Learn to Solder Kits: Spring into Circuits!
Spring is the perfect time to look around the world for inspiration and start seeing things in a new light.
Featured Project
In honor of Springtime, we wanted to share Ekaggrat Singh Kalsi's spring clock. Inspired by his picking up his daughters stray hair ties, his clock uses an array of clever mechanical cams connected to flexible springs to create and change each digit. Read more about his project on Hackaday.io!
Breadboard vs Perfboard
New ideas mean learning, prototyping and making mistakes. Ever have an idea for a project and wonder what the best way to get started connecting all the little components?
Check out our newest blogpost on building with breadboards vs soldering the components together using perfboard: Breadboard vs Perfboard: The Pros and Cons of Each Platform.
The Joys of Robotic Insects
Drawing inspiration from nature, this biomechanical insect robot from Harvard roboticists (RoboBee), just learned to land upright using new improved landing gear based on crane flies.
