Hello! My name is David, I am a 14-year-old boy living in Spain and this is my first Instructable. I have been building robots and fixing old computers for some time now and my robotics teacher told me that it was good time to start sharing with other people what I have learnt. So here […]
Sometimes when we go away from home for a few days or are really busy the house plants (unfairly) suffer because they are not watered when they need it. This is my solution. It’s a Smart Plant Pot which includes: Inbuilt water reservoir. A sensor to monitor the moisture level of the soil. A pump

This project was created by Daniel Månsson [], Flemming Andersen [flem781a] and Mikkel Pavia [mikk24b9] as an exam project at the school University College Lillebælt. As a part of one of our electives, during second semester, in automation engineering, we were tasked with creating an Arduino project. As a student at our school, you get

Any resemblance between The Wobble Sphere and a certain virus making the rounds these days is purely coincidental. Although as yet another project undertaken during the COVID-19 lockdowns, we can see where the inspiration came from. Wobble Sphere is another work of interactive art from the apparently spring-driven imagination of [Robin Baumgarten], whose Quantum Garden

Like many older people, my mom lives by herself. She likes her lifestyle but sometimes it gets a bit lonely. We talk on the phone a few times each week but it’s the in-between times where she could use a little emotional boost. A simple “I’m thinking of you” would be enough to make her

I´ve been looking into LED Cubes and noticed that most of them were either to complicated or to expensive. After looking at a lot of different cubes, I finally decided that my LED Cube should be: easy and simple to build affordable very stylish and extravagant After having build multiple Arduino LED Cubes, I can

There was a time when building realistic simulations of vehicles was the stuff of NASA and big corporations. Today, many people have sophisticated virtual cockpits or race cars that they use with high-resolution screens or even virtual reality gear. If you think about it, a virtual car isn’t that hard to pull off. All you
FOUR ON THE FLOOR FOR YOUR VIRTUAL RACE CAR Continue Reading
Imec, the distinguished Belgian research center has invented a new and cost-effective method of cooling chips. This achievement can be an important innovation to tackle the ever-increasing cooling demands of high-performance 3D chips and systems. Present powerful electronic systems have high cooling demands for integrated semiconductor chips. Conventional solutions operate with various passive (or occasionally active)

Building a macro pad inside of a 3D printed enclosure is hardly news these days. Neither is adding 3D printed keycaps to the mix. But if you go as far as [James Stanley] has, and actually print the switches themselves, we’ve got to admit that’s another story entirely. Now you might be wondering how [James] managed
