FixesI bought a sketchy 25dBi Yagi-Uda antenna from China which did not perform great out-of-the-box. It had a hard time detecting access points just a few meters away, and my 5dBi Dipole antenna outperformed it in every way (even the range!). I did...
Fit the LED'sThe 12 Neopixels fit into the circular depressions in the middle petals and are wired in a ring power configuration and serially data linked using the grooves to form and retain the wires. Three flexible multistrand wires ~80mm in...
When you think about the word “retro”, it shouldn’t take you long to visualize a jukebox!The jukebox, despite being very outdated, can be a great element of retro deco to have in your house, especially if it’s a smart home full of tech...
Crank ExtensionProbably the trickiest element of this build.Crank face geometry is silly variable for aesthetic reasons. You may have to go for much thicker flat stock depending on your 3 piece crank (will not discuss 1 piece cranks here, if you want...
The plywood product I used was 1/2x2x4 G1S, $37 ea before tax in Ontario in summer of 2022. For the project infrastructure, four 1" x 4" x 8' knotty pine planks would be price competitive and less work to waterproof, but less convenient to transport....
In the arduino code set your WiFi credentials char wifissid[] = "ENTER YOUR WiFi SSID HERE"; char wifipass[] = "ENTER YOUR WiFi PASSWORD HERE"; Normally, the signal strength is displayed in dBm. But for a non techie person, the signal strength in terms...
USE Once the robotic arm has been completed, it is necessary to fasten the base to the support surface by means of screws or suction cups. Alternatively, the tendency to overturn in extreme conditions can be countered by applying a mass-weight counterweight...
This workshop was derived from the original PCB Lamp. The project has become more interesting every time, and this time around, the participants of the workshops define how the Lamp will look like, and its core functionality! Participants will...
Making the Yagi1) Use the dimension for the elements from the design I posted above to measure and cut the elements. 2mm fencing wire & some small wire cutters does the job, try to get the lengths as accurate as possible.2) Use a sharpie to draw a straight...

The construction work of the CNC machine is pressing go on your CNC machine. But as anyone knows, CNC work is 95% setup and 5% cutting! A few words on setup are important here. First, getting a solid fixture is essential. I am choosing to hold down the...
No step-by-step instructions here, follow your printing intuition/experience, but few tips would be: I'd say print everything except small covers with 3-4 walls and 30-40% infill. Most parts do not require much printing support except maybe if you have...
Create Simblee ApplicationThis is the heart of this project, a mobile device app programmed on the Simblee. The following is the code for creating a user interface to control the Simblee IO pin.Include the SimbleeForMobile.h Library#include Define Relay...
