In this instructables I will show you how I made my own DIY laser engraver for very cheap. Also most of the parts are either salvaged from old things or are very cheap. This is a very interesting project for any electronics hobbyist. This engraver will be able to engrave wood, cardboard, vinyl stickers etc. […]

Arduino LifeClock
This unique clock reminds you to appreciate every single day, by displaying your current age in days (or weeks) on a seven segment display. Step 1: You Will Need Electronics: Arduino Pro Mini 5V (or any other arduino with >= 12 GPIO Pins) 4 Digit 7 Segment Display DS3231 Real Time Clock Module 4x 200 […]
Clock, Amplifier and a Little Amount of Wood…
The beginning of the project came from an idea, an inspiration from a video posted on the Internet on the YouTube channel “I like to do things” … Then came the need to make a stand for one of my monitors that housed a clock, a digital analog converter – DAC – integrated into an […]
Motion Activated Automatic LED Stair Lighting With Arduino
I built this Arduino based automatic LED light controller for a set of poorly lit stairs in our new home. The stairs are quite dangerous – especially at night – but not any more thanks to the Motion Activated Automatic LED Stair Lighting with Arduino (a.k.a. “the stair butler”). By carefully positioning the LED’s and […]
VORONOI HEART LAMP
Hi makers, we are here again with a beautiful and stylish lamp Project. VORONOI HEART LAMP. In this project, we benefited from epoxy resin material and 3D printer. Step 1: What Is VORONOI ? In mathematics, a Voronoi diagram is a partitioning of a plane into regions based on distance to points in a specific […]
Motion Control Slider for Time Lapse Rail
This instructable explains how to motorize a time lapse rail using a step motor driven by an Arduino. We will mainly focus on the Motion Controller that drives the step motor assuming you already have a rail you want to motorize. For example when dismantling a machine I found two rails that I could convert into time […]
Arduino 101
To get started with Arduino, you’ll need some basics. In this tutorial, we’ll go beyond a little blinky light and teach you about: Variables Input and Output pins Sensors and reading data Mapping results Functions In another tutorial, I’ll cover classes and why we might use them. But, we might still make a little light […]
Dutch 8×8 Word Clock
I know that I am not the first to make a word clock, using an Arduino. Still it was always something on my ‘to do’ list to make a Dutch one. For a different project I’ve bought a ‘colorduino / rainbowduino / funduino’ a long time ago to test something. This gave me the inspiration […]
Catching Your Breath
We are nation of obsessive counters: of pulse, steps, followers and calories. Most of these numbers mean little as physiology cannot be reduced to these metrics. But we try and I wondered how do we count a breath? Remember the cinematic days before hospital demise a cold mirror was a crude indicator of expiring breath. […]
Multicolour LED Icosahedron
A while ago I made a large 20 sided Die. Numerous people wanted me to build them one and since the most difficult part of the project was getting the cutting angles just right, I decided to make another which would allow for more accurate assembly. This time 3D printed instead of plywood and glue. I […]
