Arduino boards are used in a wide—massive even—variety of projects. Sometimes, however, all you need is something to give your project the ability to blink an LED, sound an alarm, or accomplish some other simple task. For this purpose, maker Jeremy S. Cook has developed a sort of standard method for using these devices, with […]
Arduino Day is quickly approaching and we are blown away by the amazing support of the Arduino community, with over 650 events in more than 100 countries scheduled for March 16th. As recently announced, the Official Arduino Day (register here) — directly organized by the Arduino team — will be held in Milan at the […]
Rubik’s Cubes seem to have been most popular in the 1980s, but never really went away. As such, if you have one lying around your house unsolved, why not ‘simply’ construct a machine to do this for you? One possibility is the Q-Bot, outlined here. While it won’t break any world records, it’s a solid-looking […]
If you’ve ever considered constructing your own wireless RC transmitter, be sure to check out this build by Electronoobs. The device uses an nRF24L01+ module to transmit inputs from a pair of joysticks and toggle switches, along with an Arduino Nano for interface and control. What sets this project apart from his previous versions, however, […]
When your car door isn’t shut quite correctly, you’ll normally look down at the control panel to see what the problem is. What if, instead of indicator lights or a low-res door ajar display, you had a tiny actuated version of your vehicle on your dashboard? Mathis Ochsenmeier’s Analogous Door Display is exactly that. It […]
While you may or may not want a gigantic backlit skull haunting the wall of your workshop, this was perfect for Jay and Jamie of the “Wicked Makers” YouTube channel. Their device is cut out of two 30” squares of plywood with a CNC router. This forms a base layer that holds everything off the […]
While you might see a CRT by the side of the street and think noting of it, Ryan Mason has come up with a novel use for five of them in a row called the Cathode MK1. This set uses the Unity game engine along with an Arduino board to spread games across five tube […]
Retired maker “lingb” created an omni-bot, with four wheels that allow sliding motion in the X/Y plane courtesy of their perpendicular rollers. While that alone would have been a fun build, he also attached a pen, along with a servo-based lifting mechanism, turning this robot into a free-range plotter! The device is controlled by an […]
As hardware hackers, we’re always on the lookout for discarded components that can be re-purposed into something even more awesome. One such class of component that you may find is the controllerless graphics LCD modules, which can be found on old copiers, tape libraries, and the like. This project by Ivan Kostoski shows how to […]
Remote control cars are interesting, but as Leon van den Beukel shows in the video below, an RC forklift can be even more challenging and fun to create. His project was constructed using a variety of hand and automated techniques, resulting in a build that can easily manipulate tiny pallets. Forks are lifted into the […]
