Hackster’s Handpicked Projects of the Week Apr 26, 2019

Did you know you could plug USB devices on an Arduino or ESP? Keyboard, mouse, game controller, MIDI controller, you name it!

Identify bananas and their ripeness based on structure and color, helping color-blind people buy the right bananas!

Build a solar charging “sun hat” to keep your batteries topped-up on sunny days!

The Cortex-M1 is ideal for implementations in low-cost FPGA Spartan 7 devices. Let’s look at an example project.

Olive is a home voice assistant you can actually look in the eye! Animatronic features allow her to have a real presence in your home!

A single Arduino Uno/Mega can carry up to 14 RS-232 boards. Each board is distinguished by ID, which is set via a DIP switch.

Use your Raspberry Pi to set up an open-source inventory management system written in PHP with a MySQL database.

Build and use a modular array of solid state relays!

Wunderpixel is an interactive gadget with a lot of functions to explore.

Useful for Raspberry Pi to show network, system or weather status. Video can be also streamed to this display.

An economic FM radio with WiFi connectivity incorporating cloud and IoT practices.

Maixduino was released to support Arduino development for Sipeed’s MAix dev boards. But it’s only for Linux and Windows, what about OSX?

One code goes in, another comes out… A different way of having a single remote without needing a universal one.

Use a Relay click and the PIC-IoT WG to control a fan, lamp, or any other wired device from the cloud.
