Build a smart planter with Adafruit PyPortal and CircuitPython. Monitor your plants vitals with Adafruit STEMMA Soil Sensor and plot moisture and temperature data. Use Adafruit IO to create a visual dashboard with gauges of your plants water levels. The display shows an animation of the water levels and moisture and temperature values. The planter…
Is you transistor running hot and needs cooling down? If you do not have a heatsink handy to make it run cooler in your amazing new idea that you are prototyping then this project is going to show you to create a heatsink for it. More info Try Fishino boards, our 100% Arduino compatible boards.
Design a laser cutter and make the building process repeatable for others. The result is an affordable and easy to maintain system for everybody. Laser cutters are traditionally expensive ($30,000 to as much as you can spend) and there are a lot of artist, hackers, architects, designers, DIYers who could do great things with them-…
If you are in trouble with hot temperatures you can’t miss this DIY gadget, an Arduino-powered buzzer and led alert hat. While temperature increases leds change temperature from green to red and when it’s very hot a buzzer begins to play. More info
YouTuber MrTeslonian created an automatic fishing pole for someone with a serious disability. While this would seem like a daunting task, he was able to build one using a spring-loaded mechanism, a number of motors, and an Arduino board. His portable device takes commands over WiFi, allowing control from a smartphone or computer. When…
https://experiments.withgoogle.com/tiny-sorter/view/assets/img/hero/hero_wide.mp4 Getting started with physical computing and machine learning can be pretty intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be! Meet Tiny Sorter, a DIY experiment that teaches you how to build a sorter by connecting Arduino and Teachable Machine. It’s a little machine that you can easily make with a piece of paper — just…
Are you a diy enthusiast? Do you like electronics and model building? If the answer is ‘Damn, yes!”, don’t miss this project: an open-source traffic-light with Arduino and Neopixel rings. It seems to be a good starting point for all those who are now approaching to Arduino projects. Discover, invent, create, share! …
Have you tried to test a battery capacity? How much was it difficult? Now a new DIY instrument allows you to identify a fake Lithium-Ion/Lithium-Polymer/NiCd/NiMH battery. You can also see on the LCD user interface to check the capacity of almost any kind of battery whose voltage il less than 5V. More info
All my dream is to done a full animatronic object in working condition. But it need lot of mechanism and costly too. So i plan for some thing cheap and wonderful. Then I plan it for sorting hat with the resources around me. I use 5 servo motors and an Arduino to control this…
I was listening to Dale Carnegie‘s “How to stop worrying and start living” and thought I needed to be reminded once in a while of his good advice. But I did not want the wall to have a bunch of framed quotations. So I made this daily inspirational quotes frame, and placed it…
Augmented Arthropod by Grzegorz Lochnicki and Nicolas Kubail Kalousdian is an innovative self-balancing robot that is actually piloted by the movements of an insect placed inside a plastic case using two HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors. The structure for the build consists of three platforms separated on threaded rod and a couple of rather standard DC gear…
A new Raspberry Pi stepper motor and DC bonnet has being designed by Adafruit and is now available to purchase from their online store priced at $22.50. The Raspberry Pi bonnet can drive up to 4 DC or 2 stepper motors with full PWM speed control offering a great solution for robotics, DIY milling machines…
