FotoFish is a polaroid camera project, which uses a repurposed thermal printer to print the taken photograph instantly. It is created by the team at the OPENFAB, a Open Fabrication Lab at Özyeğin University in Istanbul, Turkey. The purpose of this project was to create a fun way for people to record their visits…
Using an Arduino Nano 33 IoT, Jithin Sanal designed a home monitoring system capable of detecting noxious gases with an MQ2 sensor as well as sensing temperature, pressure, humidity, and ambient light via a BME280 sensor and an LDR. All of this is mounted onto a custom PCB that’s powered by a 9V battery, or…
Modern woodworking tools are amazing, allowing you to make any number of useful or decorative objects from the comfort of your garage. Unfortunately, they also produce a lot of dust, so YouTuber “Atomic Dairy” came up with the idea to install an air purifier that can cleanse the shop air eight times per hour. This…
Schools are closed here in Germany until after Easter vacation, and that means that our almost-six-year-old son Max is staying at home with us. The good news is that my wife and I work from home anyway, so it’s not too stressful as long as he can look after himself for eight hours per…
Why a rotary cellphone? Because in a finicky, annoying, touchscreen world of hyperconnected people using phones they have no control over or understanding of, I wanted something that would be entirely mine, personal, and absolutely tactile,while also giving me an excuse for not texting. The point isn’t to be anachronistic. It’s to show that it’s…
Affordable IR thermal sensing in a compact form! You can now add affordable heat-vision to your project with an Adafruit MLX90640 Thermal Camera Breakout. This sensor contains a 24×32 array of IR thermal sensors. When connected to your microcontroller (or Raspberry Pi) it will return an array of 768 individual infrared temperature readings over I2C….
https://youtu.be/7rnk2qte4-I SunVox synth software allows you to create electronic music on a wide variety of platforms. Now, with his ZT-2020 project — which resembles a miniature arcade game — YouTuber “fascinating earthbound objects” has a dedicated input scheme. This cabinet prominently features a wide array of buttons, a directional input from a PlayStation controller, and…
Lasers are awesome. Glow-in-the-dark surfaces are, too. As seen here, Justin and Brett were able to combine the two into an excellent drawing machine made from scrap materials and discarded wood. Their device uses a pair of gearmotors under Arduino control to actuate a rack-and-pinion gantry system over a canvas painted with phosphorescent powder. A…
You may have a 3D printer or other “digital” tools like a laser engraver or CNC router, but what if you want to work with Styrofoam? As How To Mechatronics demonstrates in his latest project, many of the same techniques used there can be implemented to make your own Arduino-powered hot wire cutter. This build…
To keep a eye on the current Corona-Virus numbers I created this Programm wich displays the current stats to the Display. More info
https://youtu.be/Hfab9JSf1BA Just to make it very clear, this project is meant to provide some comic relief during these times, it’s not meant to disregard the severity of the current situation. Please follow the latest guidelines for your area, stay home, stay safe and take care of each other! More info
It seems that writer Dean R. Koontz was right and Coronavirus pandemic is spreading at high speed. Using airports method, scan your home visitors body temperature as soon as they ring the bell using IR remote temperature. If body temperature is normal ring the bell, otherwise an alarm will appear. Everything that has mass emits energy…
