Pin art is one of those things that simply cannot be left alone if it’s within arms reach, and inevitably end up with a hand or face imprint. [hugs] is also fascinated by them, so he designed the PinThing, a mechanized pin art display. The PinThing pin diameters are much larger than standard pin art, but […]

[Emiel] aka [The Practical Engineer] makes all kinds of fun projects in his fully-featured shop, and one of his tangents has been building a series of solenoid engines. These engines mimic the function of an internal combustion engine, with each solenoid acting as a piston. The only problem with [Emiel]’s concept engines, though, was that

Following on from the original successfully launched Inkplate, the Crowd Supply Inkplate 6PLUS Wi-Fi e-paper display campaign has now successfully passed its required pledge goal raising over $16,000 thanks to over 60 backers with still 20 days remaining. The newly updated Inkplate 6PLUS features wireless connectivity, a touchscreen and front lighting and is now available via

Sometimes the best way to figure out how something works is to make a model of it. 3D-modeling software makes it possible to do the job in silico, and sometimes that’s enough. But to really get inside the designer’s head, executing a physical model, like this quarter-scale RC-controlled Perseverance rover, is a great way to go. If

One of the many advancements brought about by 3D printing is the rapid development of compliant mechanisms and flexure joints. One such example is [jicerr]’s joystick, which uses a pair of spherical flexure joints recently developed by researchers from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, See the videos after the break. Both flexure joint designs make use of tetrahedron-shaped

Dear friends welcome to another Arduino project Instructable! I am very excited because today I am going to show you how I built this Art Deco style FM Radio project using Arduino. It is by far the most complex project I have ever built and also my favorite. Let’s see what we are going to build

If you’ve ever watched one of those high production value YouTube videos and wondered how they’re able to get those smooth shots where the camera seems to be spinning around an object, you were probably looking at the product of an motorized camera motion system. There’s no question these rigs can produce visually striking shots,

Kingbright KPTR series, suitable for reverse mounting, makes it possible to achieve that the LED is hidden in the PCB. Naturally, manufacturing LED with a zero height is most likely unreal at the current physics status and 3D experience of the world. Nevertheless, it´s still possible to reach the goal that the LED wouldn’t stick
1MM HEIGHT SMD LED CAN BE PLACED UPSIDE DOWN. Continue Reading
USound GmbH’s Ganymede Achelous and Adap MEMS speakers with their compact size of 4.7 mm x 6.7 mm x 1.6 mm are ideal for in-ear headphone designs and wearables such as true-wireless headsets. The perfect addition to traditional speakers, they can be easily retrofitted into standard enclosures to improve treble or implement 3D audio systems. Achelous is
GANYMEDE MEMS SPEAKERS CAN BE RETROFITTED INTO STANDARD ENCLOSURES Continue Reading
In this Instructables I’ve come with an idea that can be implemented to existing 3d printed prosthetic hands. In existing electrically powered prosthesis I Couldn’t find the use of capacitive touch sensing technology for the actuation of fingers. This project combines two very cool things, Arduino with Capacitive touch sensing for the actuation and remix of e-NABLE Phoenix hand design.
