As a second year STEM teacher, I’ve been using the Makey Makey kits with my 4th, 5th, and 6th graders to explore circuitry, electricity, and to just have some fun! Students have had their choice of projects, ranging from interactive displays to musical instruments using Makey Makey and Scratch, and have truly enjoyed applying the […]
Hey fellow DIY’ers. Have you ever found your house door open after returning from a long trip? Me neither. But it is always good to have a safety system in our houses. I’m not talking about the old school projects like a laser trip wire, no no, that’s boring. This is something from the future.
This Instructable can be modified for any major holiday, however my students wanted to focus on something they could do for Valentine’s Day. In this design, students’ hands are the conductive material that complete the circuit when they “high-five” the two halves of the heart. When the circuit is complete, the “space” input triggers a
This Instructable will show you how to use a WaveShare motor/servo board with a micro:bit to power multiple servo motors. This board will make it possible to run more powerful servo motors than the micro servo motor that you can run directly from the micro:bit. Technical information for the WaveShare board is here: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/Motor_Driver_for_mi… There is
I was working on an unrelated project that utilizes Bluetooth, I had to test the communication so I built one of the Arduino test circuits. The light contains all of the electronics, microcontroller and battery which can be recharged VIA USB. It uses really strong magnets to attach it to my clothes. I 3D printed
For my Fab Academy class I have to create a board with a microcontroller, a button and a LED. I will use Eagle to create it. Step 1: ATtiny 1614 I will use the ATtiny 1614, so I will use the reference of the echo Hello Board ATtiny 1614 from Neil Gershenfeld. I will also
In the past few weeks, the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus disease (COVID 19) worldwide has exceeded 100,000, and the world health organization (WHO) has declared the new coronavirus pneumonia outbreak to be a global pandemic. I was very worried about this outbreak, and I had to go online every day to check the

Hello everyone, in this quick article I will share with you my project :ATGM332D GPS module with SAMD21J18 Microcontroller and SSD1306 OLED 128*64 display, I built a special PCB for it on Eagle Autodesk, and program it using Atmel studio 7.0 and ASF4 so in this article I will share with you this journey and
I bought this book to improve my Micropython-skills: MicroPython for ESP8266 Development Workshop by Agus Kurniawan. This book is a very good start, the I2C project uses a PCF8591 module. But no DAC programming example so I had to figure that out by myself 🙂 . Supplies: What do we need: – Wemos D1R2 (or
In this article we’re going to build three projects utilizing AI functions of Codecraft, a graphical programming environment based on Scratch 3.0. Codecraft is developed and maintained by TinkerGen education and is free to use. AI and it’s subset, machine learning, has become an integral part of our lives in the last 10 years. School
