One of the knocks that woodworkers get from the metalworking crowd is that their chosen material is a bit… compliant. Measurements only need to be within a 1/16th of an inch or so, or about a millimeter, depending on which side of the Atlantic you’re on. And if you’re off a bit? No worries, that’s […]

Running a brushed motor in muddy or dusty environments takes a toll on controllers, with both heavy back EMF and high stall currents. This explains one of the challenge in Europe’s Hacky Racer series, which is decidedly more off-road than America’s Power Racing Series. In pushing these little electric vehicles to the limits, many builders

If you have solar panels, you want soak up as much sunshine as you can to get your money’s worth. If you don’t have space for a lot of panels, the next best thing is repositioning the panels to catch the most rays. For his entry into the Hackaday Prize, [Frank] built a gorgeous solar tracker

The oldest form of television used a spinning disk with a progression of holes — a Nipkow disk — to slice the image into lines for display. They’re surprisingly simple machines and capable of unexpectedly high-quality images despite their relatively low resolution. Even better, in an age of microcontrollers and bright LEDs, making one that

Arduino Laser Turret, Overview: In this endeavor, I will show how to construct an Arduino laser turret with servo motors and a two-axis joystick. I will supply the code needed along with a circuit diagram, along with a thorough explanation of the project. This will allow anyone to construct the laser turret without facing any
How to make Arduino Laser Turret using Servo motors and Joystick Continue Reading
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

I pull my curtain up and down a couple of times a day. If I watch a movie I pull it down and then, I pull it up to get better lighting. I also pull it down when I go to sleep and I pull it up again when I wake up. I want this
