### AI overview

This article describes a DIY handheld thermal camera built with an Arduino UNO R4 Minima, a Seeed Studio MLX90640 thermal imaging sensor, and a DFRobot touchscreen. The board reads the sensor's 32x24 infrared data over I2C, processes it into an image, and displays it through a user interface in a 3D-printed enclosure.

### Source excerpt

Thermal cameras are really cool, because they give you the ability to clearly see something we humans usually can't: temperature. It is interesting to look at the world through that lens. Thermal cameras are also very useful when working with anything that involves heat, such as for spotting a leak in an HVAC system or [...] The post Building a DIY handheld thermal camera for work and play appeared first on Arduino Blog.

### AI overview

PineStore released a complete 3D model of the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro, including buttons and internal and external frames. The release may support self-repair and custom 3D-printed parts. The article also says a successor is not currently planned, though that decision could change.

### Source excerpt

Table of contents Full PinePhone 3D Files Released PinePhone2? JFs 3D Printed Back Cover Do you have something to share? Contact Community PineStore Full PinePhone 3D Files Released This week PineStore has released the full 3D file for the PinePhone/PinePhone Pro. This is different than the file only containing the back cover, which does not include the buttons or the internal and external frame. This opens up the possibility of self repairing some PinePhone components using 3D printers along with creating custom parts. This may be considered as a final hurrah for this generation of the PinePhone from PineStore. Though this does not however mark the end of the devices themselves. They are still going, still supported by many mobile Linux projects and still one of the most open mobile Linux hardware platforms you can find. Let's keep them going for many years to come! The 3D file can be found on the PineStore server and the "PinePhone board information, schematics and certifications" section of the wiki. https://files.pine64.org/doc/PinePhone/PinePhone_and_Pro_case_asm.stp (direct link) https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone PinePhone2? This has been said previously in another blog post but many continue to inquire about a successor to the first PinePhone line. It is not off the cards, but the straight answer is not right now. The founder of PineStore has discussed how the PinePhone was always meant as a development platform to help bring the at the time stagnant mobile Linux space up. He thinks that they have done their job as the focus has moved on to porting Linux to Android phones that are much cheaper and have more performance. It would be a big financial risk, where PineStore would lose a lot of money developing the device and with the current market there, is no SOC that currently fits the solution. But coming back to the beginning, this does not mean "no". But when the time is right, this decision may change. JFs 3D Printed Back Cover Community member JF has

### AI overview

A developer describes building Kakashi, a robot that imitates hand movements using an Arduino UNO, LED display, pan-and-tilt brackets, and four servo motors. The article explains the hand-tracking algorithm, including scale-invariant coordinate mapping and conversion to motor angles.

### Source excerpt

In this post, I want to share about "Kakashi: The Copycat Robot"--a fun side project I built a few years ago. The name is inspired by the famous character from Naruto, Kakashi Hatake, also known as the Copycat Ninja. The goal of this robot was to mimic Kakashi's ability to copy movements--though, of course, in a more limited way. Check it out for yourself! Here are the things I used to build this: Aurdino UNO board. Max7219 8x8 LED 3D printed Pan and Tilt brackets (2x) 4 servo motors Bread board and jumper wires. I will go through it in following sections: The Sharinghan Pan and Tilt motion Controller - Serial bus Tracking algorithm The Sharinghan Of course, our Kakashi needs a Sharingan! For those unfamiliar, the Sharingan is the special eye that grants Kakashi his copycat abilities in Naruto. For this, I used a Max7219 8x8 LED. It has 5 pins which I connected as follows: VCC - connect to 5V GND - connect to ground DIN - data in ports.h CS - chip select ports.h CLK - clock ports.h Then I found a led editor which I used to create a hex mapping of the sharinghan in different angles and wrote this code that loops around it. Aurdino: https://github.com/alseambusher/kakashi/blob/new_algo/src/led.h Client: https://github.com/alseambusher/kakashi/blob/new_algo/client/led.py Pan and Tilt Pan and tilt are the two motions using which you can basically cover any movement when used in combination. I used two of these to mimic arm movements. Each one is made up of a pan and tilt bracket, which you can either 3D print or purchase pre-made from Amazon. I attached two servo motors to each bracket. I won't go into assembly details, as there are plenty of great tutorials available on how to put one together. Each servo motor has 3 pins - 5V power, ground and control. I connected the four control cables to the following ports: I wrote a simple class to control the 4 servo motors and map it into pan and tilt actions. Controller - Serial Bus The serial bus acts as a communication channel

### AI overview

A personal project documents mounting a Raspberry Pi camera directly on an AxiDraw plotter using a 3D-printed mount. The author describes assembling and modifying the mount, adjusting the camera lens for close-up video, and recording the resulting footage.

### Source excerpt

It has been almost two months since my last post because I was super busy with my new passion, generative artFor now, you can see my work on my Instagram profile. Expect new posts about my process and tools in the near future.. I also got my hands on the brilliant little machine by Evil Mad Scientist, AxiDraw plotter, and it is the best purchase I made in a long time. I love everything about it - how it is engineered, images I can produce using it and their support. Then I saw this video and was blown away by the idea of recording a plotter from this perspective. When I asked the author how he does it, he pointed me to the tutorial he selflessly created. To film these wonderful videos, he made a mount for Raspberry Pi camera he can put directly on the plotter. I had a Raspberry lying somewhere in the flat, so I immediately ordered a camera and a 3d printed mount. Because of the COVID situation and the curfew it took a week for these to arrive, making me impatient. It didn't take me long to assemble this, but I did break oneLuckily I ordered two. 3d printed mount when I was drilling holes in it. I didn't have any M2 screws, so improvised with the plastic spacers and connected everything together using thin steel wire. It is not the prettiest thing I've built, but it is functional! Here you can see how much I missed when I was drilling the holes: Camera has a fixed focal length, and to get a sharp close up video, I had to adjust it by unscrewing the lens a little bit. My local Raspberry Pi supplier added this tiny tool with the camera, and it made adjusting super easy. Shorty after I was able to record the first video using the little contraption I created: White pen drawing stars on the black paper, the first video I recorded using the mount Mesmerizing isn't it? I love the reflection on the pen. More images to show how it looks mounted on the plotter: This was a fun little project, and I hope you like the video. I can't wait to record longer ones. And of course, big

### Source excerpt

Hi everyone, At the beginning of November, a fun project posted on hackster.io put us in the mood to take Halloween seriously! "Doris, the Evil Bowler Hat with ESP32 Matrix Voice" was created by Samreen Islam, Alfred Gonzalez and Carlos Chacin. They used an Open embeddeD Audition System (ODAS) and customized code to move a servo motor in the direction of the most concentrated incoming sound around a 180-degree radius.
