One of the many advancements brought about by 3D printing ... An Arduino takes the output from the magnetometer, does the necessary calculation, and interfaces to a PC as a joystick.

We have seen quite a few DIY joystick designs that use Hall effect sensors, but [Akaki Kuumeri]’s controller designs (YouTube video, embedded below) really make the most of 3D printing to avoid ...

Hardware component basis is very minimal for this experiment so most of DIY electronics hobbyists even with limited experience could enjoy it and build a useful joystick by themselves. The main brain ...

If you have a few hours spare this weekend and fancy creating your very own Arduino powered Star Wars BB-8 robot, a new project by YouTube user video game designer and software engineer JR Bédard ...

Arduino already has a niche within the maker and hackerspace community for its microcontrollers, which is an overlapping user base with 3D printing. The official presentation of the Materia will ...

This number sends a pulse to the Arduino, which in turn tells the servos how far to move. A joystick typically has have pins: VRx (the x-axis signal), VRy (the y-axis signal), SW (a pushbutton we ...

It's a solution that's only become possible with the converge of 3D printing, the massive popularity of microcontrollers like the Arduino Due, and falling prices for robotics components.

Instead of tearing up their pilot’s license, Akaki Kuumeri’s solution to the problem was to design and 3D print ... controller joystick) but if you’re able to successfully print and use ...

The LittleArm robotic arm can be constructed using a little Arduino hardware together with a few 3D printed parts,. The robotic arm has been created by Slant Robotics as a kit which you can now ...

But if you want to really feel like you own that virtual aircraft, you might want to take a look at this guy’s invention: a flexible, 3D-printed joystick that makes a realistic flight stick out ...
