For robots, being able to understand or navigate their environment is often critical to functioning properly. While there are plenty of sensors that allow robots to glimpse their surroundings, one category of sensors that is rapidly gaining popularity is light and laser-based (LiDAR) distance me…
Rarely has a technology attracted both enthusiasts, professionals and the general public as did the 3D Printing technology. It will most certainly take decades until we see machines printing a Hamburger or car manufacturers mass producing vehicles entirely in 3D printing as some have imagined. Neve…
One of the common questions parents will ask me is how did Beckwith Tech Camp get started? Like most people who suddenly appear, it takes years of practice and work to get to that point. I started literally in my basement, playing with Lego, wiring circuits together, and making matchbox cars throug…
With the release of very low cost 3D printers, consumers quickly realize that in order to create a custom plastic part, the model first needs to be created in 3D. While some 3D printer manufacturers include sample 3D models which are ready to print, the process of creating a custom design and ultim…
You might find yourself one day with an RC remote control with the auto-centering of a joystick enabled and wanting to enable or disable it. This is a very easy thing to change as you'll see here. To illustrate this post, we used a Spektrum DX E remote, but the concept can be applied to many (thoug…
