Well this could be one way to teach kids arduinos
The author basically taped a servo to the fire switch on an xbox controller so it constantly taps it. Thus shooting bad guys just to level the player up. Not a bad idea where you don’t have to modify the … Continue reading

Closed loop control for 3D printing
Or CNC, the author talks about using servo’s/dc motors instead of steppers, and an encoder to tell where you are. http://www.3ders.org/articles/20150122-add-a-closed-loop-control-to-your-3d-printer-and-never-worry-about-missed-steps-again.html

How to use a stepper motor
Nice write-up on how stepper motors work, and using an arduino to control them. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-use-a-Stepper-Motor/

Instructions on err…building an adult toy
I knew it would happen sooner or later. Someone would write up and publish designs for sex toys on instructables. That aside, its an interesting write up combining 3D printing with internal motors an an arduino controller. http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-Mod-v01-Vibrating-Sensing-Open-Hardware-Per/

Simple write-up on using a cheap stepper with an arduino
Looks like one of those really cheezy ones found inside cheap printers. Pretty simple write-up for those that are interested. http://www.instructables.com/id/Driving-the-pm55L-048-hp69-with-Arduino/

Got an old printer? Make a rock tumbler
Nice build with an old printer parts. Pretty simple too. The only bits that I am concerned with is that a full fledged arduino was used (could he not use a simpler circuit?). And …it takes 2 weeks to “polish” … Continue reading
Make a wearable temp sensor
Actually I was more interested in using the sensor, a TMP36 with an arduino. But putting it in clothing could be a good idea. http://makezine.com/projects/wearable-temperature-sensors-for-working-in-extreme-cold/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=%24%7Bfeed%7D&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+%24%7Bmakezineonline%7D+%28%24%7BMAKE%7D%29&utm_content=%24%7BGoogleReader%7D
OK these bike lights are better
This is a nice build and the light control is cool…but…alot of work, you have custom arduino and circuit boards, 3D printed parts, etc etc. If you have alot of time on your hands, this would be a fun project … Continue reading
Custom Stitch with an arduino
Nice build where the author uses an arduino and a servo to control where the head for an old sewing machine is positioned to get different types of stitches. Now if it only moved the cloth too. http://hackaday.com/2015/01/07/arduino-controlled-sewing-machine-increases-stitch-options/ http://www.upcraft.it/archives/689

Opensource robot snowplow
If I only had time…and some extra cash. I can see this project being a fun one to build. I like how the treads are build off of bike chains. http://www.open-electronics.org/here-comes-the-open-source-snow-plow-robot/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+OpenElectronics+%28Open+Electronics%29
