Home made CNC Router

“This is the toughest project for me among all of my previous builds and also consumes my lot of money and time, but the end result brings a huge smile on my face when I saw the complete build. I …

How to make a Miniature Tesla coil

“Tesla coil is a radio frequency oscillator that drives an air-core double-tuned resonant transformer to produce high voltages at low currents.Tesla’s original circuits as well as most modern coils use a simple spark gap to excite oscillations in …

How to Make Relay Circuit Board For Arduino

“A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to mechanically operate a switch, but other operating principles are also used, such as solid-state relays. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by …

Inside the 74181 ALU chip: die photos and reverse engineering

“What’s inside a TTL chip? To find out, I opened up a 74181 ALU chip, took high-resolution die photos, and reverse-engineered the chip.1 Inside I found several types of gates, implemented with interesting circuitry and unusual transistors. The …

IoT made simple: Monitoring temperature anywhere

“It’s amazing how quickly you can put together an IoT protect using a NodeMCU and a Blynk app. On this tutorial we will learn about a great, reliable and easy to use digital temperature sensor, the DS18B20. Also as …

Lego Compatible Name Display

“This project uses any number of Lunchbox Electronics Matrix Kits that you want to chain together and create a display for your name. You’ll need one kit per letter and you can use as many boxes as you want …

Lipo-battery Powered Arduino

“I’ve always wanted to use cheap lipo battery used in drone and RC car to power my arduino, but since I didn’t found any tutorials about it, I thought this was probably a bad idea. Anyway, that didn …

Mapping a Room with Ultrasonic Distance Sensors

“Ultrasonic distance sensors like the HC-SR04 work by emitting a tiny pulse of ultrasonic sound and then measuring the time taken to return. These are typically used to detect the presence of obstacles around things like a quadcopter, robotic …

Piano Pi - Play a Duet With Your Pi!

“In this tutorial you will learn a simple way to program your Pi using Sonic Pi to create a piano accompaniment. Remember the piano scene in the move Big? You will be programming the bass part of the song they …

PicoDetector : a PIC-based simple and cheap metal detector

“The idea of this circuit is to hack PIC oscillator circuit, by replacing the crystal by a coil : the frequency of the oscillator then depends on presence of metal near the coil, just like in a classic metal detector. To …
