This project shows how to make an interactive picture of a dandelion. It starts as a yellow flower with LED’s for petals then changes into a white dandelion clock, which can be blown on to make the seeds disperse. It is based on a beautiful artwork by Qi Jie, whose picture was inspired by a […]
I wanted to create a digital version of the Magic 8 Ball… The body of this is 3D printed and the display has been changed from an polyhedron in blue dye to a small OLED controlled by a random number generator programmed into an Arduino NANO. Then I went on a bit of a tangent
This instruction is a story about how I made an ornithopter prototype. For those who do not know, an ornithopter is a machine designed to achieve flight by flapping wings like a real bird. The idea was to create an ornithopter from scratch, to control it remotely, and of course to make it fly. Please

The problem we picked was – Growing plants in limited space by amateurs. Many people would like to grow plants (basic vegetables, herbs for the kitchen, etc) but do not have enough space in their house to do so. They also may not have the expertise to grow plants, so would need an easy DIY

Photographers searching for a professional style motorised camera slider and pan-tilt camera mount, may be interested in a new project by YouTuber “isaac879”. The project is open source with links to the design files and code provided via Github. Check out the first and second videos in the series below. “This is the pan tilt camera

This project allow us to simulate presence and to detect movements in our home. We can configure a network of devices installed in differents rooms of our home all of them controlled by a main device. This project combines these features on a single device (PICTURE 1): It is a presence simulator: the device switchs on and off one

Nothing says tech addict quite like the wearing of a binary watch — and we say that as tech addicts ourselves. However, many of the homebrew binary watches we’ve seen don’t just look nerdy because they are showing the time in binary. They are nerdy because it looks like someone strapped an Arduino to their
This project is about making portable luxmeter. It can be used in schools, where children can measure different kinds of light sources.Functions: 1. measure intensity of light in lux. 2. calculate solar irradiation from lux to watts/m2 (factor 112) 3. charging battery using USB port Total cost is around 13 $ without case. Luxmeter take 15 mA, so
This Instructables show how to create a tailor-made breadboard for dev board. Step 1: Current Breadboard Breadboard (solderless breadboards) is a very import component for prototyping of electronics. It can help you test the circuit before soldering it. Since the connection not require soldering, after the prototyping, all components can be reusable for next projects.
