[youtube id=”5H85RDA5HEw” width=”620″ height=”360″] Today we present a mod of Dotklok, the product that we presented few months ago , with new features such as reading ambient temperature and controlling display brightness based on the ambient light. The whole thing can be controlled remotely via a standard TV remote control. Open firmware and hardware have…
To create a PCB with 3Drag , by milling , it is necessary to have the G-Code files for the tracks patterning and for the holes relating to the printed circuit board itself. In this section we describe how to obtain these G-Code files using a specific plugin for the popular PCB design software ”…
How to create the G-code files from any gerber file (using PCBMill software) necessary to create a PCB with 3Drag, by milling. To create a PCB with 3Drag, by milling, you need the G-Code files for the tracks patterning and for the holes pertaining to the printed circuit board itself. In this section we describe…
[youtube id=”euv3kv9kpEg” width=”620″ height=”360″] After a fair amount of work we can finally presents you a tutorial on how to modify our 3Drag printer or K8200 printer to transform it in a perfect CNC milling machine, to be used for the production of PCBs, by incision. In addition, we also show you the procedures to…
This post follows a first one in which we presented some tips about how to tune printing (with 3Drag but also in general). Here you’ll find 5 more cool 3D prints to experiment with! Porcupine Vase This is an easy print difficulties, with reduced printing times, but it’s. It belongs to the category of…
After countless hours of playing with 3Drag (now with a lower price!!) we finally selected 10 prints that you can use to explain what you can really make with your 3D printer. 3D printing is every day more often mentioned in the press: lots of stories, ranging from printing human tissues (thus saving lives) to creating…
Whether it’s a personal, store or product page, popularity at today is measured in Likes: the number of users who liked your page, photo or any other content you posted on Facebook is a key metric of customer engagement and potential success for your venture. That’s why we decided to put together some clever…
Someone had already imagined, someone else hoped for that, days ago, finally one of the most prominent actors of the Makers ecosystem, Makerbot, announced a commercial desktop 3D Scanner. The good news, for those concerned with the openness of such a system, is that, well before that move, developers already created it: it…
Code Bender, a cloud IDE for Arduino has been released to the public: Time to revolutionize the way you develop and hack on your projects. codebender is a platform that helps your next idea come to life. Whether you are a maker, a hardware hacker or an artist, codebender allows you to code on the…
In this post we present the design of a scale that connects to the Internet and automatically sends weight info on a Google Document. The project is composed of Arduino Uno board Wi-Fi shield additional shield that we used to manage data collection and I/O with a clear and comfortable and clear LCD display Velleman scale…
[iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/jtB6e36J7w4?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] We create a lamp controlled by SMS using a GSM shield, a RGB shield and a Arduino UNO. Due to the simplicity of these boards, simply plug one over the other and connect a strip led to have a lighting effect. Then sending normal text messages from any…
This short report is aimed to the most “advanced” users of Arduino boards, especially to the users of the “Mega” flavors of the family, but also users of standard versions of the board, like Arduino UNO and Arduino Duemilanove, can take advantage of the following notes. The story starts with the TiDiGino, one of the…
