Dries Depoorter’s installation displays real-time sunsets and sunrises via unsecured CCTV cameras

Sunrises can be beautiful, not to mention sunsets, but seeing both at one time would seem to be an impossibility. Dries Depoorter, however, has developed an installation that displays the two events as they happen on side-by-side screens, using footage sourced via unsecured CCTV cameras. Depoorter’s “24h Sunrise/Sunset” project uses a pair of Raspberry Pi 3Bs to […]

DIY shadow box portrays seasons in luminescent style

Centas wanted a project for his new laser cutter, and decided to make this beautiful crafted tree shadow box. While the cutting is impressive enough by itself, to take this from “cool” to “ultimate,” he added 86 individually controllable LEDs and a bundle of fiber optic cable for lighting effects. These LEDs are powered by an […]

This air hockey robot never loses

Air hockey is normally a two-player affair, but not for this student-built robot. The table features a designated human goal with a touchscreen GUI for settings and control. The second goal is guarded by an autonomous striker, attached to a pair of steppers using a drive belt arrangement. The robotic device analyzes the puck position […]

This Arduino-powered spectrophotometer uses a little prism to create rainbows

Invented back in the 1940s, a spectrophotometer is a scientific instrument used to measure how different wavelengths of light are absorbed by a sample. Daniel Hingston decided to build his own spectrum analysis device as a fun Arduino experiment, outlined in the project write-up and in the video below. Inside the 3D-printed device, a servo-driven rotating […]

Arduino-controlled robot arm is ready to play you in a game of chess

If you’re tired of playing chess on a screen, then perhaps you could create a robotic opponent like Instructables user Michalsky. The augmented board runs micro-Max source code, enabling chess logic to be executed on an Arduino Mega with room for control functions for a 6DOF robotic arm. The setup uses magnetic pieces, allowing it to pick […]

Keep your pool under control with ARDUPOOL

Having a pool can be a great way to relax during the summer, but keeping the water crystal clear and safe to swim in can be a challenge. To help, engineer Diego Gomez has developed the Arduino Mega-powered ARDUPOOL, which is now crowdfunding on Kickstarter. This modular, open source device is capable of controlling up to […]

Bring two analog meters out of retirement to display temperature and humidity

Tom of Build Comics created a unique analog weather station that shows temperature and humidity on a pair of recycled gauges. An Arduino Nano reads the levels using a DHT22 sensor and outputs them in the proper format for each display. Both units have a new printed paper backing to indicate conditions, along with a trimmer […]

Chicken coop door automation with Arduino

When Geert Wanten’s wife got tired of opening up the chicken coop to let them out in the morning, he decided to automate the situation using an Arduino Nano. Wanten’s DIY system calculates the sunup/sundown via info from a DS1307 RTC module, pulling the door up with a gearmotor and a spool of fishing line. […]
