I don’t think I will be building this DIY Induction Heater that Rich from RM Cybernetics built since I am still nursing a burnt finger from a stupid soldering iron incident. 🙂 But if you are careful this could be an interesting project. We have featured a few DIY induction heaters here before and the results are incredible. Not exactly the safest project to create but there are lots of
I was just catching up on some episodes of The Amp Hour and heard about this DIY Pick and Place Machine by Build Your Own CNC Router Machine. I love the fact that the entire thing has been constructed from everyday items. It isn’t the fastest thing but I love machines that you can program and walk away and get something else done while it completes the task. If you
Henrique Ribeiro de Oliveira from Brazil and two others have built this great Delta Robot with Vision. Best of all it is running a cool program to show off what it is capable of. You can toss some tokens randomly on the board, the robot will locate the tokens and place them on some colored dots in the middle of the working surface. Via: Hacked Gadgets Forum “We used Labview
We have seen a few Rotating POV Globe in the past. Scitech has a Arduino based Rotating POV Globe which looks quite nice, the refresh rate of the camera screws up the effect a bit but I assume it looks perfect in real life. “The Rotating POV Globe utilizes the arduino uno as the central control brain which contains an Atmel AVR microcontroller. Essentially we have a rotating ring which
When you squint a bit and loose scale these mandarin oranges look a bit like small pumpkins. I wanted to rev up the Halloween spirit around the house and without a real pumpkin to carve I settled for the next best thing. That is of course a laser etched pumpkin carving onto a mini orange which is lit from the inside using an LED. I wasn’t sure how it would

Considering the price you get a ton of technology packed in a small device. The first thing I noticed with mine is that it has a time
If you want to wear a set of glasses that will make you look like a cartoon character look no further than Blinking and Winking Laser Cut Eye Project. They can wink, blink and if you shine a bright light at them they will squint. If you are interested in making one for yourself Ben has made the Arduino code available here.
