Building a rude talking trashcan robot for TEDx Copenhagen // Omnirobot E1

I’m building a rude robot trashcan for the breaks at TEDx Copenhagen 2019. They asked us to build a rude moving trashcan with a voice and drive it with an “in your face” attitude at TEDx Copenhagen in Tivolisalen… so we did.
The robot is built around an Arduino Uno used as the main controller and an Arduino Nano for the motor control. Commucation is via an USB Host Shield and a Bluetooth dongle. 2 MDD10A 2.0 motorcontrollers were used to control the 4 JGB37-550 motors.
The mp3 player is a Serial mp3 player v1.0 and the amplifier and speakers come from a set of Z150 Logitech computer speakers. Battery is a Tattu 22000 mAh, 14.8V 4 cells LiPo battery. A DC-DC converter was used to deliver 5V for the controllers.

Introducing Windows 20 (Concept by Avdan)

Introducing Windows 20. The future of Windows. Designed by Kamer Kaan Avdan.
This video is a concept created for the purposes of visualising how Windows 10 could be changed in a future update.

This is NOT an actual software.
I am not affiliated with Microsoft.

Microsoft confirms there will be no Windows 20.
The name for this concept has been chosen as Windows 20 to emphasize the idea of ”The Future of Windows 10”. For those who are curious ”20” stands for the year 2020.

Call of Duty cheaters on PC are pushing console players away from crossplay

Last week, Infinity Ward said they’d “issued over 70,000 bans worldwide” to cheaters in Call of Duty: Warzone. And yet, as Eurogamer reports, players are still encountering aimbots and wallhacks in both Warzone and Modern Warfare. Here’s just one blatant example of cheating.

Obviously, mouse-and-keyboard players have an advantage over those using controllers, even with aim assist. But as the clip linked above shows, killcams expose players getting strings of kills via perfect headshots without ever aiming

Ender 3 conversion to 400×400 with the Ender Extender kit

Is your Ender 3 now too small? Perhaps you’ve invested time and money getting it how you like it and don’t want to lose your tuned machine. Ender Extender kits retain much of the standard parts, but replace pieces of the frame to make the build volume much larger.

This was a pretty smooth install, some more pictures in the manual would be welcome but even in its current state this is very doable. The performance of the printer seems to be maintained but with a much larger build volume. Overall I am a fan of this mod because it represents great value for money over an off the shelf large format printer, with the bonus of being compatible with Ender 3 upgrades.

ASUS Launches An Old GPU: The NVIDIA GT 710 with Four 4K HDMI Ports

I’ve noticed of late that certain companies are ‘relaunching’ older parts in new designs. We’ve seen it recently with some of the older AMD APUs finding their way into new motherboard designs, but here it’s a case of a base GPU returning to the market. ASUS has listed on its website a ‘new’ GT 710: this is a super low end graphics chip with 192 CUDA cores on the 87 mm2 GK208 Kepler die that originally launched in late 2015 / early 2016. The goal of this sort of graphics card us to supply basic video outputs to machines that do not come with any integrated graphics on the processor.
