Usually there are two ways to look forward to buy a Raspberry Pi: first, think about a strange thing to make, and then go to the website; or second, buy the Raspberry Pi board having no idea of what you are going to do with it. Usually, I buy things and only after that I…
To create a PCB with 3Drag , by milling , it is necessary to have the G-Code files for the tracks patterning and for the holes relating to the printed circuit board itself. In this section we describe how to obtain these G-Code files using a specific plugin for the popular PCB design software ”…
How to create the G-code files from any gerber file (using PCBMill software) necessary to create a PCB with 3Drag, by milling. To create a PCB with 3Drag, by milling, you need the G-Code files for the tracks patterning and for the holes pertaining to the printed circuit board itself. In this section we describe…
[youtube id=”euv3kv9kpEg” width=”620″ height=”360″] After a fair amount of work we can finally presents you a tutorial on how to modify our 3Drag printer or K8200 printer to transform it in a perfect CNC milling machine, to be used for the production of PCBs, by incision. In addition, we also show you the procedures to…
[youtube id=”b18k8dLhr1w” width=”620″ height=”360″] We’re a Finnish start-up company which specializes in active green walls which can purify air 100x better than traditional green walls. Few years ago we were in a need for easy way to get our green walls use GSM network to communicate with our servers. In the very first prototype we…
IKEA’s Figgjo, is designed to be a mirror, but with a little ‘electronic can becomes fascinating light equipped wall clock. It’s a round mirror, from which twelve evenly spaced rays and this makes it perfect for a clock base. The twelve rays with small round mirrors will be our hours, while the circumference of…
There is a new project for halloween. This is a small modification to a lamp with tunnel effect commercialized by Velleman. There are different types and colors of this lamps, we chose this one because is very simple to find. The model that we modified uses 18 LEDs (red blue and green) and two fake…
[iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/jtB6e36J7w4?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] We create a lamp controlled by SMS using a GSM shield, a RGB shield and a Arduino UNO. Due to the simplicity of these boards, simply plug one over the other and connect a strip led to have a lighting effect. Then sending normal text messages from any…

[iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/_TeYH0ZqGm0?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] We create an application based on Arduino, that allows you to control brightness and color of a RGB strip LED via local network or Internet through a WiFi or Ethernet shield How it works The system that we propose is based on the Arduino UNO, on which are mounted two…
[iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/-UILW2sY4IY?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] In the previous post we showed you how to make small Christmas shapes using an RGB LED and a small circuit based on PIC. The designs were obtained working with the CNC some acrylic sheets. But our CNC can do much more … Therefore we decided to make the greatest…
Very few components, plexiglass and a CNC are the ingredients to make wonderful brilliant figures to decorate the Christmas tree or our house this Christmas and New Year. Let’s see how to do it. With the LED is possible to do things that with the traditional sources of artificial light was not allowed, like signs…
I love IKEA and her low cost products. Last week I found this STRÅLA lamp. The cost is $4.99, so I bought it. Lighting the lamp I saw that it ‘s very pretty but also … too soft… So I thought to modify the LED and add a RGB led. With simple modify you can obtain a dinamic…
