After the operation I made a period of rehabilitation in the use of the leg muscles, through physiotherapy sessions. These sessions consisted of passive movements inducted by […]
Arduino Electromagnetic Field Detector
A while back I saw an EMF (Electromagnetic Field) Detector at makezine.com that used a led bargraph. I decided to modify it to use a 7-Segment LED Display! Here’s my project. Sorry I don’t have any pictures of it in use. Hopefully I can post some soon. Credit goes to Aaron ALAI for the original […]
Arduino Time-Lapse Controller
This project originally started out with a few simple parts thrown together to create a very simple time-lapse controller for a DSLR camera. After I was happy with the initial prototype, I wanted to make a final version which the programming of the “lapse time” was self contained into one single entity instead of relying […]

I started off building a digger but then realised a tank would be better because, well tanks are cool!I originally built it to be controlled over Bluetooth from my phone but then wanted to […]
Think-a-Tron Mini
This Instructable is a standalone follow on to my recent Think-a-Tron 2020 project. You can see a picture of my Think-a-Tron “family” including the original, 2020, and Mini versions above. For the background on what Think-a-Tron is and what I tried to accomplish with Think-a-Tron 2020, I encourage you to check out the Think-a-Tron 2020 Instructable. My […]
Self Balancing Unicycle
Following the popularity of our self balancing scooter and the SciChair we decided to try something a little edgier, the Self Balancing Unicycle. This project reuses a lot of stuff from our previous projects, using an arduino as the brains behind the scenes. Step 1: Ready your tools Before we begin lets ensure we have […]
