New Project: Arduino-Powered Pinewood Derby Race Car
John: My son is in Cub Scouts, and for years we’ve been building Pinewood Derby cars. It’s always … interesting to see how much involvement the scouts have, versus their parents, in making their cars. For the most part, I’ve let my son do what he wants: cut the car, […]

New Project: Put a Tiny Power Switch on Your 9V Battery Clip
Looking around my styrofoam plate hovercraft for a place to mount a switch, I hit upon the battery clip itself. I thought of a bunch of projects — from breadboarding to BEAM robotics to Arduino — where a 9V battery clip with a built-in power switch could come in handy. But nobody seems to sell one. So I made my own — Das Neunvoltzensvitcher!

New Project: High-Speed Splash Photography Rig with Arduino
Photos of items dropping into water (or other liquids) always have the potential to fascinate — the dramatic splashdown, the explosion of flying droplets frozen in time. They’re also increasingly seen in commercial images — look in your local supermarket and there’s a high probability you’ll find an image of […]

Wacky and World-Class New 3D Printers at Midwest RepRap Fest
This past weekend, Goshen, Indiana played host to the third annual Midwest RepRap Fest (MRRF — pronounced “merf”). Goshen is also the home of SeeMeCNC, who organize MRRF — explaining why a world-class event like this takes place in such a remote location. SeeMeCNC’s hand in the event could not be more obvious than when […]

New Project: Build an Easy, Versatile Magnetic Flashlight Tripod
When I discovered my Stanley Tripod flashlight had a battery acid leak, it was, unfortunately, exactly when I needed a tripod flashlight the most — for fixing a leak under my sink. I went to my flashlight drawer and realized I already have plenty of flashlights, all I really needed was […]
