Paul from Litiholo wrote us to show off a little project they’re doing for Halloween. They’ve made this little spooky skeleton hologram in a casket that flashes to life when someone hits the doorbell. Look, we know that this is pretty much just an ad for their DIY hologram kits, but we were passing this…
How you can read from his Twitter profile, Dale Dougherty is the Founder of MAKE Magazine and creator of Maker Faire. I had the opportunity to interview him about the makers, about Arduino and Raspberry Pi and obviously about the open-source world. Boris Landoni – We often hear the word “Maker”, but what features…
The LittleArm is a largely 3D printed robot powered by an Arduino and a couple metal-gear servos. It usually retails for $115, but I noticed they’ve got a holiday special going right now for $95. According to Gabe Bentz, the creator, the story of LittleArm is a quite refreshing one: In the Summer of 2016,…
Adafruit began their Feather ecosystem endeavor last year with the introduction of the Feather 32u4 Basic Proto, a tiny (51mm×23mm×8mm) development board outfitted with an ATmega32u4 SoC, 20 GPIO pin-out and an onboard prototyping section. What made the board unique was its integrated battery charger (for LiPo batteries), making it a portable board that could…
The Raspberry Pi Pirate Radio is one of our favorite builds here at Make:, so it was an obvious pick to port to the new board. In case you missed our first crack at Pirate Radio, try it building it while you wait for your Pi Zero to arrive. PiFM was originally written by Oliver Mattos…
The Maker and MIT aerospace engineer Adam Woodworth did this incredible drone, replicating the imperial drone with engine special effects too. Amazing! Over the past decade or so, I’ve been building a new RC airplane every month or so. Some are big, some are small, but all of them are unique. Building is my favorite part of…
MichielD99 is a 16 year old Belgian teenage maker. It is amazing that, with the tools and materials available today, a young person, really any person, can create something as sophisticated and professional-looking as this laser engraver. To drive the machine, he used an Arduino UNO with two NEMA-17 stepper motors and stepper motor drivers…
For their 2016 guide, Make:’s team of testers and makers brought together the top performing 3D printers in five individual classes, the best CNC mills in three classes and their top two resin printers. Aleph Objects won the “Best Overall” award for its LulzBot TAZ 5, as well as the “Outstanding Open Source” award. According…
Take any 3D printer, throw on this modular head, and use it as an EDM machine to do precise metal carving. Exciting stuff! Electro-Discharge Machining or “spark erosion” is a fairly specialized field that not many hobbyists are familiar with. The technique flips traditional electrical design upside down by trying to maximize a phenomenon that…
From arduino blog: MAKE Magazine has just released Volume 36 focused on exploring the world of boards and including a detailed photo illustration of the evolution of Arduino. To dowload a hi-res version click on the image. via Arduino Blog » Blog Archive » Evolution of Arduino: the family tree.
Make recently published a link to this amazing project from Seedstudio 🙂 What do you get when you add a touchscreen shield and a GPRS shield to an Arduino Uno? A phone! Seeed Studio created a Arduino phone intstructable to help you put the parts together. You can download the circuit board designs and Arduino library from their github repository, as well as…
Quite an interesting project on Make, we need definitely more DIY, cheap 3D scanners. A comprehensive description is availabe on the website. Maker Alessandro Grossi sent us this great DIY build for a 3D scanner built using a laser, a DSLR, and an Arduino controller. Allesandro is a Mechanical Engineer, holding a Ph.D. in product design….
