I saw a really cool video of a PC case called “Snowblind“, that had a transparent LCD Screen as a side panel. I was amazed over how cool it was. The only problem was that it was really expensive. Therefore, I tried making my own! In this instructables I will go through how I…
When we use the soldering iron we should avoid breathing the smoke that is created by heating the material, especially if we do it daily or if we use a lead-based solder. And so, in defense of his lungs, Jeremy S Cook added a fume extraction fan to his welding station. However, without proper power…
We’ve all seen plenty of impressive free-form soldering in these pages, maybe some of us have even had a go ourselves. Using nothing but bare conductors, electronic components, and solder, complex and beautiful electronic sculptures can be created. But the latest free-form project from [Jiří Praus] takes the medium to a new level, as he’s taken…
Inspired by Yoshii Kazuya’s laser-spiked outfit, github user abetusk decided to create an excellent version of the getup by embedding 128 laser diodes in his own jacket. These lasers are powered by an Arduino Nano, along with a pair of I2C PWM output boards, allowing them to be switched in sets of four. The lasers…
Just few weeks ago, the maker Electronoobs announced the Homemade Soldering Iron v1.0, but unfortunately it encountered many problems from the beginning: the design was held back by the quality of the $5 replacement soldering iron tips he designed it around. Now Electronoobs is back with the second version of the Soldering Iron and this time it’s…
Hexabitz is a novel modular electronic prototyping system. Each module or bit comes in a specific shape or size. Either hexagon (hence the name Hexabitz), pentagon, rectangle, square or triangle. Modules are soldered together horizontally to make larger electronic boards or arrays. You can easily combine modules in any shape or configuration you want. The resulting board will be…
Solderdoodle Pro 2.0 is a portable, cordless, improved ergonomic design based in the original Solderdoodle USB rechargeable soldering iron. Again, the project is looking for funding on Kickstarter and is still long way from the objective Solderdoodle Pro does what other portable soldering irons have failed to do, and that’s the ability to last at full…
Great cool project for a solar powered soldering doodle. You can also get the instructions on how to build the Solderdoodle prototype on your own. And maybe back the ending campaingn! http://www.instructables.com/id/Solderdoodle-Open-Source-USB-Rechargeable-Solderin/ What is Solderdoodle? Solderdoodle is a portable, cordless, USB rechargeable soldering iron. It is based off my original Open Source project: “Solar Powered Soldering…
