Plankton help remediate 30-50% of the world's carbon dioxide and provide the foundation for the global food chain, making up the world's largest daily movement of biomass as it travels across the ocean. The shapes, colors, and movements of these billions of creatures are as vast as the oceans that sustain them. Understanding plankton is crucial to understanding the world around us and our impact on it.
One obstacle to this type of research is the sheer size of the area to be explored, as well as limited resources for research fleets and specialized equipment. By developing a method to scale up high-quality visual exploration and documentation, we can greatly increase our understanding of the complex web of life around us, and how we in turn influence it.
After the user manually solders a PCB board, this board becomes the reflow controller, and then this board can be used to control other boards for reflow soldering, because this board has been specially designed to open a heating layer.
The core idea of USB portable programmable instruments is to provide electronic engineers and enthusiasts with a series of low-cost, portable, network-enabled, programmable, and open source practical tools. The multifunctional USB power supply is the first of its kind and is expected to complement traditional adjustable regulated power supplies.
In theory, it could connect to Google Calendar and show today's events while still being ongoing. Also on the list of features to be implemented is a switch or sensor that changes mode when the pen is removed, and buttons or touch controls for the user interface.
The current demonstration is running on RP2040, using one of the M0 cores as the GPU.
Several 51 chips were also used in the design.
It introduces in detail how to build an SPI to 10BASE-T to realize network data sending and receiving. 10BASE-T uses two differential pairs: one for transmission and one for reception. Each pair is coupled through a transformer and the signals are differential and Manchester encoded. All schematics and diagrams are open.
By CNC engraving a PCB in the following manner, the curved pad can perform capacitive sensing in 3 different directions and ultimately detect the 3D position of the finger.
NanoVNA is a small handheld vector network analyzer with LCD display and battery-powered portable device. This project aims to provide a useful RF gadget.
The measurement frequency range is 50KHz - 300MHz, and there are many derivatives based on this design on the Internet.
It's all open source, and their documentation is very detailed, which is a rare learning material.
This is a mature development board combined with a magnetic rotary encoder, which uses a Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller with a base resolution of 36, expandable to 36,000 steps per revolution.
It is convenient for users to use the kite turbine to charge electric bicycles and electric cars when traveling.
3D printer filament can be produced from discarded water bottles, which will serve two key purposes: recycling plastic waste and producing 3D printer filament at extremely low cost.
The authors hope that as many people as possible will replicate and improve on this project. Therefore, all CAD, firmware and other resources are open source. Special consideration was also given to ensuring that all parts and tools used in the build process were easily sourced.
The wind turbine is mainly 3D printed and equipped with a BLDC motor as a generator. Foldable and no larger than 2L soda bottle. Easy to replicate and low cost to manufacture.
Starfish is a pick and place machine control board built on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller and Trinamic TMC2209 motor driver. This control board has some similarities to a 3D printer control board, but it has some unique issues to solve—including controlling solenoids and communicating with vacuum sensors. All board information is open source, and detailed explanations are provided to help you copy successfully.
Can measure DC/AC voltage, DC/AC current, resistance, inductance, capacitance, diode, frequency. Built-in 16bit ADC, digital filter, RMS effective value circuit and peak hold circuit. Multimeter control unit integrated with microcontroller, officially launched reference design kit, powered by button battery, including schematic diagram.
The current design solution uses an 8-bit ADC chip ADC08100 and a 100M bandwidth front-end analog circuit. In fact, if you want to play, you can improve the indicators and use AD9288 or the domestic alternative MXT2088. One chip has two channels and achieves a 250M sampling rate through rapid alternating sampling.
MiniQ is a mini quadcopter that is open source from hardware design to control algorithm. The algorithm used for the Altitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) is the DCM complementary filter. The system calculates the height and controls the output PWM of the four motors 1600 times per second. It can be controlled remotely via Bluetooth (Bluetooth Serial Port Profile).
