Meccanismo Complesso - PCBGrip Banner 3

PCBGrip – an electronic assembly system for OpenBeam

PCBGrip is a kit of mechanical components that is designed to integrate seamlessly with the framing system as OpenBeam (here to visit the official site).. Thus you can consider it as one of the kits useful for a rapid prototyping. This extension adds new features to the already enormous flexibility of the framing system, in particular, you will have a better integration of the electronic components.

Meccanismo Complesso - InMoov

InMoov – the open source 3D printed robot

  Moov is a Gael Langevin’s project, a French sculptor and designer. His main idea was to be able to carry out a project, such as a robot, through cooperation and sharing of all those who are able to contribute in this area, working through a community of “builders”.

Meccanismo Complesso - Steampunk keyboard 3

 Build your SteamPunk keyboard

    Some of you will know the television series called Warehouse 13. Do you remember when “Artie” Arthur Nielsen researched for artifacts lost in the world typing on a particular keyboard? Well, that keyboard was built with a Steampunk style. Many items made in this style caught the attention of many DIY (do it yourself) experts who have tried to reproduce them using material that were easily available. The Steampunk keyboard that we talked about, is one of the most eye-catching items that have been built and it is the object of discussion in this article.

Meccanismo Complesso - Cluster MPI Raspberry Pi

 Clusters and parallel programming with MPI and Raspberry Pi

   In this article, you’ll see how easy it is to make a small cluster consisting of two Raspberry Pi boars. As a programming language you will use Python and as for programming in parallel, you will see how easy you can be implemented parallel code thanks to the MPI library. A series of examples will then introduce you to the basic concepts of the parallel programming that will be useful for you to develop any project.

 Cymatics: the beauty of the acoustic waves

  This empirical approach allows us to visualize the nodal lines of motion of vibration of the membrane, and the figures that are obtained are called Chladni’s patterns, in honor of the German physicist and musician who first studied their characteristics

Arduino: measuring the Earth’s magnetic field with the magnetometer HMC5883L

This component (a small chip) HMC5883L, produced by Honeywell, bases its operation on  AMR (Anisotropic Magnetoresistive) technology and allows you to be able to measure both the direction and the magnitude of the earth’s magnetic field. This magnetometer HMC5883L has within 3 magneto-resistive sensors arranged on three perpendicular axes (the Cartesian axes x, y and z).

Lilypad Arduino main

 LilyPad Arduino – the wearable technology

   LilyPad Arduino is one of the many Arduino microcontrollers, but unlike the more well-known Arduino UNO, MEGA and Yun, this little board has very specific characteristics that make it unique. In fact, the LilyPad can be sewn on fabric. In fact, with less than 5€ you can add technology to our garments, but also bags, shoes, diaries, and so on. In this article we will know in detail this board and we’ll see some examples of how it has been applied in some exciting projects.
