MAGIC RADIO PART 1

This is a new three-part upcycling project for all vintage technology lovers who also love making music. I have planned this upcycling project to encourage readers to try a project that is easy to replicate and can be modified for similar devices.

This Radio Magic project is not very complex but it covers several different topics, from mechanical implementation to the creation of an analogue synthesizer based on the popular NE555 timer integrated circuit (IC). Over the next few issues we also see how it is possible to integrate physical computing — using some Arduino boards — with a simple internet of things (IoT) application controlling the device from the web.

I have

The Stuff Of Legends
Who would have thought that a car designed and created in 1922 would still be inspiring young achievers to replicate it more than 100 years later. Astonishing, don’t you think? After WWI, Herbert Austin was in awe of the success of the USA’s Ford Mot

Introduction To Arduino Uno R4 (playing Chess) – Part 2
In this second instalment, we will see how we achieved the same consistent result playing chess with Arduino UNO R4 Minima, the cheaper version of the new Arduino board, without the LED matrix display and the ESP32 S3 on the board. While Enrico was d
