Making model train layouts is a great hobby, automating it will make it a lot better! Let us take a look at some of the advantages of its automation: Low-cost operation: The whole layout is controlled by an Arduino microcontroller, using an L298N motor driver, their cost is almost nothing as compared to traditional train control

A couple of years ago while looking for inspiration for a new animated Halloween prop we stumbled upon a video from YouTube contributor 68percentwater called Arduino Servo Pumpkin. This video was exactly what we were looking for, however, some of the details seemed to be missing. So, we decided we should record our build, with some modifications, so that others

Growing basil is great, but do you know what’s even better? Having an autonomous basil farm! As the saying goes: “never spend ten minutes doing something by hand, when you could spend 10 hours failing to automate it”. Although I may be bad at gardening, something I am good at is enthusiastically trying to solve

Interested in making a useless box? Building this project was a really fun experience for me. Having very little prior knowledge about circuits, making this simple gadget was a great introduction to circuits for me. And, it’s really fun to play with once completed! This project is meant for beginners with little or no experience
Purpose of the Project: To create a Zoetrope system with the button module and DC motor using the Pinoo control card. Duration: 2 lessons Age Group: 9 years and older Set Used: Pinoo Full Set Benefits: • Learns to code Pinoo control card • Learns to code the button module. • Dc engine learns to code. • Improves the
