Instructables user mariosk8s writes: After having to drill a bunch of circuit boards, i came to the conclusions that there had to be a better way to perform target practice. So i ordered a laser pointer and dug out an old broken set of helping hands. The helping hands were really helping this time. Drill […]
Awesome R/C Delta Wing flyer, dubbed The Towel, you can make in a few hours out of Dow insulation blue board, an R/C rig, and model plane parts. They’ve even put together a parts bundle of all the mechanics and radio for under $100. The Towel V1.0
I really like the tones this DIY pipe organ is able to produce. I would love to see this adapted to an Arduino or other micro-controller so it could play by itself. Then again, I would like to see almost anything automated with a micro-controller! Hopefully this will eventually be turned into a full instructable […]
Using an Arduino, thermistor, and a bit of software, Peter built a temperature sensor capable of reporting readings via Gmail, or even speech – After recently getting my hands on an Arduino Duemilanove, I came across this Sketch on Arduino Playground that allowed an Arduino to function as a temperature measuring device with the addition […]
Earning high marks for its cuteness factor + good intentions, we find the unusually convenient breadcrumb bird feeder. Certainly easier access for the feathered consumers out there – I’m guessing permanent setup & operation may prove somewhat problematic. As Arwen @ CRAFT points out, this idea could easily be adapted to gather vegetable scraps for […]
Thanks Lass! Have you tried CraftRobo? Could you do something similar to this by hand? How would you do the design work to make gears and other mechanisms? What software would you use? Add your ideas to the comments, and contribute your photos and video to the MAKE Flickr pool.
CommonCraft has a neat way of explaining complex ideas. They use a simple format of paper cutouts and figures with a voiceover. Recently, there has been a bunch of buzz about Twitter, and a number of references have been made to their work explaining how Twitter works. Here they explain Google Documents: There are so […]
