There’s no project that dives into existential quandaries more than a useless machine, as they can truly illustrate the futility of existence by turning themselves off once they have been powered on. Typically this is done with a simple switch, but for something that can truly put the lights out, and then re-illuminate them, [James]’s […]

While we’re still far away from returning to a pre-Corona everyday life, people seem to have accepted that toilet paper will neither magically cease to exist, nor become our new global currency. But back at the height of its madness, like most of us, [Jelle Vermandere] found himself in front of empty shelves, and the […]

My previous Instructable covered the basics of detecting dart speed using an infrared emitter and detector. This project takes it a step further, using a printed circuit board, display, and batteries to make a portable ammo counter and chronograph. Additionally, we add some LEDs to simulate muzzle flash. Because, pew pew pew . . . […]

These are adverse times for rebellion. Although the Death Star has been destroyed, the Imperial troops are using free hardware and Arduino as a secret weapon. Moving Forward to our topic : Mastermind Star Wars With Arduino MEGA That is the advantage of free technologies, any person (either good or bad) can use them. In […]

In this post we will briefly discuss Fire-Extinguisher-Simulator: The simulator was created because I watched a company spend quite a bit on money on training users with live fire extinguishers. I noted that the training had to be held outside to dissipate the CO2 release (weather) and there was a good size cost to re-filling […]

In this post, we will discuss The-Party-Box-Basic-(Spin-Your-Disco-Ball-and-More): This is the quick, easy to throw together party accessory you didn’t know you needed. I’ve made it on 2 occasions for house parties when the urge strikes to make something. Luckily for you all, this time I kept it so I can show you how it’s done […]

Are you tired of playing the same, old, boring, 2-dimensional tic-tac-toe?? Well, we have the solution for you! Tic-tac-toe in 3-dimensions!!! For 2 players, in this 4x4x4 cube, get 4 LEDs in a row (in any direction) and you win! You make it. You play it. In this Article we will Briefly describe 3D4x Game: […]

VR has been developing rapidly over the past decade, but headsets and associated equipment remain expensive. Without a killer app, the technology has yet to become ubiquitous in homes around the world. Wanting to experiment without a huge investment, [jamesvdberg] whipped up a low-cost headset for under $100 USD. The build relies on Google-Cardboard-style optics, which […]

Many cars these days come with a basic Heads Up Display, or HUD. Typically, these display speed, though some also throw in a tachometer or navigational graphics too. Of course, if your car doesn’t have one of these stock, hacking in your own is always an option. [PowerBroker2] developed this HUD in a somewhat circuitous way, […]

Anyone who has ever wound a toroidal coil by hand can tell you that it’s not exactly a fun job. Even with the kinds of coils used in chokes and transformers for ham radio, which generally have relatively few windings, passing all that wire through the toroid time after time is a pain. And woe […]
