Arduino Based Aquaponics uses apduino to get things done. Kretzinger is able to configure the system to work as desired based on sensors and a large number of controlled pumps. He can get automated text messages when events occur or when something is going wrong with his system. He has plans to grow his system to use all of the spare land he has around his house before he
 This Propeller based heart project demonstrates how a heart actually works. The board looks great and the shape is heart shaped like a real heart (not the shape of the valentines chocolate boxes). Thanks for sending this in Jim. “This wearable LED heart simulator pendant was inspired by my work as a cardiovascular surgical nurse as well asmy love of electronics.  It simulates the electrical activity of 17
  An Arduino is being used here to power this Chess Playing Robot game that Max Justicz built. The assembly is built using drawer slides, some of these are very tight with some smooth ball bearing action. Nice thing about this platform is it could be used to play any board game that needs to have pieces moved around or as Max mentions, it could be made into a
Check out the cool WaterColorBot. It was dreamed up by Super Awesome Sylvia and helped to be created by Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories. I can see this be a great project for older school kids to put together and have the younger school kids use it. The Kickstarter has been funded so this is something that we will be seeing around. The robot is built from CNC router cut
Nice to see this Game Controller for the Physically Disabled. It is sure to help out many people. Caleb Kraft has made a new site for this project, check out The Controller Project. If you want to help out please get in tough with them! “Custom gaming controllers can mean a lot of things. They could be big easy buttons for someone with muscle control issues or they could be
Sean Michael Ragan shows us how he built the Bike Phone Charger project that Alastair Bland wrote for Make magazine. It uses an interesting component construction inside a plastic housing. I think a great addition to this project would be cram a small USB battery system in the housing so that the system charges a battery so that it could be used when the bike is stationary. “The charger circuit
Chris Rybitski just shared his latest project with us, it’s a Stage Platform Robot. It is a way to remotely move stage items around. He built a 9 inch tall robot that can drive around with 900 pounds on its back. He built the majority of the metal frame from square tubing that has been welded together. There is an Arduino controlling the robotics and a speed controller that
