While Black Friday and Cyber Monday used to be a US-only event, it changed many years ago, and we’ve been writing about international Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals and coupon codes since 2014, since a large portion of our audience cannot benefit from promotions on Amazon’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday events that will take place from November 21 until December 2 this year. So I’ve gathered some international Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024 deals and discount coupon codes from relevant manufacturers and popular online stores such as Aliexpress, Banggood, and others. Aliexpress Black Friday and Cyber Monday event   Aliexpress’ Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024 event has already started. There are three periods: Nov 19-21 PST – Warm Up event where users can find and add items to the cart before purchasing during the main event. Nov 22-30 PST – “On Sale” event with discounts up [...]

Create Your Own Bot (CYOBot) v2 is an open-source, modular robotics platform for students, educators, hobbyists, and future engineers based on the ESP32-S3 microcontroller and featuring up to 16 servo motors for complex control. The CYOBot v2 is a follow-up to the previous quadrupedal robotic platform from the same company. It adds new features such as a modular design, an upgrade to the ESP32-S3 chip, more motor channels, and an expansion block with more peripherals. It also supports integrating AI systems, such as ChatGPT, for added functionality. The CYOBot supports up to three configurations via the CYOBrain — which powers the robotics platform and controls the servo motors — and separate 3D-printed components. The CYOBot Crawler is a four-legged robot powered by eight 180-degree servo motors. The CYOBot Wheeler form factor features four 360-degree motors linked to wheels at the end of each leg and is essentially a hybrid between [...]

As an innovator in 3D scanning technology, Revopoint has unveiled its latest product, the Revopoint MetroX 3D scanner. The Kickstarter campaign started on October 15th and will run until November 14th, offering MetroX at only $689 (MSRP $999) now. Four Scanning Modes MetroX is a versatile 3D scanner that combines blue laser and blue structured light technology. Its four scanning modes give users the right tools to optimally capture every aspect of small to medium objects, from flat areas to complex details. Cross Lines laser: Fourteen crossed lines rapidly scan larger surfaces at speeds of up to 800,000 points/second. No scanning spray is needed for glossy or black areas. Parallel Lines laser: Seven high-powered parallel blue laser lines are projected to accurately capture fine details, edges, and complex surfaces. Full-field structured light: Using blue structured light, it offers high-speed scanning at up to 7 million points/second for efficient point cloud [...]

Creality RaptorX is the world’s first wireless 3D scanner supporting 41 blue laser lines and NIR scanning. The high-end 3D scanner adds WiFi 6 connectivity compared to the earlier Creality CR-Scan Raptor 3D scanner along with much higher accuracy and other features. The new RaptorX 3D scanner features 41 blue laser lines (34 cross laser lines and 7 parallel laser lines) and infrared structure light (NIR). The 34 cross laser lines are used to scan large objects quickly, while the 7 parallel laser lines scan fine details with a resolution down to 0.02mm. The laser also implements a unique face & body algorithm to capture the human body scan more accurately and much faster (as quick as 2 minutes). The RaptorX is capable of scanning tiny objects fitting into a 5mm cube up to larger pieces within a 4000 x 4000 x 4000mm volume.  You’ll find other technical details in [...]
