Adding Bluetooth to your IoT project usually means developing native applications to interact with your devices. However, the new Web Bluetooth API specification allows web browsers to communicate directly with Bluetooth Low Energy devices. While the specification is not finalized yet, we can already experiment with it using Chrome on macOS, Linux, Windows, and Android.

This beautiful little “Flirt” transistor radio from 1970 has had a loving conversion using a Raspberry Pi Zero and modern microswitches, and now bangs out internet radio tunes in the bathroom, its dial (and case) glowing brightly from the LEDs of the inbuilt Pimoroni Speaker pHAT’s VU meter.

This is a simple demo to show how a raspberry pi computer can interface with a Robo Wunderkind robotics kit. Although the primary users of Robo Wunderkind are 5-10 y.o. children, grown-up makers can create next-level projects and hack their robots with our Python API

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Roguelike Celebration happened earlier this month at GitHub in San Francisco. Fiction writer Robin Sloan gave a talk, “Writing with the machine: GPT-2 and text generation” at the conference. In this project, Sloan utilized OpenAI’s GPT-2 algorithm to write short fantasy stories with help from the general public. To keep things literary, Sloan created a backstory for these stories. In a nutshell, a group of wizards is simulating quests to defeat the dark lord of the land. Their simulations keep failing so they reach out to their wizard ‘apprentices’ for help granting them access to the ‘Mageframe’.
Participants in the project took a survey to pick attributes for their ‘simulation’ (the leader of the quest, the object of the quest and who they encounter on the way). These attributes are fed into GPT-2 tuned on high fantasy fiction and given a general literary framework (written by Sloan). The algorithm comes up with 1-3 sentences following the seeds to generate a short story. These short stories were then mailed (with a map unique to each story) to the participants!
Sloan walks through an example story about Fenris Tusk’s quest against the Dark Lord. In the story, Fenris meets a fearsome (but friendly?) winged Elk and is ‘permanently wounded’ by the Dark Lord. Here is a blurb (the capitalized portion is the seed text):
…THEN, ON THE ROAD TOWARD NINGVAG, THEY ENCOUNTERED AN ELK. IT was a a majestic beast, with a massive horned head and wings like the night sky. It moved with such power that it was almost a joy to behold. These were, in truth, the most dangerous and fearsome creatures in all the realms.
Although there was a good amount of filtering to create cohesive stories, Sloan’s take-home is the results are ‘beautiful and surprising’. If you’d like to learn more about Mageframe, take a look a the project page or newsletter. If you’d like to learn more about Sloan’s work, check out Sloan’s website or the newsletter archive.

A black dragon skull I made in ZBrush, referencing the iconic D&D black dragon.
So far I have done a successful print with the Anycubic Photon printer, but I have not tried printing this with a filament printer.
The file will come in at a very small scale, you will likely have to scale it up to 1000% scale in order to get it to fit right, as it was exported directly from ZBrush.
To also get a good print, I would also recommend rotating the model so its nose points up, so that any and all supports(because supports WILL be needed) are along the bottom/back of the skull.
If you make ANY successful prints, please let me know!

This is a 1:250 model of the SpaceX Starship in the configuration from the Elon Musk presentation on 9/28/2019. It has now been taken apart to finish construction and the design will probably change slightly before it flies, but I wanted to make this one for reference to future designs.

Does what it says on the tin. Fast wireless charging (Max 10W). No electrical knowledge or soldering needed. Screwless design, just glue in the PCB and coil, the 2 halves snap fit together. Works on any Qi compliant device, I’ve used it with an iPhone 8 and my Samsung Galaxy S9. It can fully charge my S9 in around 3.5 hours.

My take on the web shooters from “Into the Spider-Verse,” version 1.0.
The design is hinged, making it easily wearable. I am still working on a good way to connect the other side, ideally with velcro. I placed small strips on my prototype print, but it was not strong enough to keep it shut around my wrist.
I am still working on the design to make it more screen-accurate as well as more functional.
This design is designed for a slightly smaller than average sized wrist, so rescale accordingly.
Enjoy and share any ideas you have for improvements.

Designed by a very talented game designer friend of mine, this beautiful day of the dead mask will suit any day of the dead festival ! decorate as you please, wear with pride and show off to all family and friends.
This design features a head and separate jaw that can be brought together with a hinging mechanism of your choice, providing you with a dynamic mask design to wow anyone and all. The files of the mask are rather large and I found that printing the mask at 60% scale allowed for a perfect fit for a head size that has an ear to ear dimension of 170mm and a chin to top of head dimension of 250mm.

The fine folks at Retrokits have created a new bit of open source gear called the RK-007 MIDI Commander:
Not your average number; This one is a little device to hack into your MIDI Setup. We made it with minimal amount of ( – cheap & easy to find – ) parts and soldering and devised a smart use of the keypad for easy and versatile use. It could be a handy tool to keep in your MIDI setup – and perhaps even be a good starting point for other firmware you find even more useful: This one you can build in Q-Style!
Using the keypad and knob, you can use it to select MIDI channels, send out Program Change, Note On/Off, Start/Stop, MIDI Panic, and more.
an earlier prototype of the RK-007
You can find the project files here, including wiring diagram, Arduino code, and 3D printed case models.
I’m looking forward to building a modified version with an ItsyBitsy or Feather!
