Hello and welcome back to another Instructable. In the previous two Instructables, I have shown you how I created PCB coils in Kicad using a Python script, covered the basics of an H bridge, and showed you how I will be using them to control the segments of the 7-segment mechanical display. Make sure you …
Well, here it is: a shoe-in for the new world’s largest NERF gun. (Video, embedded below.) The Guinness people haven’t shown up yet to award [Michael Pick], but at 12.5 feet, this baby is over twice as long as the current record holder, which belongs to former NASA mechanical engineer Mark Rober and his now-puny six-foot …
In this Instructable I will be taking you through the basics of creating your own 6 keyed macropad, controlled by an Arduino. I will be taking you through what you need, how to assemble it, how to program it, and how to improve it or make it your own. After much research, I couldn’t really …
Hoping to reduce my late-night smartphone use, I got a vintage alarm clock for next to my bed. This beautiful mechanical flip clock has just one problem: a truly horrifying alarm sound. (Witness the first video above.) It’s no wonder what this clock isn’t being used anymore – it’s basically unusable as an alarm; it …

Purpose: Gain experience, and problem-solving skills by creating a project to complete Outline- Use a glove to connect through an arduino to control a 3-D robotic printed “arm”. Each of the joints on the 3-D printed arm has a servo which connects to the flex sensor on the glove and moves in proportion to how …
Everlasting flower for your everlasting love. A perfect not-only Valentine’s day gift to your loved one. This mechanical tulip will bloom into any color possible with just gentle touch of your hand. Its six petals will slowly open and light up. When petals are closed they create incredible ambient light with leaf patterns. Step 1: …
The researchers at Soochow University in China, have published a paper on the hybrid device that is able to harness the power of sun and rain using a hybrid panel. By attaching a transparent nanogenerator to a silicon solar cell, researchers have designed a device that harvests solar energy in sunny conditions and the mechanical energy of falling raindrops in rainy conditions. The dual …

Arduino is an excellent way to simplify and speed up your microcontroller projects, thanks to its community of developers who have made almost everything look simple. There are lots of Arduino Projects out here for you to try and have fun. Some of your projects might need some sounds action to notify about something or just …
Success and reliability of a device depends not only on laboratory tests in “ideal conditions” but also on its mechanical construction. Elimination of mutual influence (EMC), optimal space usage, resistance to vibrations, easy assembly at production are one of factors why it´s worth to design mechanical part of a device into details. At production of …
