Doom on an ESP32

Posted on January 30, 2022 by robertwilkie

This has been making alot of rounds lately, DOM being ported to run on an ESP32 Pico board with a 240×240 tiny screen.

Nice Telsa Coil winder

Posted on January 26, 2022 by robertwilkie

With an Arduino as the controller, I actually wonder if this could be adapted to make windings for generators. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/tesla-coil-winding-machine-video-87864?homelistings#post190796

Arduino controlled Foam Cutter

Posted on January 20, 2022 by robertwilkie

I can’t remember if I did this once before, but I was looking at building one of these again. And stumbled on this build. Mostly has 3D printed parts and uses an arduino for the controller.

simple IOT moisture sensor

Posted on January 17, 2022 by robertwilkie

Interesting build with an arduino nano, an ESP-32 maybe a better solution next. https://www.hackster.io/buddhimaan/iot-moisture-sensor-788327

USB stack for Arduino that allows drag and drop

Posted on January 10, 2022 by robertwilkie

Basically it lets you treat the arduino like a USB drive to put files onto it. I needed to do this with one of my own projects, so having a simple TinyUSB library to do this is nice.

A double headed CNC plotter

Posted on January 7, 2022 by robertwilkie

I got a kick out of this, the author build another CNC out of PVC, this time it can “draw on both sides to make duplicate pictures at the same time. I like how the “z” axis is CDROM drive … Continue reading →

Another nice CDROM to CNC build

Posted on December 24, 2021 by robertwilkie

What I like about this build is the only bits you use from the CDROM is the rails and motors, the rest is 3D printed parts. My 2 cents, I would use the motor and slide 3D printed parts, but … Continue reading →

Impressive LED display build

Posted on December 18, 2021 by robertwilkie

If you need to make something like a score board and a clock. I like the build but I started thinking, instead of 3D printing the frame, it maybe quicker to use simple boxes and cut out the display part … Continue reading →

A cheaper eggbot build

Posted on December 17, 2021 by robertwilkie

OK this is one of the cheaper and not looking cheezy builds I have seen for an eggbot. The sides are cut from wood (pattern available). Base is maker bar. Overall a simple build. And…instead of an arduino, its using … Continue reading →
