The aim is to create a fully functioning USB HOTAS* joystick from low cost electronics parts. I bought Elite Dangerous when it was released for the Mac and realised very quickly I was going to have the floor wiped with me if I didn’t have a decent joystick, the problem is a really good joystick

The objective of this project is to measure air quality by measuring the quantity of fine particles. Thanks to its portability, it will be possible to carry out measurements at home or on the move. Air quality and fine particles: Particulate matter (PM) is generally defined as fine solid particles carried by the air (source:

My first meeting with microcontrollers was a few decades ago (you might remember the first Parallax Basic Stamps) but with the Arduino platform it happened more recently, only 6 years ago and although at that time the development boards were quite difficult to find, even then I found it was a very interesting thing. Later

INTRODUCTION Hi. I’ve built this little device for my HNC project back in the old days (2015). Because I like photography, and my task was to make something using microcontrollers. I’ve made this little device using Arduino UNO, as this was an ideal board for this job (and cheapest). There were quite a few similar

Having made a lot of wearables as an engineer, advisor, and through replication, there’s one irritation that I find consistent with a lot of systems (mine included) – components (typically sensors & actuators) can’t be maneuvered to the wearer’s preferences. To begin to think about how to solve this issue, I’ve made this prototype system

This project will show you how to create a computationally enriched puppet that can detect magnetic fields. The puppet (who I call Compy) has two very sensitive GMR analog magnetic sensors that are located in her beak, these sensors are read by an Arduino Nano that actuates a 3×3 haptic display (Figure 3) based on

Friction can often seem like a ‘boring’ force. Something we are all familiar with from a young age, but friction does a lot more than just make objects slow down – although that is a big part of this project. Friction allows the world to work as it is today. Friction between your shoes and

Fruit and vegetable market is a big sector that is worth more than 200 billion euros worldwide, this is expected to grow even more in the next decade due to an increasing healthier lifestyle across different European countries. When fruits and vegetables are sold at the supermarket they are usually exposed in open spaces, anyone

Hello there! I hope you all are fine and in good health. This instructable is about making your own current sensor that is compatible with Arduino and most other widely popular microcontrollers. This project features a compact design and an all SMD component based circuit, making this sensor module very compact for it’s range. This
