Calculating on paper is never an easy job. And when it comes to formulas with sub-formulas of their own, it is nothing short of a nightmare! Take the case of a simple pendulum, which has a variable with a formula of its own. What if there was a way to replace these scary calculations with […]

Join me in creating ground effect lighting for my scooter using a bluetooth microcontroller and addressable LED strip. For this project I’m recycling two bits of pixel strip leftover from my old POV bike project tutorial. These are APA102s or DotStars, but you could totally use Neopixels for this project, I just happened to have

For the last month or so I’ve been working on a project involving a NeoPixel, I chose to use a NeoPixel instead of the usual RGB LED strip because I felt that the individual addressable LEDs would be easier to work and create better effects. While this is true I did not take into account the learning curb

Generally, any activity out on the water is more dangerous when done at night. Hazards are less visible, and it can be easy to get into trouble. [Xyla Foxlin]’s party canoe can’t help with that, but it does look the business after dark. The canoe is made out of fiberglass, directly formed onto an existing canoe to make

At first glance, this might appear to be a Rube Goldberg machine made of toys. The truth isn’t far off — it’s a remote-control animatronic story machine driven by its spectators and their phones. [Niklas Roy] and a team of volunteers built it in just two weeks for Phaenomenale, a festival centered around art and digital culture

Original glowing ornament for your Xmas tree. It’s made from brass rods wired by a freeform method and contains 18 glowing LEDs. Step 1: Tools soldering iron solder soldering paste 0.8mm brass rod 18x SMD LED coin battery on/off switch Step 2: The Rings The main challenge here is to create a round shape from

A few weeks ago I made a freeform Arduinoflake. Lot of you loved it. But its magic is not only being freeform but also in the pattern of the LEDs. So I decided to create a PCB version which would be really easy and cheap to make for everyone! It’s the same beauty in a different

The Raspberry Pi compute module is a powerful piece of hardware, especially for the price. With it, you get more IO than a normal Pi, plus the ability to design hardware around it that’s specifically tailored to your needs rather than simply to general-purpose consumers. However, this comes at the cost of needing a way

I am an Electronics engineer by profession and a guitarist by hobby. I wanted to make a guitar which can itself show the beginner guitarist how to play the chords by displaying it on the fret board. So I decided to modify my acoustic guitar to make it a smart guitar which can display chords
