After an accident, Ethan Kadish was paralyzed. His friend, 14-year-old Jacob Smilg, came up with a simple device to help him communicate. Several years ago, Kadish was struck by lightning, and lost control over his body. Communication with the world took the form of eye blinks for “yes” and “no,” which gave Smilg an idea […]
In order to convince his kids to stay in bed just a little longer, Maker Ralph Crutzen has created a “wakeup light” using an Arduino Mega and an RGB LED strip. Those of us that have toddlers know that they can wake up very early. If you’d like to get some more sleep without leaving them […]
Imgur user “Bodaciousbus” set up his apartment window fans to only circulate air when not filled with smoke. Living in a communal area like an apartment or condo has its benefits, but there are several hassles to deal with as well. One in particular are neighbors who smoke right outside. If you’d like to leave a window open for ventilation, […]
We’ve already seen an Altoids tin enhanced with a laser for your cat’s entertainment, so why not a yogurt tub? If you’re looking for a way to keep your kitty busy, but would rather not actually have to get up and wave a laser around, this setup allows you to use the Blynk app to turn on […]
Using a rather large custom PCB, Hari Wiguna made a Sudoku board using discreet LED displays and a physical keypad. Most people, buy a book and play Sudoku with a pencil or perhaps just get an app. Those that are really dedicated buy a standalone game, but this wasn’t good enough for Wiguna, who made […]
Inspired by The Goonies movie and The Room game, Guido Bonelli has constructed a piece of Arduino-controlled interactive furniture to entertain his guests. After what appears to be a massive amount of work involving 3D printing, laser cutting, wiring, and programming, Bonelli has come up with a puzzle box that shouldn’t need any explanation. Using button presses and […]
With an accelerometer and capacitive sensing, even a beginner can produce some great tunes with this DIY device. If you like making beautiful music, but would rather not actually practice this skill, perhaps this thumb piano and controller by producer/DJ Rob Blazey would be a good instrument to pick up. His project, called “Kalimbo,” employs an Arduino […]
With Alain Mauer’s Arduino glasses and a Bluetooth® multimeter, electrical data is always in view! If you’re in a job where you have to take readings inside a live electrical panel, one thing that’s inconvenient, and even dangerous at times, is having to look away from your hands to read your multimeter. With hopes of […]
This robotic fish is made from bent PVC pipe and moves its tail for locomotion. If you’re going to build an underwater vehicle, propeller control is the conventional solution. Eric Dirgahayu, however, created his underwater creature in the form of a fish, complete with a tail that powers it through the water, and pectoral fins that could, […]
Gone are the days of fumbling with your keys! Adham Negm has come up with a way to open your door with a simple hand gesture while holding your smartphone. To accomplish this, Negm uses an Arduino Uno, a servo motor to move the bolt, and a 1Sheeld to interface with the smartphone. The 1Sheeld reads the device’s accelerometer data, and then activates the servo when it recognizes […]
