There was 3 projects in a row where something had to be blown up. 🙂 It all began with a TV show that needed an explosive gift box. It's a metal box with a confetti cannon inside. It needs 12V and a few amps to blow. The box is remote controlled by a cheap 433MHz... Continue Reading →
A friend of mine needed a couple of NTP clocks. They had to have relatively large displays and use wired Ethernet for the network connection. I used the Arduino MKR1010, because it has a RTC on board which can hold time precisely even if network is not present, and a MKR ETH shield for wired... Continue Reading →
So here's a cupboard for my hall. It's made of oak's glueboard. Again, the model was done in SketchUp: I used a regular table saw to cut the pieces - not the best idea if you want all the measures to be exact and all the cuts perfect, but it's doable. The pieces were put... Continue Reading →
One day I got an e-mail from a really cool singer Laura. She had a new song for a national song contest "Eesti laul" and she asked if I could light up her dress (designed by Kätlin Haak) on that contest. The concept was simple - to put some LED-strip on the dress and find... Continue Reading →
A while ago, a friend of mine went hiking with a bike. He had a Hero 2, and he wanted the camera to take a picture after every minute. GoPro has a time lapse option built in, but if you want to use it through a day, the battery won't last. So I needed a... Continue Reading →
The kitchen table is entirely made of oak. For legs and also for top I bought rough sawn timber, glued some of it together to get the right size for the legs. The entire table is put together without any screws, except the "centering log" under the top plate. For the frame I cut mortise... Continue Reading →
Me and a couple of pals from Estonian IT College decided to build a robot to take part of Robotex - the biggest robotics event in the Baltic states. Our original blog is in the EIK Wiki (see Maze Solver). We made a first simple prototype with a bought chassis, Arduino Uno, 3x ultrasonic sensors... Continue Reading →
Please note, that the Eye-Fi cards used in this project have reached the EOL and are no longer supported by manufacturer's software, so when following my guidelines, I suggest using a regular SD card and regularly copying the pictures to a remote location. I needed something to make a time lapse movie of a construction... Continue Reading →
