BEHOLD THE MEGA-WHEELIE, A HUGE ONE-WHEELED ELECTRIC SKATEBOARD

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

DIY electric personal vehicles are a field where even hobbyists can meaningfully innovate, and that’s demonstrated by the Mega-Wheelie, a self-balancing one-wheeled skateboard constructed as an experiment in traversing off-road conditions. [John Dingley] and [Nick Thatcher] have been building and testing self-balancing electric vehicles since 2008, with a beach being a common testing ground. They suspected

BUILD AN EASY REPLICA OF HAL 9000

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

Adafruit’s PropMaker Feather is a microcontroller board designed specifically for building props with electronic features. Thus, what better way to show it off than by building a nifty replica of the most menacing AI ever to roam this solar system? That’s right, it’s the Adafruit HAL9000 build! Following the 80/20 rule, this version is intended to

TIM’S DRAW BOT GETS AROUND WITH A PEN

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

If you grew up playing with LOGO on an old 8-bit computer, you’re probably familiar with the concept of a drawbot. It’s a simple robot that drags a pen around to draw on paper. [Tim] decided to build one that uses a simple skid-steer design to get around the page. An Arduino Nano is the brains

DRIVING AN OLED SCREEN WITH A 6502 SINGLE-BOARD COMPUTER

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

Twenty years ago, if you wanted an LCD for a project, you’d probably end up with something salvaged from a mobile phone or an HD44780 character display. These days, little OLEDs can be had for a few bucks and they’ve taken the maker world by storm. [Anders Nielsen] has recently been experimenting with driving these

FRAMEWORK MOTHERBOARD TURNED CYBERDECK

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

The beauty of a modular ecosystem lies in how it allows individuals to repurpose components in unconventional ways. This is precisely what [Ben Makes Everything] has achieved by using a Framework laptop’s motherboard and battery to create a slab-style cyberdeck. (Video, embedded below.) The Framework motherboard presents an excellent choice for custom portable computer projects due to its

STAGE LIGHTING HACK KEEPS LA BOHEME FROM BECOMING A DUMPSTER FIRE

STAGE LIGHTING HACK KEEPS LA BOHÈME FROM BECOMING A DUMPSTER FIRE

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

With all due respect to the Utah Opera’s production of La bohème, we just couldn’t resist poking a little fun at master electrician [David Smith]’s quick lighting hack for the opera. And who knew an opera from 1896 would need a garbage can fire? Live and learn. In what appears to be a case of “The show must

ARDUINO-CONTROLLED COIL WINDER

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

Coil winders are a popular project because doing the deed manually can be an incredibly tedious and time consuming task. After building one such rig, [Pisces Printing] wanted to find even further time savings, and thus designed an improved, faster version. At it’s heart, it’s a straightforward design, using a linear rail and a leadscrew driven
