Story Fascinated by this humorous anthropomorphic idea on instructable that left me philosophizing deeply about the essence of art, I decided to make this a project after witnessing many ruthless battles between human and robot on YouTube. How does it work? The Arduino “listens” to the state of the switch and actuates the servo when …
In one of my previous Instructables, I showed you how you can use a Stepper motor as a rotary encoder. In this Instructable, let’s learn how we can use it to control our computer. So without further ado, let’s get started! Step 1: Watch the Video Watch the above video to get a better idea of …

Rafael Fuentes, Carmen María Fuentes and Carmen Pérez decided to create this project that was submitted to ‘Creative Electronics’, a Beng Electronics Engineering module at University of Málaga, School of Telecommunications. The project consists of making an eggbot using an Arduino Uno development board. This project was done for being a good introduction to CNC machines …
Following the popularity of our self balancing scooter and the SciChair we decided to try something a little edgier, the Self Balancing Unicycle. This project reuses a lot of stuff from our previous projects, using an arduino as the brains behind the scenes. Step 1: Ready your tools Before we begin lets ensure we have …
In the 1970’s, a psychic named Uri Geller introduced spoon-bending using his mental powers and became famous for it. Well, I don’t claim to be a psychic, but I thought it would be fun to be able to bend a spoon or fork using my brainwaves, and this would be a good first project utilizing …
In a previous tutorial we have seen how to run two stepper motors synchronously from a given start position to a defined destination using an Arduino and a very simple “user interface”. That user interface was restricted to some microswitches and LEDs, both installed on a breadboard. As promised, this new instructable shows how to add a …
The Strandbot is a DIY upgrade for the Strandbeest originally designed by Theo Jansen. Strandbeests are amazing mechanical creatures that are able to move on their own using just a little bit of wind power. Unfortunately my tiny apartment is short on wind, so I decided to upgrade a miniature Strandbeest using an Arduino and …
