The ISS Overhead is an ambient display that glows whenever the International Space Station is flying overhead. It is designed to act as an occasional reminder that there are people living and working in space! This project should take you somewhere between 2 hours to an afternoon to complete. It assumes you know how to […]
Oscilloscopes were once commonly called CROs, for the fact that they relied on cathode ray tubes for display. Since then, technology has moved quickly, and oscilloscopes these days almost entirely rely on modern screens like LCDs. However, [lonesoulsurfer] went a different route with this fun DIY build, creating an oscilloscope with a low-resolution LED display. Yes,

Working on an electronics project or doing an electronics repair job is usually tedious and one of the contributing factors to this is the usual lack of the right tools for the necessary tasks including screwing and unscrewing parts. One approach to solve this problem was the development of electric screwdrivers and quite a lot

Amanda Ghassaei has published on her website an interesting project: the Glitchbox. This instrument can do two different things: -it can be used as a standalone audio device, with the audio data stored in the arduino’s flash memory -it can also be used to sequence MIDI through a usb connection to your computer There is

Pinball machines are large, complex, and heavy boxes of joy and delight. However, when you don’t have the money or space for one, you have to make your own mini Raspberry Pi-powered one. With access to a local makerspace and a bit of extra free time, [Chris Dalke] had plans to capture the flavor of a

The Timex Datalink was arguably the first usable smartwatch, and was worn by NASA astronauts as well as geek icons like Bill Gates. It could store alarms, reminders and phone numbers, and of course tell the time across a few dozen time zones. One of the Datalink’s main innovations was its ability to download information

I got the idea for this circuit from one of my professors. That design wasn’t meant for passing frequencies high enough to be able to pass an audio file, e.g. 500Hz+, so I built this by modifying the carrier and signal frequencies, using only the Digilent Analog Discovery and the Analog Parts Kit. It should
