Arduino LED Night Lights With Switch to Turn on and Off

The design was inspired by a product that is also presented on Instructable called “Arduino Basics with Night Light” (https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-Basics-With-…). Originally, the device is only allowed to change the LED lights by pushing down a button; after adding the codes and circuits (added: a speaker to notify the user for using recommended relatively peaceful color-blue/a […]

RASPBERRY PI PICO USED AS A TRANSPUTER

Blog / By Tismail

You can’t fake that feeling when a $4 microcontroller dev board can stand in as cutting-edge 1980s technology. Such is the case with the working transputer that [Amen] has built using a Raspberry Pi Pico. For a thorough overview of the transputer you should check out [Jenny List’s] longer article on the topic but boiled down we’re talking

Coke Machine Can Level Detector

CNC Machines Projects / By Tismail

Rev 2.5 – tidied up the 3D printed parts and updated the plug connector to a common PCB unit. Rev 2 – ultrasonic “button” replaces manual push-button. Pushing a button is so old fashion, particularly when I’m already using an Ultrasonic sensor. Why not use an ultrasonic sensor to activate the can level detector! Rev

Arduino CNC Drawing Machine (or the Road to Success)

CNC Machines Projects / By Tismail

This project is based on mostly items which are easy to find. The idea is to take two unused computer disk units and combine them to create an automated drawing machine which resembles a CNC machine. The pieces used out of the drives include the motors and railings from both of the drives and the

DIY Weighing Machine

Temperature Measurement Project Ideas / By Tismail

In today’s Instructable, I’ll show you how to build an easy but useful Weighing Machine. It is very sensitive and accurate up to 3 grams. The maximum weight it can measure is 20 kgs but I’ll also show you how you can effortlessly build one that can measure up to 150 kgs. Step 1: Watch

AUTO-AIMING NERF GUN TO GIVE YOU THE EDGE IN BATTLE

Arduino News / By Tismail

Ever wished for some robotic enhancements for your next nerf war? Well, it’s time to dig through the parts bin and build yourself a nerf gun with aimbot built right in, courtesy of [3Dprintedlife]. (Video, embedded below.) The gun started with a design borrowed from [Captain Slug]’s awesome catalog of open source nerf guns. [3Dprintedlife] modified the

A PHASED-ARRAY ULTRASONIC 3D SCANNER FROM SCRATCH

Arduino News / By Tismail

Who wouldn’t want an autonomous drone to deliver cans of fizzy drink fresh from the fridge? [Alex Toussaint] did, and in thinking how such a machine might work he embarked on a path that eventually led him to create a fully functional ultrasonic 3D scanner. In writing it up he’s produced a straightforward description of how the

MIND-CONTROLLED FLAMETHROWER

Arduino News / By Tismail

Mind control might seem like something out of a sci-fi show, but like the tablet computer, universal translator, or virtual reality device, is actually a technology that has made it into the real world. While these devices often requires on advanced and expensive equipment to interpret brain waves properly, with the right machine learning system

A $50 CNC

Arduino News / By Tismail

In theory, there’s isn’t much to building a CNC machine. Hook a bit to a motor and move the motor around with some lead screws and stepper motors. Easy. But, of course, the devil is in the details. [DAZ] made a nice-looking and inexpensive rig that probably isn’t the most precise CNC in the world, but it

CLEVER GAS MIXER GETS JUST THE RIGHT BLEND FOR HOMEBREW LASER TUBES

Arduino News / By Tismail

[Lucas] over at Cranktown City on YouTube has been very busy lately, but despite current appearances, his latest project is not a welder. Rather, he built a very clever gas mixer for filling his homemade CO2 laser tubes, which only looks like a welding machine. (Video, embedded below.) We’ve been following [Lucas] on his journey to build
