Model trains have been a staple of DIY hobbiysts for generations, and while wireless control options can be purchased, KushagraK7’s hack lets you use your phone instead. The setup consists of an Arduino Uno, along with a motor driver shield to vary the trains’s peed and direction, as well as flip turnouts to allow for different […]
Last June, Timo Birnschein bought a Qu4tro electric skateboard with hopes of using it for fun and commuting duties. Unfortunately, while the skateboard itself worked well, the remote had many shortcomings. Since replacing the skateboard’s controls entirely was out of reach, he instead settled on the “small” job of reverse engineering and swapping out the […]
If you like electronic music, you’ve certainly admired Daft Punk’s glowing electronic helmets. While the originals are amazing, as shown in this Electronoobs tutorial, you can now make a very good replica for around $20 and 30 hours of print time. Print files for the helmet itself are based on this Thomas Bangalter build by […]
Maker “DJ’s Fantasi” is the technical director at his local high school’s theater arts program, and when the director of their winter production of Disney’s High School Musical requested a scoreboard prop, he excitedly set to work. The resulting build consists of four 7-segment displays, lit up by strips of non-programmable LEDs. Numbers on the […]
If you manage to get a small lathe in your home shop, it will likely come with a dial to adjust the speed, but it may not have a tachometer to tell you if it’s actually spinning at your desired setting. Rather than accept this imprecision on his model, hacker Tony Scarpelli designed his own […]
A heart rate monitor can be an important tool for tracking fitness and exertion levels, but what if you want something a bit more interesting style-wise? For a novel idea, be sure to check out the project shown below from “Taste The Code.” In it, he converted a handheld gyroscopic toy into something reminiscent of a […]
A sandbox game generally refers to an open world computer simulation, but Tim Callinan’s fall semester project takes things in a different direction—an actual sandbox controlled by an Arduino and gShield. Callinan’s Zen table is capable of producing complicated designs in the sand, using a single steel marble that appears to magically move across the […]
If you’ve ever wanted to plot shapes using an oscilloscope, YouTuber Electronoobs reveals the tricks in his latest video. In it, he draws a Christmas tree, along with a few other designs, and while that holiday is now past, there’s always 2019. Of course, you don’t have to wait, as these concepts can be applied […]
If you’d like an easy way to accomplish repetitive biological experiments, the OpenLH presents a great option for automating these tasks. The heart of the system is the Arduino Mega-controlled uArm Swift Pro robot, which is equipped with a custom end effector and syringe pump. This enables it to dispense liquids with an average error of […]
While you may not consider in detail how your coffee is roasted, those that produce it must pay special attention to make sure that the end product is consistent. Equipment to help analyze roasted coffee is normally quite expensive, but using a near-infrared sensor, Arduino Uno and Bluetooth module, Spencer Corry was able to make […]
