TTGO T Display – Space Shooter game- free code

Hello! Here is my game that I made for TTGO T-Display board. This board is based on ESP32, it have built in TFT display, and battery charger. It is perfect for making games. So here it is, space shooter game. I created custom PCB for this project. I used PCBWAY.com service, they have best prices and quality.

Here is code of game: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17jek…

Arduino Portenta + STEMMA Cable = PorSTEMMA

We wanted to try out the Arduino Portenta that has arrived, and what better way than to test it out with our STEMMA QT boards? There’s a 5 pin expansion port, which exposes the I2C pins and power+ground. Using our handy MKR to STEMMA cable https://www.adafruit.com/product/4483 we can plug in any of our 50+ sensors and displays. Here we show how adding an OLED and IMU is plug-n-play trivial and our examples just work!

Make Eating Robot With Arduino Nano | Gold Screw

The idea for this project came from my daughter.

She wants a robot, and this robot can open its mouth so that it can put food in its mouth.

So, I searched indoors for things that were available: cardboard, Arduino Nano, ultrasonic sensor, servo motor… to be able to create a robot for girls to play in the fastest time, and at the lowest possible cost.

This perpetual calendar displays the date, month, and day using cryptic rings

Earlier this year we covered an automated perpetual calendar, which used three ring gears to align the date, month, and day of the week with a viewing window. After building one of these devices, Wolfspaw was inspired to put a new “spin” on things by combining it with a linear Cryptic Calendar, featuring digits that only make sense in the viewing window.

The resulting project looks like a few rings inscribed with alien symbols, until each is rotated in place. This frames the numerical date, as well as abbreviated month and day so that they can be read.

Make your own PCB Tester using acupuncture needles and your 3D printer

If you are electronic or electronic hobbyist in general, you have probably used testing boards (or probing JICs) on occasion. These are often used to verify electronic boards or directly program them.

There are countless of them, from manual to fully automatic and you can easily buy them in countless online stores. However, our colleague Giuseppe Finizia decided one day to design and print his own completely versatile PCB Tester simply by using acupuncture needles, some cables and his 3D printer, cheaper impossible.

DeLorean Electric Car Conversion: Behind The Build

A lot has changed since Back To The Future was released in 1985. During these last 3.5 decades, we’ve seen a plethora of hybrid and electric cars enter the market – from the practical Toyota Prius to the industry disrupting Tesla. The EV revolution has also inadvertently led to a new era in DIY electric cars. With more electric cars on the road, Motors, inverters and battery cells, which used to be hard to come by, are now readily available on the after market.

John DeLorean’s DMC-12 – the car we all know and love as Doc and Marty’s Back to the Future Car was meant to be the definitive sports car of the 1980’s. The gull-wing doors and stainless steel exterior made it a unique curiosity for car enthusiasts. However, there was one big problem with the DMC-12, its small 6 cylinder engine put out a feeble 130 hp. But for one special DeLorean, a Buick Grand National Engine swap created, what was referred to as, the world’s fastest DeLorean. The turbocharged 4.3 liter v6 was tuned to 570 horsepower.
