If you are a lover of Retrogaming and do not have the possibility to use the original controllers with the cable, this project is for you. Specifically, an adapter has been built that allows you to use a PlayStation 3 controller on the Nintendo Gamecube in a completely wireless way. The adapter consists of an…
To be more motivated during exercise, Nikolas has decided to make a Smart pull-up bar using an Arduino Nano which, when you start exercising, will start playing music and will give it a Tic Tac at each set period of time as a prize. A laser diode and photoresistor located at opposite ends of the…
Who has never left their phone in one place and realized too late that they have lost it? In this project we will look for a solution to the problem; whenever you are too far away from your phone, “Don’t Lose Me” will blink and whistle, as well as your phone will play an annoying…
This ECG (electrocardiogram) unit has an integrated 2.8 “display. The latter can show individual heartbeats in two different formats and a Poincaré texture. It is battery powered and can be worn around the neck on a lanyard. The device is based on an Arduino Nano, which receives data from ECG sensors and displays them on…
Although it is human nature to touch one’s face for a variety of reasons, such behavior can facilitate the transmission of viruses and other diseases. If sheer willpower isn’t enough to avoid it, the head-mounted DesignMaker blueprint can be helpful. The device will give you a slap on the forehead when your hands and fingers…
If you are a Maker you have probably had to measure the doses of epoxy and maybe get the wrong ratio. If so, with this project we will see how to build an epoxy resin vending machine inspired by beverage dispensers. The project is based on an Arduino Nano that controls two 12V solenoid valves…
Most bench drills have a ruler to read the drilling depth. The greater the accuracy at which the desired position can be read, the greater the success of the job. In this project we see an alternative proposal: a display in which we see the drilling depth thanks to a gyroscopic sensor and an 8-digit…
It is probably the most incredible project you will see today. This is a totally in house built Hovercraft with the air cushion built with garbage bags. At the base of everything there is an Arduino Nano that controls the different motors with various ESCs with different current ranges. There is a 20×4 character i2c…
In this project we will see how to build a programmable countdown timer in the range of 1s – 9999s which can be used in domestic or industrial applications as well as by beginners to learn how to assemble an electronic module and load a program. During the selected time interval, the system can power…
Have you ever wondered why smartphones are called smartphones? Because they are smart, right? They do some jobs automatically, intelligently. This is the short answer. For example, mobile phones have an automatic brightness control system, which is very useful. But for unknown reasons, computers don’t have an automatic brightness control system. To change the brightness,…
If you often happen to make solenoids, tesla coils, inductors, electromagnets or coils in general, you may want to consider building this project or just take inspiration to make bigger ones. The system is composed of several PVC pipes that form the structure, an Arduino Uno, two NEMA17 stepper motors controlled by the special shield…
The idea for this project came to its creator when he began researching the principle behind commercially available pet dispensers; these all work the same and the difference in monetary terms depends on the controller used. An important point though is that these purchasable food dispensers are generally designed for specific applications, for example the…
