Light Wheel by Oz Officine Zero

Faire: Rome

Maker: Oz Officine Zero S.c.a.r.l.

We have created Light Wheel, an open-source board that repurposes components from discarded scooters, reducing environmental impact. Our project is a prototype application of Light Wheel on a manual wheelchair for individuals with disabilities, suitable for tight spaces like corridors and elevators. Motorization is achieved using a Light Wheel platform, 36V brushless motors, and repurposed scooter battery packs. The wheelchair, controlled by a joystick, offers optimal functionality and safety, including speed control, anti-tipping measures, audible and visual alerts, and provision for anti-collision sensors. This prototype focuses on autonomous mobility for people with disabilities, providing a low-cost and environmentally friendly solution. Light Wheel exhibits great versatility for various applications.

Lidar a basso costo

Faire: Rome

Maker: Giorgio Liberini

This is a simple LiDAR with a TF-LUNA proximity sensor. The sensor accurately measures distances up to 5 meters using TOF technology and rotates thanks to a stepper motor. The NodeMCU coordinates calibration, rotation, and the collection of the point cloud, which is then processed by a computer. Initially, the project was intended for a different purpose and was commissioned by the recently deceased Professor Luigi Pagliarini, a pioneer in integrating robotics into art. All mechanical components were 3D printed.

The Electronic Jug Band

Faire: Rome

Maker: Rick MacDonald

An exhibit showing how to use the latest low cost microcontroller and sensor technologies to create DIY electronic music instruments. The design and building of such instruments is a hands-on learning experience in both maker electronics and music concepts. The idea is similar to the creation of a Jug Band in the mid 1900s where individuals used household materials to create their instruments and then played them together to make music. In this case however the use of modern electronics provides many more possibilities and a much larger scope for creativity.
