These robot cubes, called BOXZ, use an interesting interlocking part design to mount and protect the parts within. But to really make them pop you need to color and apply your own papercraft skins. The actual hardware is quite simple. They’ve used an Arduino, along with motor driver and Bluetooth shields, to control a set [...]
For his most ambitious build to date, [Param] thought it would be a cool idea to have a LED matrix display spitting tweets out via a WiFi connection. The build is now done, and we’ve got to hand it to him for a very nice build. The build is based on an Arduino with a [...]
This motorcycle helmet was heavily altered to accept all of the hardware that goes into driving that huge array of LEDs. [Brian Cardellini] built it to wear at burning man. He claims to have been in over his head with the project, but we certainly don’t get that feeling when we see the thing in [...]
[Michiel] gave us a little shout-out by drawing the Hackaday logo with his recently completed 16×8 pixel laser projector. It uses a spinning set of mirrors mounted at slightly different angles to redirect the path of the red laser diode. The projector is driven by an Arduino. To give it more than just a hard-coded [...]
[V0R73X], who is 17 has been working on a project, to build A robotic arm. This project started out as a challenge put forward from one of his school teachers to build a robotic arm for $200. [VoR73X] accepted, and the challenge began. He came up with a robotic arm that can be controlled from his mobile phone and [...]
If you have an upcoming long distance move and you're concerned about thieves breaking into your moving truck you can rig up a motion alarm system that will send a text message as well as trigger an au...
When you think of DIY hardware, genetic research tools are not something that typically comes to mind. But [Stacey] and [Matt]‘s OpenPCR project aims to enable anyone to do polymerase chain reaction (PCR) research on the cheap. PCR is a process that multiplies a specific piece of DNA a few million times. It can be used [...]
For all the Arduino-based video game builds we’ve seen, we’re really only left with a bunch of 2D platformers and other sprite-based games. [Reimecker] wasn’t satisfied with this level of computational complexity, so he ported the 3D game engine made famous by Duke Nukem 3D to the Arduino (German, Google translation). [Reimecker]‘s project is based on the [...]
