Two other tutorials I have written step you through the basics (Arduino 101) and how to create a really basic data logger (Arduino Datalogger – simple). This tutorial will step through how to attach servo motors, and use temperature sensor to move it! The premise is that often, you want to respond to some input […]

Now, you can easily track attendance and clock working hours with the help of this easy and fun to make DIY fingerprint scanner! We’ll be using ThingSpeak to store and retrieve the data. All you require is a cardboard piece, some colored paper, a fingerprint sensor, evive, and lots of DIYing! Ready for some scanning […]

The ANAVI Macro Pad 8 is an open source, mini 8-key programmable keypad. Each key can be reprogrammed to activate a macro or even a dedicated shortcut, all without any coding experience says its creators. Thn aks to the keypad being powered by the advanced, but easy-to-use Quantum Mechanical Keyboard (QMK) open source firmware. “ANAVI […]

Instructables member Sebastian Coddington has created a racing quadruped robot using the power of Arduino. The race consists of a 10 m autonomous sprint and competitors can use quadruped or biped robot. The current record for a quadruped is 42 seconds for a 10 m sprint. The GorillaBot design is based on a five bar […]

In the past few years, a number of synthesizer manufacturers have been releasing “desktop semi-modular” instruments. They generally take the same form factor as the Eurorack modular synthesizer format and most are probably intended as a gateway drug into the world of modular. (As addictions go, it’s one of the safer ones.) I fell for […]

We have seen quite a few DIY joystick designs that use Hall effect sensors, but [Akaki]’s controller designs (YouTube video, embedded below) really make the most of 3D printing to avoid the need for any other type of fabrication. He’s been busy using them to enhance his Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 experience, and shares not just his joystick […]

In my Arduino 101 tutorial, you’ll be taught how to setup your environment in Tinkercad. I use Tinkercad because it is a pretty powerful online platform that allows me to demonstrate a range of skills to students for building circuits. Feel free to build all my tutorials using the Arduino IDE and a real Arduino! In this […]

We are in the joy of making a project that has been in our mind for a long time and sharing with you. Smart Coffee Table. Because this table is really smart. It illuminates your environment according to the weight of your drink. Step 1: Summary We are in the joy of making a project […]

In one of my previous Instructable, I showed you how to control a model railway layout using a keyboard. It did great but had a drawback of requiring a computer to operate. In this Instructable, let’s see how to control a model train using a keyboard through Arduino. So, without further ado, let’s get started. Step 1: […]

In general, the cost of electronic components and the tools used to fiddle with them have been dropping steadily over the last decade or so. But there will always be bargain-hunting hackers who are looking to get things even cheaper. Case in point, hot air rework stations. You can pick up one of the common […]
