and popular game: The Legend Of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. I designed this model to be print-in-place without supports! The crystals also aren’t too sharp. It works right after printing with no assembly, although you may need to loosen up the legs a little. I recommend printing around the 80% to 95% scale range!Download files: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6226139 Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit!
