Reading Time: 2 minutesThis sensor-based tic-tac-toe game looks like some touchless fun! Arduino Team — January 6th, 2021 Tic-tac-toe is normally played with a pen and paper, or perhaps with a physical marker, but maker “techiesms” has put a new spin on this classic pastime. His build, as seen here, takes the form of a wooden box that mounts […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesGet the time from GETULA, a modular chain link clock Arduino Team — January 5th, 2021 After observing a bicycle chain lying on the street in a random pattern, Ekaggrat Singh Kalsi was inspired to make a morphing clock that bends chains to tell time. The clock, known as “GETULA,” consists of four independent modules that […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesIf you don’t enjoy sorting LEGO, you will be pleased to know that students at Bruface – or the Brussels Faculty of Engineering in Belgium – are working on an automated machine to do it for you! The team’s prototype device detects brick colors on a conveyor belt and picks them up via a gantry-style […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesAutomating an electric standing desk with Arduino Arduino Team — December 29th, 2020 IKEA sells – among many, many other items – a motorized sit/stand desk called the BEKANT. Although it seems like a nice item, creator “Hardware Unknown” found having to hold a button down the entire time that it goes from one position […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteUnused blackboard becomes vertical plotter Arduino Team — December 29th, 2020 Vertical pen plotters, which work by suspending a drawing device between two variable lengths of cable, can be a lot of fun. When his kids stopped using a 780x1200mm blackboard, ‘tuenhidiy’ had the perfect surface on which to create his own! The project uses a […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe RoboTrombo is a MIDI-controlled robotic trombone Arduino Team — December 29th, 2020 Inspired by Wintergatan’s Martin Molin, iSax set out to create a MIDi-controlled robotic trombone of his own. Although the aptly named RoboTrombo may not replace professional trombone players anytime soon, it’s nonetheless an impressive musical hack. The instrument is controlled by an Arduino […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis DIY current sensor measures up to 15A and displays it on an OLED screen Arduino Team — December 28th, 2020 When working with electronics, voltage is fairly easy to measure, but current often takes a bit more finesse. For this purpose, Utsav Shah decided to create his own current sensor capable of handling up […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino control system puts defunct washing machine back into operation Arduino Team — December 28th, 2020 After three short years of use, Roni Bandini’s Samsung washing machine started to act erratically, and several technicians looked at it without really fixing the problem. Bandini then decided to take matters into his own hands and replaced its brains with […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesOver-the-air (or OTA) programming is a very useful feature in all those cases where your devices are located in places that are not easily accessible. For example, you built a weather station using the Oplá IoT Kit, installed it on your rooftop, and started monitoring the weather from an IoT Cloud dashboard. That’s great until […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis machine stacks dominoes automatically Arduino Team — December 26th, 2020 Arranging dominoes in such a way that they knock each other down in sequence can be a fun pastime, but what if you would like a machine to take care of lining them up for you? As seen in the video below, Lewis of […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteMesmerize your holiday guests with these motor-driven rheoscopic fluid ornaments Arduino Team — December 23rd, 2020 We’ve all see Christmas ornaments shaped like a ball – interesting, but a bit passive. Will Donaldson, however, has created an amazing enhancement for these “orbaments,” adding a rheoscopic fluid inside that shows turbulent swirling patterns as it moves. […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesMaking a mini 360° LiDAR for $40 Arduino Team — December 21st, 2020 LiDAR (or “light detection and ranging”) sensors are all the rage these days, from their potential uses in autonomous vehicles, to their implementation on the iPhone 12. As cool as they are, these (traditionally) spinning sensors tend to be quite expensive, well […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesUse an Arduino and a pair of stepper motors to automatically wind pickups Arduino Team — December 18th, 2020 Electric guitars use pickups to sense string vibrations and make music. While a wide variety are available for purchase, what if you would like to make your own custom device for audio experimentation? In the video […]
