(From the MAKE Flickr pool) Kevin Osborn used an Arduino, an Adafruit motor shield, and an infrared proximity sensor from SparkFun to create a hypnodisk for kids to interact with. I did a presentation on makers for our elementary school’s Science Discovery Week. I have done a lot of projects but wanted to do some […]
Last night’s Lost at Sea show opening was packed full of enthusiastic fiber arts fans, all checking out the nautical niceties at gallery hanahou in NYC. I snapped a few photos (more after the jump), but if you can, go check out the show in person! Lost at Sea May 6 through June 11 gallery […]
In this video and at this site, annoyingly good-looking Swedish videographer Jonathan Bergqvist details the construction of this clever shoulder-mount device for shooting video with a DSLR. Designed by Jonathan and his father Erik, the rig itself is made out of birch and includes a manual focus puller, actuated by twisting the left handle, that is hacked together from R/C control rod parts and a hose clamp.

I’m building an Arduino Nerf sentry gun. In the previous post, I showed how I wired and mounted the trigger connector. Next, I needed a circuit to fire the gun from the Arduino microcontroller. To me, the most straightforward way to do this is with a small, 5V relay wired to a digital pin and ground of the Arduino.
