Step 1: HOW IT WORKS The operation of a project is uncomplicated. Understanding it is crucial for project development. Essentially, the device includes a reed switch or magnetic switch attached to the bicycle frame and a magnet attached to one of the spokes. The magnet activates the switch with each turn of the wheel. The […]
After seeing RYNO motors and Segway’s self balancing scooters, I was always interested in creating something alike. After some consideration, I made the decision to create a Self Balancing Robot using Arduino. This way, I would understand the fundamental idea behind the scooters and also gain knowledge of how the PID algorithm operates. As soon
CNC/Laser cutters are invariable tools of modern day fabrication and there are a lot of open source DIY laser cutter projects that you can make. They are now being widely used in industrial applications at a more personal and mass consumer level. But the cutters today have an indirect interface involving external computers. I can explain this

We have a great thread that contains lots of info on thermal differential controllers here. However, I wanted to start a thread dedicated to my own development of a thermal differential controller that I’ll be using for my attic heat reclamation project. Tonight I setup a simple circuit that tested the operation of the differential

DIY wattmeter with an Arduino Measuring power and energy using regular multimeters can be challenging or even unfeasible at times. In order to conduct such a precise and reliable measurement, a specific wattmeter is necessary. Due to their high cost, an alternative option is introduced in the form of a homemade wattmeter using an Arduino
Why make your own Arduino control system? Once I finished building my homemade telescope mount, I installed a Meade DS motor kit to power it. This system was very sluggish, lacking in power, and untrustworthy. I couldn’t modify the programming or upkeep the system either. I chose to develop my own telescope control system from

BotFactory Inc writes: “Pandemic,” it’s a scary word to hear. Especially when it’s accompanied by panic-buying of canned goods, pasta, and the disappearance of most disinfecting products from stores. As soon as various media outlets started filling up their news cycles with stories about the coronavirus, alcohol, hand sanitizer, and other disinfectants flew off the shelves.
Photographer and Instructables user Alexander Morris created a giant Instagram inspired photo-booth and published all the steps to make one yourself. It’s the perfect solution to pimp-up your parties! What’s inside of the box? An Arduino DUE coded to start the photo-booth sequence once the big red button is pressed and some other stuff: You can start exploring
