Feeling fidgety or on edge while working from home? Don’t have a pet to torment play with? Pet, poke, and smoosh this office companion instead! See what makes it purr or lash out 😼. CIRCUIT Loomia Mini Pressure Matrix Loomia Serpentine Bus Arduino Nano Every with header pins and micro USB cable Vibration…
With this project you will be able to build your own fighting robot at home. The shell is laser engraved but of course you can also print it in 3D. The robot will be controlled by an Arduino Uno powered by two 18650 batteries charged by a normal charging module on the back. The robot…
This project demonstrates how to implement the system for only one motor. Actually robots require more than one motor. That’s why I developed software that can deal with up to four motors simultaneously. And that’s also the reason I chose a microcontroler more powerfull than a UNO and I chose ATMega 2560 More info
In this project we will control a DC motor with a smartphone via bluetooth, learning more about: DC motors Interfacing Arduino with your smartphone Bluetooth L293D IC More info
If you need a DC Motor for your next project, you can obviously buy it or you can build it! In order to assist with the winding process for a self-built motor, on thingiverse you can find an innovative fixture with two stepper motors and an Arduino Nano for control. Component needed : Arduino nano…
Maker “bicapitate” has shown on Imgur his new creation: a 1961 Western Electric Model 500 rotary phone converted into a cellphone using an Arduino sbc. The Western Electric Model 500 includes a generous amount of space inside, enough room in fact for an Arduino Uno along with a tiny Adafruit FONA module for cellular capabilities….
“In this project I will show you how I combined a couple steel pieces with an Arduino, an APA102 LED Strip and a Hall effect sensor in order to create a POV (persistence of vision) RGB LED Globe. WIth it you can create all kinds of spherical pictures or even letters which is a definite…
Moscow-based media artist Dmitry Morozov has created his electromagnetic/electromechanical organ by combining three small motors with a guitar pickup and a touch keypad: it’s called Motorgan. Motorgan uses two differently sized PC cooling fans, as well as a gear motor to produce various sounds. A separate keypad is used for each motor, and each of the…
If you want to truly impress your child or your grandkids, and perhaps entertain yourself at the same time, there are many things you could do. Building a 1/4-size railroad, however, has to be close to the top of the list. The entire project was inspired by a 1965 Popular Mechanics article, and includes a…
The robot, which will cost about $80 in parts, uses two stepper motors for greater movement precision than could be had with normal DC models. Regular DC motors can have mechanical friction and electric resistance differences. This can cause performance differences. As a result the robot will not move in a straight line. This bot…
A self-balancing robot is a great way to get introduced to control theory and robotics in general. The ability for a robot to sense its position and its current set of circumstances and then to make a proportional response to accomplish its goal is key to all robotics. While hobby robots might use cheap servos or…
It allows to change the revolutions per minute in any brushed motor that is powered by 12 to 35 Vcc, thanks to a handful of electric components and to the popular 555 timer. In different applications, such as for example electric drills and screwdrivers (and fans as well), it becomes necessary to adjust –…
