Gadget Master

This could be an interesting one if you work with robotics, flagged by the Arduino team - a look at how to smooth the operation of a servo, to avoid jerking between positions.

One to note for Arduino command line users: a new version is out, with Arduino CLI 0.19.0 now available.

Thanks to Steve Bush, our technology editor, for highlighting this one. The Germany-based BARTH Elektronik have trained their BARTH lococube to be the programmable barista...

A random picture of lava lamps? Or a picture of random lava lamps? It's the lobby of Cloudflare, in California, and it helps the cloud services company generate random numbers for its operations. This is LavaRand....

Say hello to Oscar-Qube, its name is short for Optical Sensors based on CARbon materials: QUantum Belgium. And, using an extra-sensitive magnetometer, the Earth-mapping system is now in space.

Like London buses. You wait ages for a Gadget Book to come along and then two come together. After Living with Robots, check out this one - EW 105: Space Electronic Warfare.

This book sounds like a good, worthwhile read. It's from MIT Press and is called Living with Robots: What Every Anxious Human Needs to Know.

What a great project. Arduino, robotics, AI, moving chess pieces... It's enough to get my attention! The Gadget Master's work, one Josh Eckels, was highlighted on Twitter by the Arduino team.

Just a quick post to flag this Raspberry Pi-based News story, which could have been written for Gadget Master. It's about breaking a domino-setting record...

The Swarm Eval Kit is described as an out-of-the-box satellite communications kit allows you to build IoT sensors - for temperature, weather or asset tracking, say - that can relay their data through the Swarm Technologies network from anywhere on the planet.
