In this instructables I will show you how I made my own DIY laser engraver for very cheap. Also most of the parts are either salvaged from old things or are very cheap. This is a very interesting project for any electronics hobbyist. This engraver will be able to engrave wood, cardboard, vinyl stickers etc. […]

Arduino LifeClock
This unique clock reminds you to appreciate every single day, by displaying your current age in days (or weeks) on a seven segment display. Step 1: You Will Need Electronics: Arduino Pro Mini 5V (or any other arduino with >= 12 GPIO Pins) 4 Digit 7 Segment Display DS3231 Real Time Clock Module 4x 200 […]
Clock, Amplifier and a Little Amount of Wood…
The beginning of the project came from an idea, an inspiration from a video posted on the Internet on the YouTube channel “I like to do things” … Then came the need to make a stand for one of my monitors that housed a clock, a digital analog converter – DAC – integrated into an […]
Cup Anemometer Hardware Reference: Switch-Event Conditioning and Calibration Limits
A wind-sensor hardware guide: what switch events really represent, how to assess pulse conditioning, exposure and friction, and where calibration limits lie.
Motion Control Slider for Time Lapse Rail
This instructable explains how to motorize a time lapse rail using a step motor driven by an Arduino. We will mainly focus on the Motion Controller that drives the step motor assuming you already have a rail you want to motorize. For example when dismantling a machine I found two rails that I could convert into time […]
Motion Activated Automatic LED Stair Lighting With Arduino
I built this Arduino based automatic LED light controller for a set of poorly lit stairs in our new home. The stairs are quite dangerous – especially at night – but not any more thanks to the Motion Activated Automatic LED Stair Lighting with Arduino (a.k.a. “the stair butler”). By carefully positioning the LED’s and […]
VORONOI HEART LAMP
Hi makers, we are here again with a beautiful and stylish lamp Project. VORONOI HEART LAMP. In this project, we benefited from epoxy resin material and 3D printer. Step 1: What Is VORONOI ? In mathematics, a Voronoi diagram is a partitioning of a plane into regions based on distance to points in a specific […]
Arduino 101
To get started with Arduino, you’ll need some basics. In this tutorial, we’ll go beyond a little blinky light and teach you about: Variables Input and Output pins Sensors and reading data Mapping results Functions In another tutorial, I’ll cover classes and why we might use them. But, we might still make a little light […]
Dutch 8×8 Word Clock
I know that I am not the first to make a word clock, using an Arduino. Still it was always something on my ‘to do’ list to make a Dutch one. For a different project I’ve bought a ‘colorduino / rainbowduino / funduino’ a long time ago to test something. This gave me the inspiration […]
Catching Your Breath
We are nation of obsessive counters: of pulse, steps, followers and calories. Most of these numbers mean little as physiology cannot be reduced to these metrics. But we try and I wondered how do we count a breath? Remember the cinematic days before hospital demise a cold mirror was a crude indicator of expiring breath. […]
