Super Mario Odyssey has been reimagined as an NES game to see what it would have looked like 30 years ago. And the best part? It’s free to download right now.
TeddyRoseKidd, a Twitch streamer and YouTuber has uploaded a video to his channel where he showcases exactly how he reimagined Super Mario Odyssey as a 2D NES game.
If you have to drill a certain depth for a project, you need a bench drill with depth display. Most bench drills have a ruler with an arrow for reading. The success of the drilling depends on how accurately you can read the desired position. In this Arduino project I present an alternative proposal: A drilling depth display with a gyro sensor and 7-segment display with Arduino support.
The machine I use most frequently in my workshop is not a saw or a grinding machine. It is by far the bench drill. Regardless of the project, it is actually always used. If I need a certain drilling depth, I can use the built-in ruler on the machine. And remember the depth to which I have to drill. It actually works well.
Most of us have some experience with RC vehicles — at least the cheap toy variety. But those are just the start of what is available and the RC hobby is full of really impressive vehicles that put those toys to shame. Some are meant for speed and can outrun your Honda Civic. But others are designed to replicate their full-size counterparts as faithfully as possible. For example, it isn’t uncommon to see RC airplanes with accurate interiors. Redditor EnosCamare wanted to try their hand at a replica and built this adorable 3D-printed dump truck that is remotely controlled with an Arduino.
Russian computer scientist named Ildar Rakhmatulin produced a mosquito laser using Raspberry Pi and laser. An expert working on brain-computer interfaces at Russia’s South Ural State University claims that with his invention, he neutralized two mosquitoes per second.
” Raspberry Pi to kill mosquitoes laser ” online as a non-peer reviewed preprint in January. In it, he lays out a plan to snipe mosquitoes out of the air using a Raspberry Pi equipped with a Pi camera, a galvanometer that detects electrical currents, and a commercially-available laser pointer that’s 450 nanometers and one wavelength—powerful enough to kill a mosquito and blind someone looking directly at it, but not enough to burn skin.
It’s a Walkie-Talkie based around the ESP32. It transmits audio using either UDP Broadcast or ESP-NOW.
Researchers from University of Pennsylvania have developed a robot that feeds on metal and can navigate autonomously without a brain.
The single most important resource in the future will, without a doubt, be energy. Humanity’s energy needs have increased dramatically over the past couple of centuries and that trend will absolutely continue. We’re already experiencing an energy supply problem, as evidenced by our continuing reliance on nonrenewable fossil fuels. Energy storage is also becoming more of an issue as we attempt to move away from those fossil fuels. An electric car, for example, needs a heavy battery. More storage capacity equals more weight, which requires more energy to move — a catch-22. That problem extends to robots, which is why a team of researchers have developed a robot that feeds on metal and can navigate autonomously without a brain.
Retro Studios’ GameCube classic,Metroid Prime, is getting a fan-made 2D remake called Prime 2D. The effort, which has been going since 2004 and called Prime 2D, is being led by a group called Team SCU. While screenshots of the game went up as part of an April Fools’ Day joke, the demo is in fact real, according a forum post by the creators.
The remake is the result of many years of love. In 2017, the team behind Metroid Prime 2D shared, “While public progress has appeared stagnant for the last 5 years, there has actually been a tremendous amount of foundational work being done in private.” Now, those following finally get to see just what the team has been up to.
Today’s project is to output the image sent from ESP32CAM on TTGO’s display.
You don’t need a wireless network router here. Because TTGO becomes AP mode and ESP32CAM connects directly through WIFI.
Turbine cars never quite came to be, despite many experiments in the 20th century. Despite their high power output for their size, they’re just not well suited to land transport applications; even the M1A1 tank has been much maligned for its turbine power plant. That didn’t stop [Warped Perception] for throwing a jet on the back of a kart though, and it looks like a whole lot of fun. (Video, embedded below.)
Early pioneers have for some time now been able to explore and prototype with CircuitPython for the Spresense microcontroller board. Now, we have just released a brand new getting started guide to help developers program Spresense with CircuitPython in a structured way.
