Max’s Arduino Mega and chipKIT Max32 both require 9V external supplies, but he really wishes to power them from a single 5V supply. Well, nothing is simple, is it? I ran into a minor “gotcha” with regard to my Bodacious Acoustic Diagnostic Astoundingly Superior Spectromatic (BADASS) display project. As you may recall from my previous […]
Today, I would like to share how to build a 3 axis CNC machine at home using available or discarded materials. Specifically in this project, I reused 2 old DC servo motors and 2 wooden wine boxes, as well as, taking advantage of my daughter’s unused school supplies. Step 1: Supplies The main materials are […]
Hi there! As I’ve almost finished my studies at Faculty of Engineering, I had to make a graduation project and my thought was to make a jaw-dropping thing (I know that’s hilarious 😀 ) to show everybody that I’m a good prototype maker and I can turn ideas into real and useful things. I know […]
What if you could turn any conductive surface into an instrument? Like, say…a mug of water? Best of all, it’s cheap; you’ll only need $1 worth of extra electrical components (not including the Arduino). For this project, my friend Harvest and I combined Disney’s Touché touch-sensing system with Arduino, and then used ChucK to generate […]
This project uses an Arduino microcontroller and a laser break-beam trigger to fire via USB remote a Canon camera modified with CHDK (Canon Hack Development Kit) firmware. Immediate influences are the high-speed flash photography triggered by sound or light project by Glacial Wanderer and the Laser Triggered High-Speed Photography instructable by Saskview. The first uses […]
Not the simple “Hello World” app but a semi-serious play with the MKR1000. Things used in this project Hardware components Arduino MKR1000 × 1 Relay (generic) × 1 Story I won a MKR1000 at the Hackster contest and I got it on my mailbox so I said to myself .. lets keep my promise and […]
My kids wanted to have a head controlled mouse for playing Minecraft – they wanted to move their heads and have the field of view move. I decided that was a challenge I couldn’t resist, so I decided to build a movement controlled mouse using an arduino and a gyroscope chip. Components A-Star 32U4 Micro […]
It all started as a weekend project with my kids and soon enough I got sucked into a 4 month project with their school ! The idea was to get a small group of kids aged 6 to 9 to participate to a robotics contest (http://www.eurobot.org/eng/index.php). It was a fun journey and they did really […]
