Spain-based creator Ivan Miranda used a 3D printer to build a gigantic robotic hand that will eventually be a part of a much larger project. This isn’t a basic animatronic hand, but rather one with fifteen individual motors, enabling it to fully articulate as well as grip objects. You won’t be able to 3D print this at […]

Material testing is important in big industry, where manufacturers must be able to trust the properties of the raw materials they’re using. The rest of us generally take a supplier’s word for it that they’re giving us what we’ve paid for. However, you could always take on material testing yourself with the Universal Tensile Testing Machine

Parol 6 is a 3D-printed six-axis robot arm created by [Petar Crnjak] as a combination of the principles from a few previous projects. Aside from a pneumatic gripper, each axis is driven by a stepper motor, with at least a few of these axes being driven through a metal planetary gearbox for extra precision and torque.

For the last ten to fifteen years, optical drives have been fading out of existence. There’s little reason to have them around anymore unless you are serious about archiving data or unconvinced that streaming platforms will always be around. While there are some niche uses for them still, we’re seeing more and more get repurposed

The workshop demonstrates how to control motors using Arduino and Processing In today’s workshop, participants will learn how to control two types of motors, namely DC motors and servo motors, using the Arduino board. The workshop will make use of firmata and a Processing to Arduino link, and a straightforward user interface will be created
Controlling DC Motors and Servo Motors with Arduino and Processing GUI Continue Reading
We always love to see projects where you can build your own lab equipment so [CompactDIY’s] homemade seismograph caught our eye. The design uses an Arduino with an accelerometer and builds on one of their earlier projects. You can see a video of the device below. The principle is simple. A hobby servo controls a pen and

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The

In this instructable, I am going to show you what a servo motor is, how to use it, and ideas for starting projects using it. I used arduino to control my servo, I added how to use a 555 in some of the later steps. Step 1: What is a Servo motor If you are

n this Instructable we will simulate an Toll Booth Gate by using a manual Push Button to open and close the gate. How Does It Work? When the vehicle comes in front of the gate, the push button is pressed & the gate is opened, this is done by sending a command via microcontroller to the servo to open the gate
Manual Controlled Toll Gate Using Push Button Continue Reading
We have build car using many transmission technologies. But what about a WiFi Controlled Car? Actually speaking..Wifi is till now the most promising technology and engineers are using that tech to improve it more and more. This tech is most popular today and will remain for decades.Low power WiFi have also been developed.So let us
