SilverHalo’s Digital thermostatic beer refreshment regulator – he writes… This is my work in building an Arduino based digital thermostat for controlling my DIY kegerator. The project is based around the Arduino and uses a LM35 sensor for temperature measurement, a solid state relay for turning on/off the refridgerator, and a serial LCD panel for […]

I built this by first constructing a mold out of MDF, and by embedding LEDs into the surface of the mold. The control/batteries are located behind a panel on the bottom, and all the wires […]
Espresso geeks are always trying to measure and adjust the pressure and temperature of our machines to make better shots. Like the gearhead distinction between theoretical engine horsepower and actual power to the wheels of a car, we don’t always trust the boiler manometer, and want to know what the pressure is right at the […]
From the MAKE Flickr pool, user SUB Boy Photography writes: This is the ThingaMunny, aka “The Goblinator.” It incorperates my two favorite DIY kits; Kid Robot’s Munny, and Bleep Labs’ Thingamakit. Thanks to Bleep Labs, Kid Robot, and HackADay. PS: Can anyone guess what I used for the jetpack?
HOW TO – Fool a stoplight into thinking your bike is a car – The Loop Sensor Activator via Core77. A common problem for bicyclists, and in particular for bicycle commuters, is the traffic loop sensor. These are the devices which detect the presence of vehicles to control the sequencing of traffic lights at many […]
