Every maker at least once make or tries to make RC Car. RC Cars are widely available yet the joy of playing with the one you made yourself can’t be compared with the bought one. So I decided to make a Wireless RC Car with the easiest available material i.e. Cardboard. No need for a …
I have built this Mini Cardboard Arcade using a B&W small CRT (Cathodic Ray Tube) recovered from an old video intercom. It is based on an Arduino Nano emulating the classical Space Invaders. The switch on the rear turns ON the Arduino and starts the game. Alternatively, one can use the two Audio/Video sockets on …
Create a display of 8×8 square pixels that can work independently. And to easily reprogram it to display different animations. Also I don’t have a 3D printer, so I needed to make it out of things around the house. Supplies LEDs 5mm APA106 x 64 Arduino UNO Ice-cream tub Baking paper LCD Image Converter software https://sourceforge.net/projects/lcd-image-converter …
SELPIC 1+ is a palm-sized handheld Inkjet printer that is currently on a Kickstarter fundraiser campaign well exceeding its targeted goal. This printer allows the user to print on any surface and any material. It can print any text, image, QR code, barcode by simply moving the device across the printing surface. The printing surface can be anything such as paper, …

Assistive technologies have a pretty big presence here on Hackaday, and this hack is nothing short of interesting. [kerchoo_22] is working on a hands-free video game controller as a final project for her engineering class and we think it’s worth sharing. The basic premise of the circuit is pretty simple. She DIY’d a few contact switches using conductive plates …
When we last checked in with prolific prototypist [Eric Strebel], he was perfecting the design of an eco-friendly wireless charger and turning his initial paper prototype into a chipboard version 2.0 that takes manufacturing concerns into consideration. At the end of this second video in a series, [Eric] was printing out the early versions of …

Hello again and welcome to my new project. In this instructable I’ve tried to make a simple Quadruped made from materials accessible to everybody. I know to get a good looking final product you need a 3d printer and maybe a CNC, but not everybody has one of this fancy devices, so I tried to …
In response to an online discussion on the Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange, [Joseph Eoff] decided to prove his point by slapping together a bare-bones IV curve tracer using an Arduino Nano and a handful of passives. But he continued to tinker with the circuit, seeing just how much improvement was possible out of this simple setup. He …
For a course we followed at KTH in Sweden, we were assigned to create an artefact which could change shape. We made a fox shape artefact, supposed to remind you to take a break from work or studying. The general concept it that the fox will display breathing like motions. When you are starting to …

[a-RN-au-D] was looking for something fun to do with his son and dreamed up a laser blaster game that ought to put him in the running for father of the year. It was originally just going to be made of cardboard, but you know how these things go. We’re happy the design went this far, because …

Howdy! If you are interested in astronomy and always look up at the stars and not down at your feet, you’ll surely know the ISS. The ISS or The International Space Station revolves around the earth around 16 times per day. Being an aerospace engineering student, I’m very keen about things like the ISS. If …
Here’s how to build a simple robotic arm with a gripper using popsicle sticks, an Arduino, and a few servos. Supplies: Feel free to use similar materials or whatever you already have. (e.g. cardboard instead of popsicle sticks) Materials: 14 Popsicle Sticks 4 Micro Servos (with their horns and screws) 4 Rotary Potentiometers 1 Half …
