Michael Pick created this huge Nintendo Switch as, due to the compactness, the original is easy to lose. He created a fully functional console starting from a TV and a Nintendo switch by combining them with wooden and 3D printed parts. Inside there is an Arduino Uno that reads the pressure of the giant 3D…
In this project we will see how a machine was built that takes out your tea bag when the previously set time expires. The Steampunk-style structure was built with 4mm plywood cut out using a laser engraver. As for the electronics, there is an Arduino Nano that controls a servo motor after the set time…
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…
If you have a dog and want to keep it entertained even when you are out of the house, you could do a similar project. It is a device that throws the ball after inserting it into the upper cavity, so your dog can play in total autonomy. The project is based on a Teensy…
Anyone can learn robotics, but what if there was a practical and inexpensive approach? This is where “Boca” comes in. Boca is a 3D printed open source platform for manufacturers and researchers interested in exploring control theory and Machine Learning. Boca has eight degrees of freedom, thanks to the 8 servo motors, with some great…
If you need to strip a cable or two, that’s easy enough. However, if you have to strip and cut several dozen cables all to the same length it becomes a boring thing. This is why Mr innovative has created a machine that cuts or creates surface cuts to facilitate peeling in user-defined points. The…
In this project I present you an easy and economic way to convert a touch toggle light switch with a face plate similar to the one in the image above, to a touchless one you can manage waving your hand or from your mobile. The brain of this project is an ESP8266 board and a…
Otto DIY + would be the improved and advanced version of original #OttoDIY, the idea is to have the same base features DIY robot with Arduino Nano + Bluetooth control and programming + metal gear servo motors + optional rechargeable + changing modes by touch sensor + sound sensor + …? The exciting part is…
James Bruton has just created an Arduino-powered robot that is able to boil an egg for you (for now), but he’s planning to expand its repertoire as a sort of ongoing theme/project. The robot first holds an egg in a metal basket and rotates it over a nearly boiling saucepan using a servo along with…
Mug-O-Matic is a 3-axis drawing robot that can customize coffee mugs. It uses markers to draw anything you want on a coffee mug via manual controls, calculated algorithms, or even g-code. The mug can be washed clean with warm soapy water or the drawing can be made permanent by baking it in the oven. In its…
How To Mechatronics has come up with a bender that not only twists wire left and right, but can rotate to create three-dimensional shapes. The 3d wire bending machine is powered by an Arduino Nano, which controls three stepper motors for wire manipulation via DRV8825 driver boards. A servo motor is also implemented in order…
The maker Marc Teyssier in collaboration with a team stretching across two universities in France have created a completely original accessory for your smartphone: MobiLimb, a robotic finger the plugs directly into your smartphone. The device uses an Arduino to interface with the phone or other smart device via its micro USB port, and powers a servo-actuated…
