Telepresence is really cool. Being able to have my mum, who lives some 7000km away, look in the direction of one of my kids whilst we're on the dinner table is just priceless. Nevertheless, the solutions available are either expensive, require a lot...
About polarimetric imaging Here is some more info on the polarimetric sensor and how it works: Polarsens The raw images from the sensor are transformed into color by calculating the angle and degree of polarization from the difference in luminance between...
I'll be posting a lot of details to my blog, and post a link to it soon. In the meantime, here is some basic information about the table. General I put a lot of effort into making the mechanism and electronics reliable and quiet., and largely succeeded....
Assembly Manual – Google Docs Kits available on Tindie | Etsy The PC itself consists of an mSTX form-factor motherboard that can support a variety of processors, 260-pin SO-DIMM laptop RAM, and either NVMe or SATA storage depending...
This rugged and compact minicomputer was in a corner of my mind for too long with a 10.1 LCD screen laying around and few other components.Luckily this Hackaday opportunity boost me up to remove this idea from the project waiting list.Design in Solidworks...
You already know what this project is, and you're right. Using a stationary bicycle to generate your own electricity is not an earth-shattering idea. This concept comes up from time to time on Hackaday, and there is always lively discussion and armchair...
This cyberdeck falls into the "hacker // prepper" category. It can be used as a daily driver but is intended for a survivalist situation. For this reason I made sure to include GPS and RTL-SDR dongles in my build. I also wanted to have two screens...
1. Building a prototype: The first step was to designe a small PCB with capacitive buttons on it and to mill it with my othermill, to check out how easy or hard it would get to read out the buttons with an atmega32u4 aka an arduino pro micro...
Not too long after having built my keezer, I decided I wanted to be able to weigh each of the kegs. Unfortunately, this wasn’t something I had considering during the initial build so I had very little clearance between the top of the tallest keg and...

Basic premise:There is a basic gap in services that are provided to the market, this is evident in two ways, firstly, all "home cloud" solutions appear to be not really cloud based at all (as I would see the definition of a cloud based service).The definition...
What’s in a lab? I had to make some decisions as to what tools and components would be crucial to making this thing as useful as possible. There are quite a few tools that are versatile enough to be a part of any laboratory, and there are some great...
A screw-propelled vehicle is a type of land or amphibious vehicle that uses one or more auger-like cylinders fitted with a helical flange to move. The cylinders are rotated by an engine, and the flange engages with the ground or water to propel the vehicle...
Story The concept In 2020, right after I created my first project, Pixie. I was thinking about what could be the next project, I saw that some makers were using a LED matrix to make several projects and thought that maybe I could...
Sketch of the electronics Its heart is a Teensy 3.2 microcontroller board. It is fast, has plenty of peripherals and is easy to use due to Arduino compatible libraries. I use an H-bridge IC, the L293, as motor driver, allowing to drive in reverse. It...
