Supplies The parts list for this build is quite lengthy, but a lot of these components you may having lying around if you do have an old 3D printer. The 3D printer I’ve used to print some of the plastic components and housings is a Creality Ender 3 Pro. Links from Amazon (Affiliate) 2040 Aluminium Extrusion […]

My Arduino Ping Display Robot
Goals Hello all. I hope to please share a little robot that I have just finished building. There are many Ping Boat, perhaps with a tutorials and display less so without pretension, will illustrate what I could do. I gave myself the goal of realizing a robot that avoids obstacles, hence the use of Ping, […]
A Gentle Introduction to Arduino for Scratch Users
There are lots of people who are very comfortable with the Scratch programming environment but want to try something with Arduino to Blink Lights, Sense Buttons, Run Servos or whatever. They may find the C programming environment in Arduino IDE – Sketch, a bit too much of a step. This instructable draws on the work […]
Easy Zoom Quit Button
This Zoom emergency quit button lets you exit out of your meeting in an instant. It is simple to make and requires very little electronics experience. I built this because I was always searching around for the quit button on the bottom of the screen and seemed to always be that last person to leave […]
How to Build Your Own DigiDice | Electronic LED Dice
Here is an Instructable on how to build a digital dice that uses LEDs as well as an Arduino Nano to generate random numbers and display them in vibrant colours. The housing is fully 3D printed and some circuits have to be custom made. To use the dice, a button is simply pressed and after […]
Visual Network Threat Level Indicator v2 using Arduino
By popular request this is a new wireless version of the Visual Network Threat Level Indicator. This uses a Roving Networks WiFly RN-XV Module to do 802.11 WiFi along with an Arduino to display the threat level on your network. Network monitoring is very important in todays world. The internet is a scary place. People have taken […]
Create a Choice-based Text Adventure Game With Tinkercad Circuits
One of my fondest childhood memories is visiting my grandparent’s house and reading my uncle’s old collection of “Choose Your Own Adventure” books. While I always got stuck playing text-based computer adventure games with finnicky commands, I was hooked to the simplicity and variety of CYOA books (albeit the abundance of dramatic bad endings was […]
A cardboard televisor (with arduino and LEDs)
Recently I saw a documentary about the history of the television. And to my surprise they showed that there existed a mechanical television before the well known CRT televisions. Those mechanical televisions or televisors were pretty smart and simple. A CRT is simply an electron beam that scans a surface covered with a luminescent phosphor line by […]
Disney Magic Band Scanner
This is a Magic Band Scanner. It is inspired by the Magic Band Scanners that can be found at Walt Disney World. It is used at the entrances to all the parks and rides with the FastPass system. I designed and built this as a present for my parents. They are huge Disney fans and […]
Arduino Target Practice
A quick demo video for your pleasure. This is an instructable for a target practice system for airsoft and nerf weapons. The system has been designed to test a shooter’s reaction times and accuracy. Sam and I have been meaning to do this project for a while, and when the microcontroller competition opened, coinciding nicely with […]
