ROCK OUT WITH TOILET PAPER ROLLS
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
Singing in the shower is such a common phenomenon, rarely anyone ever bats an eye about it. Singing in the toilet on the other hand is probably going to raise an eyebrow or two, and it’s not for nothing that the Germans euphemistically call it “stilles Örtchen”, i.e. the little silent place. But who are […]
OPENSCAN 3D SCANS ALL OF THE (SMALL) THINGS
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
The OpenScan project has been updated quite a bit since its inception. OpenScan is an open source, Arduino or Raspberry Pi-based 3D scanner for small objects that uses 3D printed hardware and some common electronic components to create 3D scans using photogrammetry; a process by which a series of still images from different angles are used to […]

Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
In ridiculous times, it can help to play ridiculous instruments such as the slide whistle to keep your bristles in check. But since spittle is more than a little bit dangerous these days, it pays to come up with alternative ways to play away the days during lockdown life. Thanks to some clever Arduino-driven automation, [Gurpreet] […]
BCD TO I2C: TURNING A NIXIE COUNTER INTO WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
Whenever a project calls for displaying numbers, a 7-segment display is the classic and straightforward choice. However, if you’re more into a rustic, retro, almost mystical, and steampunky look and feel, it’s hard to beat the warm, orange glow of a Nixie tube. Once doomed as obsolete technology of yesteryear, they have since reclaimed their […]
Totally Lit – Programmable RGB LED Acrylic Sign
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
Been playing around with the laser cutter/engraver, and really fell in love with engraving in to clear acrylic and shining a light source from the edge. The thickness of the acrylic being used is a .25″ sheet, which cuts really cleanly by the laser cutter/engraver (the one that I had access to is the Trotec […]

Weather-station With Arduino, BME280 & Display for Seeing the Trend Within the Last 1-2 Days
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
Here on instructables weather stations have already been introduced. They show the current air pressure, temperature and humidity. What they lacked so far was a presentation of the course within the last 1-2 days. This process would have the advantage that you can not only graphically read the current values but also at a glance, […]
CloudyData – ESP8266 to Google Sheets Made Simple
