Using the magic of Arduino, I revived an antique Bell model 202 telephone and added Bluetooth capability to it. There are two parts to this. On one end I have an ancient phone from the 1930’s. On the other end, I have one of a dozen “name tags” with hidden LEDs. When a person dials […]
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single cat in possession of good fortune must be in want of a laser toy. As with single gentlemen in want of future wives, some precautions must be observed. But is that not true of anything really worth having? If you do have concerns about pets and […]
Turn your NES controller’s START BUTTON into an ON/OFF switch for lights with this Instructable – Other versions I have seen either gut or modify the electronics but in this project the electronics are intact so the controller can be used for retro gaming after the lights go out… I used an LED for the light in this Instructable because […]
The main purpose of this project was to build a robot that would differentiate itself from already existing robots, and that could be used in a real and innovative area. Based on personal experience, it was decided to build a car-shaped robot that would be implemented in an Escape Game. Thanks to the different components, the […]
Hi everyone, this is my second instrucatable! This time we are going to build a wooden clock with temperature and humidity display. Like shown in the picture, our the time will be displayed through the “wood”. Since light isn’t strong enough to pass a piece of wood, we are going to use wood texture vinyl stickers […]
A few months ago I decided to become a member of the local maker space, since I’ve been wanting to learn the tools of the maker trade for ages. I had a tiny bit of Arduino experience and a had taken a Fusion-course here on Instructables. However I had no experience with a lasercutter, nor with […]
I made this project in collaboration with Ruben Says, for our studies in electromechanics at the HoGent. The assignment was to make a line follower robot, which is a little cart that by using its sensors is able to follow a black line on a white paper. In this tutorial I will give you an […]
I am an Electronics engineer by profession and a guitarist by hobby. I wanted to make a guitar which can itself show the beginner guitarist how to play the chords by displaying it on the fret board. So I decided to modify my acoustic guitar to make it a smart guitar which can display chords […]
Brewing beer has become a worldwide phenomenon. Beer and wine is being crafted in ordinary kitchens in every corner of the world. One phrase that you may hear from your fellow homebrewer is “From Grain to Glass”, which refers to the process of making beer from raw ingredients. There are several different ways of making […]
I’ve always played with legos as a kid, but I didn’t have any of the ‘fancy’ legos, just classic lego bricks. I’m also a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and my favourite character is Hulk. So why not combine the two, and make a giant hulk minifigures, because bigger is always better, […]
