DIY Turntable Photography Project

    A picture is a great way to show off a product, you can even take some pictures of the back and sides so the potential purchaser can see the product from other angles. How can you improve on this? Why not take pictures all around the item and play it like a 360 video. That is exactly what our friend Muris did. Check out his DIY Turntable Photography

The Ard-Vark - Simple iPhone iPad interfacing to Arduino

    Check out this new project called The Ard-Vark. If you know someone who is interested in getting into microcontrollers but programming is a bit daunting this system might be just the thing for them. Thanks for sending this in Kerwin and good luck with the project! “Kerwin Lumpkins wrote: Hello. A new kickstarter tech project for DIY folk that would like to add electronics and motor control to

DIY Laminar Flow Water Fountains

  Watch the video above for a nice description of what needs to be done to make a DIY laminar flow water fountain on the cheap. There are lots of different DIY designs and ideas from the community that are variations on this idea. See other ideas below.       Kanal von Magicmastera has made quite a few videos documenting his Laminar Flow Water Fountain build process. The installation

DIY Android Portable Media Player

  Check out this DIY Android Portable Media Player that the guys over at The daily life of a DIY person put together.They took a cheap FM radio and hacked in an Android device to make it into a very functional media player. This reminds me a bit of the Chumby.  I could see using this to listen to a podcast before going to bed and waking me up in

Temperature and Humidity Meter using an Arduino and Sensirion SHT11 Sensor

  This Temperature and Humidity Sensor Project was built by Dave from Plastibots. The project was made to determine if Dave and his wife needed a new humidifier. Instead of going to Home Depot and purchasing a humidity meter he did what any resourceful geek would do, he built his own meter. This meter is probably more accurate than most store bought devices also thanks to the  Sensirion SHT11 sensor that

Micro Arduino Robot

    This is a cute Micro Arduino Robot actually has a ton of on-board computing power. It isn’t using much of the programmability that the Arduino affords yet but the sky is the limit. This tiny robot uses a sophisticated distance sensor that is used to avoid obstacles, I can see this little thing being able to map a room or run a maze in the near future. Via:

RC Car brains swapped with an Arduino

  Randy Sarafan, the Technology Editor at Instructables built this programmable car platform by taking an off the shelf RC Car and swapped its brains with an Arduino. This allows the new car to have sensor capabilities and programmability. Randy installed a PING ultrasonic sensor in the front of the vehicle so that it can avoid running into objects but the possibilities are endless now that you can write code
