[Lewis] of [DIY Machines] was always on the lookout for that perfect something to hang above the couch. After spending a lot of time fruitlessly searching, he designed and built this awesome shelving unit with recessed lighting that doubles as a huge 7-segment clock. The clock part works as you probably expect — an Elegoo…
If you don’t have a ready source of high voltage, here’s an easy way to build one from the aptly-named [HVZapp]. The parts list is pretty simple to acquire, except for the transformer. For that, [HVZapp] raided a broken arc lighter. It took us a minute to realize that the MOSFETs are in parallel. The hand-drawn…
Use your Raspberry Pi to control 16 syncronized Full HD screens. More info
Flappy Bird was released by programmer Dong Nguyen in 2013, and made use of a straightforward game mechanic to create an addictive hit. Tapping the screen provided ‘lift’ to the main character, which is used strategically to navigate through a series of moving pipes. A point is scored for each pipe successfully passed. The…
Hi Makers! A while back I got Raspberry Pi, but I didn’t really know what to do with it. Recently, Minecraft has come back into popularity, so I decided to set up a Minecraft server for me and my friends to enjoy. Well, it turned out to just be me : /. Anyway, now…
One of the upsides of working from home, especially when my 7 year old is off school is that I am available most of the time for the occasional quick cuddle, to laugh at something silly she’d just done or help her with something. One of the downsides is that at any time she…
https://youtu.be/gzwXQVzDB_U Our design is a sign that illuminates when icy road conditions are possible warning drivers to proceed with caution. We have created a metal sign that is white with a blue LED snowflake design. The snowflake has evenly spaced blue lights that light up when directed by the Raspberry Pi. All of the…
A few months ago….. I got hold of a really old wired speaker from somewhat 2004 (I think so), from my father’s friend. They knew my hobby of opening things apart. 🙂 Coming back to the speakers, the one I got was really in bad shape, the body was all dirt coloured. I tried plugging…
Here we go! This is a very programming-heavy project, but I think it has a pretty good reason to be. The Evdev library that we use doesn’t have a lot of resources on reading from analog sticks, so I wanted to focus on that specifically in this tutorial. More info
Bourns’ built-in thermal cut-off devices adds extra protection from faults directly on USB Type-C cables. More info
https://youtu.be/lK4v-6xzSEA This post will tell you everything you need to know about MQTT communication which will enable you to use it communicate between devices. We add an LED to the Arduino Nano 33 IoT board and this LED is controlled remotely from a switch that is connected to a WeMos D1 mini board. All communication…
Just when we think we’ve peeped all the cool baby keebs out there, another think comes along. This bad boy built by [andyclymer] can be configured three different ways, depending on what kind of control you’re after. As designed, the PCB can be used as a six-switch macro keyboard, or a rotary encoder with two…
