Cinque progetti da tenere d’occhio su Kickstarter
June 10th - via: makerfairerome.eu
I makers che puntano sull’open source non possono fare a meno di aprirsi anche verso il crowdfunding. Trasparenza, dichiarazioni di intenti e voglia di fare rete intorno ad un progetto sono gli stimoli che portano i fabbricatori digitali a rivolgersi a piattaforme come Kickstarter. Raccogliere i fondi necessari e trasformare le idee in oggetti concreti sono solo i primi passi di un lungo processo di making. Se volete seguire qualche storia interessante, date un’occhiata a questi cinque progetti. (Read More)

Thanks again for your support. We have been very busy the last two weeks. here is a quick summery of were we are in each area. About The Board:The new board layout is done. we changed the board dimensions to help with the Hexapod body from 3.25"x5.4"... (Read More)
BOT-LOGIC Hexapod
June 4th - via: dfrobot.com
Many hexapods can’t sense they’ve reached the edge of a surface without a lot of additional hardware expense and complexity and this kit solves the problem. BOT-LOGIC is an easy-to-assemble hexapod kit & controller that enables servos to also act as sensors to control the force applied as well as measuring force at set positions. Robots are thus enabled to sense surface edges and uneven servo load as well as measure and maintain gripper force. (Read More)

Two Arduino-based Kickstarter projects worth a look
May 20th - via: blog.arduino.cc
Some weeks ago I read an article on the New York Times talking about Kickstarter. The author was exploring the logic of the platform and especially in which way backers shouldn’t really be considered like investors. They aren’t because their main aim is not looking for the project that will give them the greatest return on their money. Here we are then, highlighting two Arduino-based projects because we are intrigued by them and hope you like them too. (Read More)
Bot-Logic Hexapod is Arduino-compatible and open source
May 17th - via: atmelcorporation.wordpress.com
A hexapod robot is a flexible, mechanical vehicle that navigates on six legs and is often used to try out various biological theories about locomotion, motor control and neuro-biology. Unfortunately, many basic hexapods can’t sense they’ve reached the edge of a surface without additional, costly hardware. Servos may also burn out when weight is unevenly distributed between legs, while the energy required for servo operation can overload the typical hexapod power supply, causing the host controller to reset or fail.
