Have you built a macro keypad yet? This is one of those projects where the need can materialize after the build is complete, because these things are made of wishes and upsides. A totally customized, fun build that streamlines processes for both work and play? Yes please. The only downside is that you actually have […]

Give your grizzled and cramped hands a break from stuffing boards with surface mount components. This is the job of pick and place machine, and over the years these tools of the trade for Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) have gotten closer to reality for the home shop; with some models diving below the $10,000 […]

So this Lazy Old Geek (L.O.G.) hasn’t been able to do an Instructable for a few years. At 70 years old, the brain doesn’t work as well as it used to and it’s hard to focus on big projects let alone try to write about them. (I am entering Arduino Contest.) But with the help […]

The presentation scenario is this: The sun rises in the morning [One servo motor moves the sun]. Water evaporates from the sea [One […]

This car was made as a creative activity for students from Erazmus project. The Small Car celebrated big succes. So I’ve decided to share this small, unassuming and yet very educative project with community. It’s ideal to entertain students, for instance during public open day at schools. This project will help students master their 3D […]

In this project I will show you how to build a solar-powered Raft Bird Repeller that will get rid of those pesky birds that poop on your raft. Step 1: Intro If you have ever been on a raft, you know just how relaxing and fun they can be to hang out on. One thing […]
