In this project I will show you how to create an Arduino based soldering station for a standard JBC soldering iron. During the build I will talk about thermocouples, AC power control and zero point detection. Let’s get started! Step 1: Watch the Video! The video gives you all the basic information you need to […]

The idea of using triangulation for distance measurements is well known since Pythagorean time, when his brilliant formula become available for mathematicians. What is new in this design, is lasers power control via “blooming” effect of CMOS camera. Here this “negative” effect was put to work instead of ADC. No need high price “no-blooming” camera!

Many of our clients face a common challenge when undertaking IoT projects. They are experts in their own fields, and most of of them have a great idea, a proof-of-concept (PoC), or a sophisticated algorithm that addresses some specific need. They have simulated their solution in Matlab or Python and are eager to build and
It’s been a while since I’ve published my last Instructables. I’m back, and I’m 3D-printed-powered! Enjoy this mini retro arcade machine. It’s literally my first complete end-to-end 3D-printed project: I made the design, printed it, assembled the electronics, programmed it, and now to the tutorial 🙂 This guide will be updated soon with instructions to

In this project we use an Arduino Uno along with some simple components to create an interactive, scary and playful decoration for Halloween to impress all your guests. Our idea is basically designing a candy dispenser that only provides the user with a few candy if a riddle is solved properly; of course everthing ambiented
RepRap Update I have finally printed all the plastic parts for the Griffin Open Source 3D printer I’m building, and they look fantastic! The remaining components should arrive soon, and then I can start construction. In the meantime, I’ve been configuring the printer control board, an Arduino Mega 2560 with the RAMPS 1.4 extension. RAMPS

Ender 3 Marlin What is Marlin Firmware? Marlin firmware holds the title of being the most commonly used 3D printer firmware worldwide. Operating on an 8-bit controller board makes it cost-effective, and it is completely open source and available for use at no charge. Companies like Creality, the manufacturer of the Ender 3, benefit greatly

I enjoy creating sumo robots and am constantly searching for innovative sensors and materials to improve the speed and intelligence of my robots. I discovered the RPLIDAR A1, available for $99 on DFROBOT.com. I mentioned my interest in testing the sensor, and they offered me the opportunity to test it out. Once I obtained the

Altium has launched a new, cloud-based application – the A365 Viewer – that redefines the way that printed circuit board designs are shared between designers, part suppliers, and manufacturers. Adding the Altium 365 Viewer has significantly enhanced the user experience when navigating the product documentation on our website. Now Arduino users can freely browse schematics,
SnapEDA is excited to share that they have launched a new and improved 3D viewer for our parts. It allows engineers to preview 3D models available on SnapEDA before download. [via SnapEDA blog] They’ve added three key features, based on feedback from our community. First, they’ve added dimensions to the viewer so that engineers can verify
