Pin art is one of those things that simply cannot be left alone if it’s within arms reach, and inevitably end up with a hand or face imprint. [hugs] is also fascinated by them, so he designed the PinThing, a mechanized pin art display. The PinThing pin diameters are much larger than standard pin art, but […]

LabRecon allows one to build rich graphical interfaces for “remote” IoT (Internet of Things) or “local” measurement and control applications. A drag-and-drop panel builder and graphical “Wiring” programming environment allows one to easily build an interface and create the operating logic for any project. This operating logic can be further expanded using the “code link” interface

This instructable was created in fulfillment of the project requirement of the Makecourse at the University of South Florida (www.makecourse.com). In this tutorial you will learn how to make a fully automated robot named Rob who is equipped with sensors that allow it to detect obstacles. Rob moves until he comes into contact with an

For this project, I wanted to create a winch that would be functional for use in a show in a theatre. Often, we have to fly in and out small objects, like chandeliers. This unit would be ideal for raising and lowering small objects in spaces that did not have a fly system, or for
The ability to move in any direction and turn on the spot is a helpful feature on robots that operate indoors around other objects. [James Bruton] demonstrated one possible solution in the form of a robot chassis that can move in any direction with three ball-shaped wheels. The video after the break is part two of

Plenty of clocks around us are useful for telling us the precise hour, minute, and second of the day. However, few can give us an intuitive sense of how far away we are from the enveloping cloak of night. This 3D printed Earth clock built by [Simon Rob] promises to do just that. The build consists

Hephaestus, my own 3D printer I finally did it, I designed and built my own 3D printer. This is in no way “the best 3D printer”. Instead, this was an epic and nightmare project that exercised my ability to engineer and build my own CNC machine. Along the way, I figured out what I did

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
600V intelligent power modules (IPMs) from Infineon make up the CIPOS Micro IPMs. They are qualified for harsh humid environments, passing 1000 hours of high voltage, high temperature and high humidity reverse bias (HV H3TRB) stress testing. This makes the energy-efficient IPM suitable for power appliance motor drives particularly in circulator hydronic pumps, drain pumps for washing machines, dishwashers,

This instructable describes how to make an ultrasonic “radar-style” display using an Arduino microcontroller, an ultrasonic sensor, and a small stepping motor. An optional sensor modification allows multiple objects to be detected with each ping. Construction is simple … all you need are two drills, a sharp knife, a pair of side-cutters , and a
