Arduino microcontrollers are a great way of automating model railroad layouts due to their low-cost availability, open-source hardware and software and a large community to help you. For model railroads, Arduino microcontrollers can prove to be a great resource for automating their layouts in a simple and cost-effective way. This project is such an example […]

Berry Racer – a Game Programmed in Arduino and Played on a Custom PCB
Berry Racer is a game that I came up with and programmed using Arduino’s Software. The game is run on a Teensy microcontroller which is connected through a custom PCB (Printed Circuit Board) to a Screen, a Joystick, four buttons, and a piezo speaker. The board can be powered through the micro USB port on […]
Playing Chess Against Arduino
This project has been developed with the “Games” contest in my mind, I hope you’ll like it and give your vote 🙂 The idea of this project is quite simple. I want to simulate as many board games as possible using a simple electronic assembly. Of course, every game with its own software, which must […]
DIY Low Cost Air Hockey Table
A professional air hockey setup is usually available only in arcades due to the sophisticated systems that are required to operate it. Our goal was to build a DIY air hockey table, bringing this gaming experience at home. By using commonly available materials we have succeeded in making a cost effective and easy to build […]
Upright Laser Harp
Laser harps are musical devices with laser beam “strings.” When the beam is blocked, a note is played by the instrument. Usually laser harps have the beams travel vertically in the shape of a fan or vertical lines. In this project, I built a laser harp with stacked laser beams that propagate horizontally. The beams […]
3D Printed Arduino RC Airboat With Controller
This is a project that combines the knowledge of 3D printing and Arduino. It is a good beginners project for anyone interested in making their own RC boat or just interested in using 3D printing and Arduino for their own creations. Supplies: Look at step 1 for Supplies Step 1: Supplies Electronic components needed for […]
Magic Button 4k: the 20USD BMPCC4k Wireless Remote Control
Many people have asked me to share some details about my wireless controller for the BMPCC4k. Most questions were about the bluetooth control, so I’ll mention a few details about that. I am assuming you are familiar with the ESP32 Arduino environment. This version of the remote can control the recording, focus and aperture of […]
Smart Power Strip With Cayenne Cloud
This instructable shows how you can build your own easy or simple DIY Internet-connected Smart Power Strip to control Electrical Appliances from remotely.You can also automate the daily repetitive task with scheduling feature, so the appliance will automatically be turned on and off on set timings. WARNING: This project includes work around HIGH VOLTAGE 230V […]
SteamPunk Radio
This project is without doubt the most complex I have undertaken, with sixteen IV-11 VFD tubes, two Arduino Mega cards, ten LED Neon light circuits, a servo, an electromagnet, two MAX6921AWI IC Chips, five DC power supplies, a HV power supply, two DC Volt meters, a DC Amp meter, FM stereo radio, 3W power amplifier, […]
FS-Touch Bed Levelling Tool
Tired of trying to get the perfect levelled 3D printer bed? Frustrated with guessimating the proper resistance between nozzle and paper? Well, FS-Touch will help you measure this pinching force quantitatively and achieve quick and accurate bed levelling in no time. Features of this bed levelling(proper term is tramming) tool: Works with all types of beds: metal, […]
