Another simple ventilator build

Posted on June 10, 2020 by robertwilkie

Clever build. I don’t see these builds ever making it to US due to regulations, and fear of lawsuits. But maybe other countries can use these ideas. https://www.instructables.com/id/Intro-RespiArt-a-Simply-Ventilator/

Cool looking wall art

Interesting build. One thing I might do differently is put an inner set of LED strips too. https://www.instructables.com/id/Wooden-Neopixel-Hexagon/

Interesting build for a shop filter

Posted on April 20, 2020 by robertwilkie

The author made a controller for the wood job to turn it on/off based on sound, remote, or a button. Also has a timer. Oh all based on an arduino.

Hacking the lightbulb

Posted on April 17, 2020 by robertwilkie

Pretty neat, apparently wifi enabled light bulbs by Tuya (which get rebranded alot) use the ESP8266, and can be reflashed to use the opensource project so you can customize the bulb yourself.

I got a kick out of this one. basically its a simple plunger based build for a hands free soap dispenser. Uses an ardiuno, servo, and ultra sonic sensor. https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-Automatic-Soap-Dispenser-3D-Printed–1/

Great way to sand objects. The author designed the parts to 3D print out and make your own tumbler. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4076827
