It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Retro Arcade Remakes, the creators of the Taito Ice Cold Beer Remake that has been on the market for a while now. Last year, they unveiled that they were working with Slackerz Inc. (the creators of Galactic Battleground) to create a new arcade sequel to the 1983 Atari game Food Fight, and now, that game is available for interested operators to purchase. Let’s dive in a little more.
INSTAGRAM I FACEBOOK I WEBSITE I YOUTUBE Ten years ago, Maker Faire Cairo lit a spark in the heart of downtown—a bold introduction to a region ready to build, hack, craft, and dream. In 2025, that spark became something more: a platform. A two-day celebration that rewired how a maker event could feel, flow, and connect. With a reimagined format, deeply local roots, and global voices on the ground, Maker Faire Cairo’s 10th edition wasn’t...
Air Week: June 9-15, 2025
Arduino Team — June 7th, 2025 If you like to listen to those “deep focus” soundtracks that are all ambient and relaxing, then you’ve heard a tongue drum in action. A tongue drum, or tank drum, is a unique percussion instrument traditionally made from an empty propane cylinder — though purpose-built models are now common. Several tongues are cut into one end cap and weighted to produce specific notes when struck. As with all instruments, playing...
Arduino Team — June 6th, 2025 Drone flight controllers do so much more than simply receive signals and tell the drone which way to move. They’re responsible for constantly tweaking the motor speeds in order to maintain stable flight, even with shifting winds and other unpredictable factors. For that reason, most flight controllers are purpose-built for the job. But element14’s Milos Rasic was building his own drone from scratch and found that the Arduino Nicla...
The Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) runs a free program that allows creators to certify that their hardware complies with the community definition of open source hardware. Whenever you see the certification logo, you know that the certified hardware meets this standard. Currently the Certification database lists over 3029 individual certifications! In May we added 18 new certifications, from prosthetics to mist makers, and we were happy to have new and recurring names show up!...
After months of teasing, the wait is finally over, as Jersey Jack Pinball has launched their latest game to the market, Harry Potter. Based more upon the movies, players become a student at Hogwarts to replay the events of the famous original stories. Let’s see what this game is all about.

Manufacturer: Neoden Price: $9,497 as tested; $3,999 for YY1 Pick & Place alone Our makerspace just became a surface-mount technology (SMT) printed circuit board (PCB) factory overnight. We’ve watched 3D printers, CNC machines, and laser cutters become cheaper, smaller, and easier in our magazine’s twenty years, and now this revolution has reached PCBA (printed circuit board assembly). While services such as PCBWay have made...
Arduino Team — June 4th, 2025 One of the best features you’ll find on a fancy luxury car is seat position memory. Typically, there are at least two profiles that “save” the position of the seat. When switching drivers, the new seat occupant can simply push the button for their profile and the seat will automatically move to their saved position. Tired of adjusting it manually, Andy of Yeah Nah DIY implemented a similar memory function...

Make: even has its own mini fume extractor by Marc de Vinck (Volume 19) with a video by Kipkay, now there’s a throwback! Built into an Altoids tin and featuring a 40mm fan and a basic circuit, this little device was rough but...
