We’ve been messing around with some industrial stepper motors at work. These Xylotex stepper motors are pretty cool.
We have an example here for interfacing with some CUBLOC modules.
We got the

Here’s a cool little project for capturing mouse!
This project captures a mouse by having a solenoid (electromagnet) drop a bucket over the mouse. The bucket is triggered by the mouse interrupting one of the infrared emitter/detector pairs around the bait. The enclosure that holds the electronics is mounted directly over the bait. Ok, so the “bucket” is actually a semi-clear storage container. The clear container allows
Here’s a nice little RC buggy for future reference on RC mods…
This was probably the most important thing to achieve. The R/C vehicle that I’m using has 2 servos, one to move the position of the front wheels and therefore controls steering and the other controls a mechanical speed controller (push it forwards and you go forwards, backwards and you reverse with an zone in the middle of not moving).
Servos are driven by a PWM signal which allows accurate positioni

Check out the update on CNC milling machine with cool software update with Mach3 CNC software. Now Garrett’s CNC milling machine runs much faster with the Mach3!
We’ve been playing around with Mach3, which supports Modbus I/O. This example uses one modbus output on a CUBLOC module t

This sh*ts da bomb! (That sucks when you stop skippin…)
The “Aquaskipper” is a human powered hydrofoil made by Inventist.com . It’s similar to the original Swedish Trampofoil, which is no longer available. There’s also one called the “Pumpabike” from South Africa.
They’re also called “hull-less watercraft” and “flapping wing propulsion vessels”. You bounce up and down to make the wing fly and propel you. If you stop you fall into the water and swim back to

Here’s a cool little science experiment to put out some fire.
Wow, check this out, you can make a cloud lamp using your old vodka bottle! cheers!
Here’s some cool looking homemade brushless motors made using some PC Hard drive parts and power tools…. wow!
My first home-built outrunner motor from hard drive stators (Western Digital Caviar). Motor designation is 280-10-6 as it has a 28dia x 10mm long stator. I used 6 windings of 3-strand 0.35mm wire with a delta connection and a distributed winding pattern. It spins 12,300 RPM @ 23.3A with a 8×4 Graupner SLIM prop.
This 350-20 is the biggest motor I’ve built so far. The 12-tooth
Here’s a cool little design for your future FM transmitter. (I’ve built similar ones before, the challenge is, can you build one that’s stereo and noise-free?)
Using the simple designs of Tetsuo Kogawa, Japanese engineer famous for “party radio” and “polymorphous radio,” Neighborhood Public Radio will spread the gospel of micro-transmission in a 3-hour build your own pocket micro-transmitter workshop. Bring your soldering iron (if you have one) and an Altoids tin… and Ne
