Overview
Need a free hand to hold onto all those techy bits and pieces? Then the Braccio Bundle is perfect for you! With the Arduino Uno-controlled Braccio robotic arm, you can unlock the unlimited possibilities of robotics or simply use it to take the perfect selfie.
- 1 x TinkerKit Braccio Robot - Designed for versatility, the Braccio can be assembled in a multitude of ways to enable it to support various objects on the end of the arm. With the ability to hold items weighing up to 400g and a gripper width of 90mm, the Braccio robotic arm can grasp whatever you need either perfectly still or whilst rotating 180 degrees. Includes a Braccio shield to allow you to hook up the servos directly to your Arduino board.
- 1 x Arduino UNO - The Arduino Uno is the ideal board for getting started with electronics and coding. The most used and documented board in the world, you'll find lots of ideas in the Arduino Project Hub to see how you can 'Get to Grips' with your new Braccio robotic arm.

Control the speed of a 12 volt computer fan using a PWM duty cycle
The future envisioned in the original Star Trek included, among other things, a shipboard sickbay with electronic monitors strangely reminiscent of the machines that medical personnel use today. To recreate a functional mini-replica of these displays, YouTuber Xtronical turned to a 2.8” TFT screen, a breadboard, and an Arduino Nano—noting that an Uno would also work. The LCD display nails the look of Dr. McCoy's device, and heartbeat sound can be played along with an onscreen flashing “PULSE” circle. A MAX30100 pulse/oximeter sensor and a temperature sensor take body readings, while a second DS18B20 is implemented to read ambient conditions for increased accuracy. It’s a fun Trekkie project, and Xtronical plans to elaborate on how it was made in future videos. A build of a working original Star Trek display with real sampled heart beat sound. Uses various sensors to get the readings from your body (via just your fingers) and displays them in the style of the 60's sick bay screen. This bare "Bones" system could be built into a model unit or even a replica Tricorder.
