Design: The rotational motion produced by the motor is transformed into linear motion through the use of a standard 1/2″-13 threaded rod as a lead screw. To account for angular misalignments in the rod the motor is not attached to it directly, but rather through a belt and pulley system. The ball bearing screen door […]
In this project I take an Arduino Mini Pro connect it to a custom made Etch A Sketch panel and use it to control a Blacknose laser cutter. The result is hours of crazy laser cutting fun, which we will be taking round most of the UK Maker Faires this year for JustAddSharks.co.uk The Etch […]
Age Group: 13 – 18 My experimental rover that I built from a Roll-A-Way alarm clock that was on clearance for $5. It can be controlled via the numeric section of a keyboard when the serial port is connected to a computer or a Wii Nunchuck attached directly to it, using either the joystick portion, […]
¿What questions need to be resolved? ¿How to recognize the origin of the table? — The table is the piece of the machine where you place your board, and is critical for the pick and place operation. I’ve thinking in a limit switch system. Will be the use of the “tglue layer” of the Eagle […]
The Arduino is a pocket-sized computer (also called a “microcontroller“) that you can program and use to control circuits. It interacts with the outside word through sensors, leds, motors, speakers… even the internet; this makes it a flexible platform for lots of creative projects. Some popular uses include: – programmable light displays that respond to […]
DESIGN OF A SMALL SCALE SMART HOME SYSTEM Gabriel Johnson and Chance Kelsoe INTRODUCTION Design of a smart home system with a LabView/Arduino interface In this project we made use of an Arduino Duemilanove and LabView to design an easy to use graphical interface to represent a control environment that every home owner could use. HIGH […]
Ever come home in the rain to find the door locked and your keys elsewhere? No? Lucky you then! For those who have had such an experience or never wish to, this project will let you open your garage door with nay but a smartphone/tablet/laptop/WiFi-thing and your super secret password! After all, who leaves their […]
Hello again. Today I’d like to show you the Auduino. That’s right, the Auduino is a Lo-fi Granular Synth that works on arduino. It uses some analog pins and a digital pin. I had loads of fun making and playing with it so I’d love to show you how to make it. Sketch created by […]
We built a pseudo Etch-A-Sketch emulator that modifies its appearance based on the user’s environment – the temperature and light conditions. Instead of only drawing horizontal and vertical lines, we can draw curved lines by changing the slope of the current line to be drawn. We use two potentiometers to serve as the knobs of […]
In this critical making project, we will be making a personal iDial, which will give you, the wearer, the ability to reflect on your personal identity in a private space, and then spatially and temporally dislocate your ‘private self’ into public conversation! You might be thinking, ‘this device looks ridiculous’. Well, that’s the point. This […]
