Acoustic levitator from Asier Marzo is a very popular thing here on instructables. I build it, it was working but I noticed couple of issues. For example: The 3D printed space between bowls is a bit fragile. The levitator can’t stand on its own because of its curvature. All the electronics are fragile and a

This is a YouTube Subscriber counter built with an ESP8266. It uses the YouTube apiv3 to poll for changes. It’s made specifically for one of my favourite youtubers Henk Rijckaert. It was featured in his livestream where the goal was to get to 9000 subscribers. Step 1: Parts Needed – Electronics and Case The project is

I have been working with Arduino and electronics for many years now, and I am still learning. In this ever-expanding world of micro-controllers, it is easy to get lost and run circles around yourself trying to find information. In this Instructable, I will be showing you: What an Arduino is and does. Where to start

Let’s learn how to control multiple LEDs using Arduino’s digital outputs and a breadboard. Expanding upon the last lesson on blinking an LED, We’ll connect some LEDs to the Arduino Uno and compose a simple program to light them up in a pattern. You can follow along virtually using Tinkercad Circuits. You can even view this lesson from

In this tutorial I show how you can make a minimalist clock synchronized with the internet. I tested it with two different ESP8266 based boards: Firebeetle and NodeMCU. The microcontroller gets current time from a Google server, and displays it on a NeoPixel LED ring. It also receives current weather data from WeatherUnderground, using IFTTT

If you are looking for a small and low powered Arduino board the Attiny is a really good option, its surprisingly featureful for it’s size. It has 5 GPIO pins, 3 of which are Analog pins and 2 which have PWM output. It is also really flexible to the voltage that it runs off (2.7V

The clock uses 2 electro mechanical clock movements controlled by an Arduino to display the Day and Month. A third quartz controlled movement displays the time tide Low or High tide. The Calendar is fully automatic and takes into account leap years as well as summer and winter time changes. The clock also has full

Today, I will show you how to build a Word Clock. It is basically a clock which displays time using words. I will also show you how to use a Shift Register and RTC using a microcontroller. Shift Register can come in very handy if you run out of pins in a microcontroller, so its a good

Ever wondered how the chameleon changes its colour through the changes in environmental colours? There’s something called Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone or MSH. If you want to dig more into this please follow this Link. The stories apart, I wanted to build ambient lighting system or something like the chameleon. This looks cool and also it helps

I’ve been growing more and more interested in the idea of First Person Video (FPV) drone racing. I’ve recently acquired a small drone and wanted a way of timing my laps – this is the resulting project. This drone landing pad features an integrated ultrasonic sensor that detects a drones presence. When a drone departs
