It was a dream then a challenge, then it became a reality. The motivation was to teach to the young generations in preparatory, secondry and technical secondry schools in my country Egypt how to manufacture a walking Robot from simple and low-cost materials. Actually، I proposed this work to you because your opinions, comments…
With the production and construction of human beings, the air quality is getting worst. Traditional masks are too stuffy and the breathing experience is too bad, so I was wondering if I could make a futuristic and comfortable mask in this legendary punk cyber in 2020. More info
If the weather is anything but clear and sunny, the appropriate sun-obscuring weather actor, be it clouds, more clouds, rain, or lightning will swing into place, blocking out the blue sky in layers, just like real life. There’s a total of five weather-serving servos, and they’re all controlled by an Arduino Nano through a…
We introduced this concept last year, and have launched three games so far. Our final game of 2019 was SumoBots Battle Royale — where players from anywhere in the world can fight real robots in a battle royale-style arena. The aim of the project was to have the game run semi-autonomously, meaning that the…
After developing the Arduino based Pick & Place Robot the idea was to develop an Artificial Intelligent AI-based line following robot. Developing a simple line following robot was good for the beginner just what it needed to add some sort of infrared sensors instead of servo motors in my recent project. “The idea was to…
Flip displays are an interesting piece of technology, physically moving segments into place that stay put until other information is needed. Michael Klements has been especially fascinated by these devices, and after inspiration from another project, he decided to craft his own. His version utilizes 14 micro servos to flip segments into a visible position,…
It’s one thing to be able to transcribe music from a flute, and it’s another to be able to make a flute play pre-written music. The latter is what [Abhilash Patel] decided to pursue in the flute player machine, an Arduino-based project that uses an air flow mechanism and PVC pipes to control the notes…
In the latest Explaining Computers video, Christopher Barnatt explains how to use servo motors with Raspberry Pi. Using servos is a great introduction to the digital making side of computing; servos allow you to control the movement of all manner of project components with your Raspberry Pi and a motor controller attached to its…
This project goes over the process I used to create an automated cat food bowl, for my elderly diabetic cat Chaz. See, he needs to eat breakfast before he can get his insulin, but I often forget to pick up his food dish before I go to bed, which spoils his appetite and throws off…
The robot arm uses three conventional PWM servos, and each angle is controlled by a variable resistor. The rotary potentiometer used B curve 10k ohm. Two DS3115 servo motors were used in the vertical direction, and MG995 servo motor was used in the swing direction. More info
If you’d like to build your own vaguely humanoid robot, but don’t care about it getting around, then look no further than Aster. The 3D-printed bot is controlled by an Arduino Uno, with a servo shield to actuate its 16 servo motors. This enables it to move its arms quite dramatically as seen in the…
Build your own mini drawing bot! It’s a CNC-like machine that prints on paper what you draw on your smartphone. It’s an easy-to-make open source project which uses very cheap hardware. What are you waiting for? Give it a look! More info
