Hello! My name is David, I am a 14-year-old boy living in Spain and this is my first Instructable. I have been building robots and fixing old computers for some time now and my robotics teacher told me that it was good time to start sharing with other people what I have learnt. So here […]
After being accidentally locked out of my house on more than one occasion, I decided that there had to be better way to entering my home that did not involve breaking and entering (and without hiding a key outside somewhere). On taking a look at my garage door set-up I noticed that the motor to
The Arduino is the ultimate tool in the Maker’s arsenal. You should be able to build your own! In the early days of the project, circa 2005, the design was all through-hole parts and communication was via a RS232 serial cable. The files are still available, so you can make your own, and I have, but not many computers
In this DIY guide I will show you how to make your own security check system based on Arduino! You can use this system in areas with security guards (e.g. warehouses, malls, open areas). Every guard will have a personal RFID card with a unique ID number. When a security guard pass his cards over

This project shows how to make an interactive picture of a dandelion. It starts as a yellow flower with LED’s for petals then changes into a white dandelion clock, which can be blown on to make the seeds disperse. It is based on a beautiful artwork by Qi Jie, whose picture was inspired by a
Advantech announced a new gaming and lottery board, the DPX-E265. The gaming board is based on AMD’s Ryzen V1000, which features a 4x DP++ ports, 2x SATA, plus M.2, PCle x16, and PCIe x4 expansion. Prior to the DPX E265, in February of this year Advantech announced the DPC-E140 casino gaming board with AMD’s Ryzen

We all know that there’s not much to do with an old hard drive. Once you render the platters unreadable and perhaps harvest those powerful magnets, there’s not much left of interest. Unless, of course, you turn the whole thing into a persistence-of-vision clock. At least that’s what [Leo] did when he created “PendoLux”. The clock
Spoiler! Winter is definitely coming. But make this cool Game of Thrones light up map for a Spring project. The map lights up with a flame effect revealing the sigil of the remaining house in power. What do I know, make it with the sigil of your favorite. Step 1: Board It Up… This is
This project was created by Daniel Månsson [], Flemming Andersen [flem781a] and Mikkel Pavia [mikk24b9] as an exam project at the school University College Lillebælt. As a part of one of our electives, during second semester, in automation engineering, we were tasked with creating an Arduino project. As a student at our school, you get
This article is the 12th in a series on home automation Instructables documenting how to create and integrate an IoT Retro Speech Synthesis Device into an existing home automation system including all the necessary software functionality to enable the successful deployment within a domestic environment. Picture 1 shows the completed IoT speech synth device and Picture 2
