[Scott Rumschlag] wanted a way to precisely map interior spaces for remodeling projects, but did not want to deal with the massive datasets created by optical 3D scanning, and found the precision of the cost-effective optical tools lacking. Instead, he built a 3D cable measuring device that can be used to map by using a manual probe […]

In this Instructable I will be taking you through the basics of creating your own 6 keyed macropad, controlled by an Arduino. I will be taking you through what you need, how to assemble it, how to program it, and how to improve it or make it your own. After much research, I couldn’t really […]

Yes, I know what you’re thinking, this does seem a little overkill but first of all, you’ll never have to worry about stubbing your toe again and second, it makes walking up and down your stairs so much fun, i found myself going upstairs for no reason just to watch the lights follow me. I mean it […]

Some might look at a cheap inkjet printer and see a clunky device that costs more to replace the ink than to buy a new one. [Abhishek Verma] saw an old inkjet printer and instead saw a smooth gantry and feed mechanism, the perfect platform to build his own DIY vinyl cutter. The printer was carefully […]

Hi there, This is my contribution to the Space-Contest. There are some ISS-Pointer around the WWW. Some of them use several PSUs and/or quite big motors. My goal was to build something cheap, looking cute and a little bit badass – all powered with only one 5 Volt PSU. If the GIF and/or the embedded Video don’t work, here […]

Automotive security specialist by day [P1kachu] hacks his own cars as a hobby in his free time. He recently began to delve into the Engine Control Units (ECUs) of the two old Hondas that he uses to get around in Japan. Both the 1996 Integra and the 1993 Civic have similar engines but different ECU hardware. Making things […]

You can sense a lot of things with the right sensor, and [Nikhil Nailwal] is here to show us how to sense colors using a TCS230. The project is a simple demo. It displays the color and lights up an LED to correspond to the detected color. If you haven’t seen the TCS230 before, it is a […]

Machine learning is an incredible tool for conservation research, especially for scenarios like long term observation, and sifting through massive amounts of data. While the average Hackaday reader might not be able to take part in data gathering in an isolated wilderness somewhere, we are all surrounded by bird life. Using an Arduino Nano 33 […]

You’ve all probably had a chance to do that classic high-school experiment: pop bottle rockets. You’ve probably taped on some fins, a paper nosecone, and presto! You launch a “rocket” that is loads of fun- and watched it fall down from the sky. Why stop there? Here, I’ll show you the basics of building the […]

Let’s learn to adjust an LED’s brightness using one of the Arduino’s analog outputs. You’ve probably already learned how to use Arduino’s digital i/o pins to send HIGH and LOW signals to an LED, but some of these pins are capable of simulating a signal somewhere in between. These pins are labeled on the Arduino Uno […]
