Today we are constructing an Arduino-based Automatic Pet Feeder that can dispense food to your pet at scheduled times. It includes a DS3231 RTC Module to establish the feeding schedule for your pet with accurate time and date settings. Therefore, the device will automatically dispense or refill the food bowl at the set time based […]
Description A durable, 3D printed, remote controlled Arduino based robot with several hundred meters range. A modular quick-connect motor scheme lets you rapidly prototype different robot designs without any tools. Perfect for robotics education for kids. Whats it all about? So you’ve just started learning Arduino, or maybe 3D printing and your ready to build
Meet Chartreuse! Chartreuse’s face follows you when you walk by. When she sees you, her eyes turn yellow and she gets a happy expression in her eyes. As you walk away, her eyes change to blue and she sadly turns away. Chartreuse is powered by an Arduino Uno, two servos, and a stepper motor and
This is our dog Bailey. She’s part Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog so sometimes she’s smarter than her own good, especially when it comes to telling time and knowing when she should be eating dinner. Typically, we try to feed her around 6 PM but this isn’t always easy if we’re away from home.
The inverted pendulum is a classic problem in dynamics and control theory that is generally elaborated in high-school and undergraduate physics or math courses. Being a math and science enthusiast myself, I decided to try and implement the concepts that I learned during my classes to build an inverted pendulum. Applying such concepts in real life not

Video of the working device Trying to build a cheap Arduino Data Glasses for everybody. Why? I just wanted one. It’s working, and now it can even help to avoid accidents. From the first idea to the working prototype, it took 4 Month The challenge was, that It should be constructed out of common materials
These frames are connected to the internet, which allows you to instantly send a kiss to a loved one. When my boyfriend and I were in a long distance relationship (for one and half years!), we communicated anyway that we could. We talked on the phone, sent presents and cards, fought through text and would
RepRap Update I have finally printed all the plastic parts for the Griffin Open Source 3D printer I’m building, and they look fantastic! The remaining components should arrive soon, and then I can start construction. In the meantime, I’ve been configuring the printer control board, an Arduino Mega 2560 with the RAMPS 1.4 extension. RAMPS

Bottom line: Repurposing obsolete hardware is a popular pastime among the tech community, and the latest project from the YouTube channel Artillect is a fine example of what’s possible when thinking outside of the box. Is it practical? No, not really. Is it neat? Absolutely. Riley took a Brother AX-25 electronic typewriter from the late 1980s that utilizes
Ender 3 Marlin What is Marlin Firmware? Marlin firmware holds the title of being the most commonly used 3D printer firmware worldwide. Operating on an 8-bit controller board makes it cost-effective, and it is completely open source and available for use at no charge. Companies like Creality, the manufacturer of the Ender 3, benefit greatly
