RC CAR BECOMES CABLE CAM
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
The prevalence of drones has made airborne photography much more widespread, especially among hobby photographers and videographers. However, drone photos aren’t without their problems. You have to deal with making the drone follow the shot which can be difficult unless you have a very expensive one. Worse, you can’t really fly a drone through heavily […]
TOUCH SCREEN REFLOW OVEN PULLS OUT ALL THE STOPS
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
We’ve seen plenty of simple reflow ovens, and there’s an excellent chance that some of the people reading these words have even thrown their own together. A minimal example isn’t much more than a old toaster oven, a Solid State Relay (SSR), a thermocouple, and a microcontroller to get them all talking. But if you’re […]
FOUR ON THE FLOOR FOR YOUR VIRTUAL RACE CAR
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
There was a time when building realistic simulations of vehicles was the stuff of NASA and big corporations. Today, many people have sophisticated virtual cockpits or race cars that they use with high-resolution screens or even virtual reality gear. If you think about it, a virtual car isn’t that hard to pull off. All you […]
Doggo Walking Light
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
Walking a dog in the dark comes with the safety risk of motorists who don’t see you walking, we’ve had a few close shaves with drivers turning quickly into or backing out of driveways or when crossing road intersections. So why not illuminate your favorite Doggo with a rainbow of colors to get motorists attention […]
Arduino Slot Machine
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
This project is my implementation of an alien themed slot machine using two ATmega328P-PU micro-controllers. The slot machine is for entertainment and educational purposes only. I tried my best to make the game simulate a real slot machine as closely as possible. The project is completely built. An enclosure was added after the parts arrived […]
Esplora X M5Stack
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
This instructables show how to combine Arduino Esplora and M5Stack to make a NES game console. Step 1: What Is Arduino Esplora? Arduino Esplora is an Atmega32U4 AVR microcontroller board. It is unique Arduino boards, because it built-in various input sensors out-of-the-box, including a joystick, 4 push buttons, a slider, a temperature sensor, an accelerometer, […]
FAUX RADAR USES ULTRASOUND & PYTHON
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
Radars are simply cool, and their portrayal in movies and TV has a lot to do with that. You get a sweet glowing screen that shows you where the bad guys are, and a visual representation of your missiles on their way to blow them up. Sadly, or perhaps thankfully, day to day life for most […]
Arduino Controlled Robotic Arm W/ 6 Degrees of Freedom
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
I am a member of a robotics group and each year our group participates in an annual Mini-Maker Faire. Beginning in 2014, I decided to build a new project for each year’s event. At the time, I had about a month before the event to put something together and had no idea what I wanted to do. A […]
Arduino Bluetooth Camera
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
Today you can hardly surprise anyone with a mobile phone with a camera, wireless gadgets and other technical advances. Thanks to the Arduino platform, millions of people have discovered the wonderful world of electronics and programming. 100,500 instructions were written on how to exchange data between a mobile phone and Arduino via bluetooth … What […]
Stroboscopic Fountain
Posted on: 15 Jun 2026
For our SIDE project, a year long project that we do for Ms. Berbawy’s Principles of Engineering class, we decided to make a stroboscopic fountain. The stroboscopic effect, pioneered by Harold Edgerton, makes objects appear as though they are moving in slow motion. How does this work? A strobe light is flashed at the same […]
