This is what came out of my attempt at combining some of my favorite tools and themes…Grasshopper, 3D printing, kinetic motion, and linguistics. I put these gloves on my friends, asked them to tell me a story, and used Grasshopper to record the data from their hand gestures. While these gloves are far from precise […]

Construction Mechanical structure Compressed air comes from air compressor and goes in the proportional valve. Coming out from the proportional valve, there are two branches of air flow (one is compressor air, the other one is exhausted air) which connect to the air cylinder (pneumatic actuator). The pneumatic actuator connects to a cart (the aluminum […]

This is a very easy project. Here is the result I won’t go into too much detail how each part works, because I have written some information on my blog. But you should be able to make it work with the information given on this instructable. Step 1: Prepare RGB LED strip The RGB LEDs […]

So there I was, browsing eBay, looking for some cheap deals on Atmel chips when i came across a pair of ATTiny13 chips for £2.50. I just had to have them! After all, how hard can it be? I needed a small chip to read servo signals from a hobby RC Receiver and control a […]

While standing in its position on the platform that keep a switch on. Once […]

In this one, servo is programmed to be controlled by two buttons, one turns servo to the left and the other one turns it to the right. When the servo is turning, corresponding LED will be switched on to indicate the operation. Result: Because Arduino has built-in library for controlling servo, which makes servo a […]

This simple device sits on your desk at work, ready to give you fist bumps throughout the day as you need them. A 3D printed “fist” is moved by a servo attached to a rack and pinion mechanism. An ultrasonic range finder detects when you place your hand near it, and an Arduino Uno controls […]

Overview ESP8266 is a highly integrated chip designed for the needs of a new connected world. It offers a complete and self-contained Wi-Fi networking solution, allowing it to either host the application or to offload all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.   ESP8266 has powerful on-board processing and storage capabilities that allow it […]

Esp8266 Introduction: This is WiFi serial transceiver module, based on ESP8266 SoC. ESP8266 module is a TTL “Serial to Wireless Internet” device. Providing your microcontroller has the ability to talk to a TTL serial device (most do) you’ll be in business. It is a highly integrated chip designed for the needs of a new connected world. It offers a […]

Hey Arduino fans! Here is an ‘ible for making a device that turns TVs on when you want them off, and off then you want them on! If you hide it in something inconspicuous, it would make a great April Fools joke or gag gift. And the best part is that the total parts cost […]
