This splendid steampunk device ensures the perfect cuppa tea every time, by removing the teabag at just the right moment.
Finger Bend is a DIY textile flex sensor
You can turn on an LED with a button or switch, but what about by bending your finger? Willpower Studios’ textile flex sensor, dubbed Finger Bend, presents a method for such an interface. Inside the custom sleeve is a piece of piezoresistive stretch fabric, which is attached by copper threads to an Arduino Nano’s analog […]

This auto-adjusting PVC system lifts hand sanitizer to the perfect height
You’ve probably seen hand sanitizer stations popping up all over the place. While this seems to be a good thing, if you’re not exactly average height-wise, it’s likely they weren’t exactly designed for you. As a way to help both tall and short, and especially kids whose height varies considerably, Jegatheesan Soundarapandian has come up with […]
LOPES helps prioritize your tasks with LEDs
As spotted on Reddit, the Light Based Optical Productivity Enhancement System (LOPES) is an Arduino Nano Every-powered device that lights up depending on the tasks that you have left to complete. The Nano takes input from five copper touch sensor plates on the top, which enable you to add or remove jobs of different priorities. […]

Eyecam is a creepy webcam shaped like a human eye
How much of what you did today has been monitored and recorded? If you don’t know, or haven’t considered it, then this anthropomorphic webcam by researchers at Saarland University in Germany might just start up that mental conversation. That’s because their Eyecam is always watching. The device looks like an incredibly realistic eyeball, complete with […]
DehneEVSE is a custom, Nano 33 IoT-controlled EV charging station
Sebastian Dehne decided to create a custom electric vehicle (EV) charging station for his Nissan Leaf from scratch, as what he calls “a real full stack project.” He notes that designing your own gives you total control over the system, and it’s both fun and cheaper than purchasing a ready-made device. The aptly named DehneEVSE is built […]

An Arduino ECG device with an integrated display
As Peter Balch explains, COVID-19 can sometimes give rise to cardiac complications. So, while not presented as an actual piece of medical equipment, he decided to construct an ECG (electrocardiogram) unit using an Arduino Nano for control along with an integrated 320×240 SPI display. His battery-operated device features an AD8232 heart rate monitor module to […]
Camera assistant takes shots of your workbench from above
“Have you ever wished you had an extra pair of hands in the workshop to handle the camera, while you were concentrating on your project?” KronBjron has, which led them to create an automated overhead camera assistant to help document instructional videos. The device hangs a camera overhead and uses a trio of stepper motors to […]
