If your Blu-ray player has gone from being the centerpiece of your home theater to a dust-collecting ornament, here’s a project for you. Doctor Volt recently published a post explaining how to transform a Samsung BD-J5900 Blu-ray...

In this project we will see a table football that detects the goals from both doors and displays the result on an android tablet. The circuit is very simple: an Arduino Mega detects goals through two photoresistors...

This instructable explains how to make an anemometer from an Arduino Uno R3, two VL6180X laser distance modules, and a section of plastic drain pipe or similar. Processing3 is used to display the wind speed and wind...

  Lasers have always intrigued me. I have two Helium-Neon Lasers (gas discharge, not solid state), one red the other green. I also have several laser pointers. I like lasers. Several years ago I came across an...

In this project we will see how to make an anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed and direction) using an Arduino Uno R3, two VL6180X laser distance modules and a section of tube made of plastic or...

Lasers are awesome. Glow-in-the-dark surfaces are, too. As seen here, Justin and Brett were able to combine the two into an excellent drawing machine made from scrap materials and discarded wood. Their device uses a pair of...

MotionPro 6600 is a new motion controller development board for any electronic project with moving parts such as milling machines, robots, mechanical arms, sliders or moving part machines. Designed for any application or project that uses stepper motors...

  It allows us to detect the presence and passage of an object thanks to the combination of a laser diode which emits a light ray and a phototransistor which detects reflected light.   Robotics applications and...

  By making use Raspberry Pi, we created an easy to build 3D scanner to be used for the acquisition of three-dimensional models via a video camera and a laser   3D printing keeps on establishing itself,...

MichielD99 is a 16 year old Belgian teenage maker. It is amazing that, with the tools and materials available today, a young person, really any person, can create something as sophisticated and professional-looking as this laser engraver....

May the Force be with you! Great project dedicated to all of us born in the “Star Wars saga” years. If you dreamed to be a Jedi or a Sith, now you can purchase on Kickstarter the...

Ok, this project is super cool, and that’s why indeed it got already funded exceeding the initial target and still you’ve few days to share your support: Mr Beam is an open source DIY laser cutter and...

Hacking 2 DVD RW writers and creating a Laser Engraver from it. Awesome: Note: If you don’t particularly care about the technical aspects of the project, skip to 13:45 to see the engraver in action! My code...

Quite an interesting project on Make, we need definitely more DIY, cheap 3D scanners. A comprehensive description is availabe on the website. Maker Alessandro Grossi sent us this great DIY build for a 3D scanner built using...
