Matth3w’s Swiss AVR Knife conveniently packs several microcontroller projects into a single ATtiny84 chip – Because of the flexibility afforded by microcontroller programming, it also provides a starting point for any number of projects based on LEDs and sound output. The SAK can contain as many programs as the 8K of memory permits and maintains […]
Wow, I’ve never seen an electronics station helping hands setup as extravagant as this one by instructables user mblasberg: Need a Hand? This is a mashup of several very clever instructables and an Article from MAKE. While soldering and working on circuits I was having a lot of trouble holding wires/components for soldering and also […]
Here’s a fun project, and a feat in soft circuitry for sure: the musical bra, with very detailed instructions!
Hannah Perner-Wilson made this simple tilt-sensing bracelet using pads of conductive fabric and a metal beaded charm. The charm dangles and moves, touching one or two of the pads at a time, which can indicate which way your wrist is facing! Great for body-reactive sound and visuals in dance performance.
Instructables user wholman made this nine-square chair from an old road sign by combining techniques from two other instructables. Looks nice! From the pages of MAKE, Volume 15: Street Spam Lounger built by Sean Ragan, article by Ed Troxell. Preview in our Digital Edition.
Here’s an unusual goal for a project – nothing. Though designed for apparently no productive results, the simple hand-operated Do-Nothing (aka Kentucky Do-Nothing) is capable of drawing ellipses if outfitted with a writing implement – plus it could definitely teach those new to basic woodworking a thing or two. In fact making a do-nothing is […]
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 […]
